## **Otterbourne Village Hall Committee – Registered Charity 301911** ## **Chairman’s Annual Report – June 2026** Another year has quickly passed, and once again the Village Hall has remained at the heart of our community, providing a wonderful local facility that many nearby parishes can only admire. That does not happen by chance. It reflects not only the care with which the hall is managed and maintained, but also the warmth, friendship and sense of belonging created by the many clubs and societies that call OVH home. Terry and Carol continue to care for the hall with real dedication, and their efforts are strengthened by the commitment and goodwill shown by all our wonderful clubs. Otterbourne Village Hall only thrives because of the people who give their time, energy and support to it, and I am sincerely grateful to every one of you for all that you do. The refurbishments completed over the past year, together with careful spending in the right areas, have continued to make a meaningful difference to the hall and all who use it. Susie continues to do a tremendous job in moving the accounting side forward, and it is very encouraging to see that we appear to be in a strong financial position. Long may that continue. Otterbourne Theatre Company has enjoyed another fantastic 12 months since my last report, bringing energy, enjoyment and a great deal of talent to the hall. Highlights have included the Murder Mystery Evenings, the ‘ _Jack and the Beanstalk’_ pantomime (with rave reviews from the BBC), and the upcoming summer show, ‘ _Yes, It’s another Night at the Musicals’_ . Richard and his team deserve enormous credit for all they bring to OVH - they are a truly talented and committed group. On a personal note, I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks not only to Terry for the energy, care and commitment he continues to give in managing the hall and all that takes place within it, but also to the whole Committee for their encouragement and support over the past 12 months, particularly Pete, Tim and Susie. As this will be my last report, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for the future. Many thanks.
