Park Street Village Hall AGM
Registered Charity No. 302443
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Y/E 31/08/24
The year has Passed quickly with the hall continuing to be a popular venue, with an increase in regular and casual bookings. This has enabled us to continue our programme of repairs and improvements, some of which were outlined in my report last year.
Additional work proved necessary following our annual electrical inspection with various improvements recommended to comply with the latest legislation and avoid any problems with our insurance company in the event of a claim.
The emergency exit from the Downs Hall replacement became urgent and was totally replaced during the re-decoration of the hall.
We have now reached the end of our contract with EDF for our energy supply, a company whose incompetent management are solely intent on maximising profit, from whatever source and whose customer services department is beyond description. We have now signed a new contract with Octopus which will result in a significant reduction in our gas and electricity charges going forwards.
For the coming year, further improvements will be ongoing, if income continues to be healthy. This will include: the re-rendering of the external walls and the installation of solar panels which will further reduce our energy costs.
I would like to especially thank Ann, Paul and Jo for their daily input in to the smooth running of the hall allowing us to function professionally.
To close, I would again like to thank the whole committee for their support and hard work and we continue to look forward to this building functioning as an asset to the village and the surrounding area for many years to come.
