Otterbourne Village Hall Committee – Registered Charity 301911
Chairman’s Annual Report – June 2025
Another year has slipped past and as I sit down to compose this report, it gives me a chance to reflect on everything that has taken place over these last 12 months.
The Village Hall continues to stand as a cornerstone of the local community, a place where clubs can thrive, friendships are forged and memories made. The hall offers a first class facility and this is endorsed by the solid schedule of daily bookings and continued demand.
As we know, this is largely down to the way the hall is presented, managed and maintained but it is also positively enhanced by the success and vibrancy of the clubs and societies that use the hall on a regular basis.
A heartfelt thanks goes to Terry and Carol who continue to keep the hall in great condition and this is assisted by the way the wonderful clubs are managed and organised. As I will continue to say, Otterbourne Village Hall needs you and for all your efforts I am very grateful.
The numerous tweaks and renovations undertaken throughout the year, coupled with prudent financial management in key areas, have significantly contributed to our progress. Susie continues to make substantial progress in modernising the way we manage our finances (thanks Susie!), and we appear to be in a robust financial position. We hope to maintain this positive trajectory moving forward.
Otterbourne Theatre Company had another fantastic 12 months since my last report including sold out Murder Mystery Evenings, the hugely popular Alice in Wonderland Pantomime and the upcoming ‘Another Night at the Musicals – Title Songs’ Summer Show. Richard and his talented team deserve great credit for their continued enthusiasm and success.
On a personal note, I want to thank not only Terry for his unwavering commitment in managing the hall, and all that goes on within it, but I would also like to thank all of the Committee for their support over the last 12 months, particularly Pete, Tim and Susie who have been fantastic as always. I would like to single out Pete who does so much for the hall, from his practical skills to his technical knowledge, he is an amazing asset for us all.
Have a great summer.

Inde endent Examiner's Re ort This report on the Accounts of the Otterbourne Village Hall Management Committee for the year ended 31 March 2025 is in respect of an Examination carried out under the Charities Act 1993 Res active Res onsibilities of Mana ement Committaa and Examiner As the Members of the Management Committee (and as Trustees), but particularly the Treasurer as your Representative, you are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts. As a Management Committee, you consider that the audit requirements of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 do not apply. In other words, as a Management Committee, you do not consider that it is required to have an Audit by a Registered Auditor because your gross income or total expenditure during 202412025 did not exceed £250.000. It is my responsibility to issue this Report on those Accounts in accordance with the temis of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 1995. Basis of Inde endent Examlner's Re ort My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under the Act. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Management Committee and comparisons of the Accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the Accounts and seeking explanations from you as the Management Committee, but particularly the Treasurer as your representative, concerning any such matters. The prOdureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an Audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the Accounts. Inde endont Examinorf Ststsmen In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention, which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of Charities Act 1993 have not been met. No other matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts e reached.
