The accounts were audited by Simplex Solutions.

Charges for users were increased by about 5%.

The income versus payments resulted in a break even outcome . This was mainly due to increased repairs and maintenance payments for the roof and outside decoration.

Thanks to Andy Bagworth for help and support.

The 200 Club gives a good income of approx. £2000 but involves quite a bit of work in maintaining the number of subscribers.

Secretary’s Report : There has been no correspondence of note.
Booking Oficer Report :

The Lemon Booking system works well. Lots of the private hirers are from outside the village and has been lots of favourable feedback.

Regular hire income has increased by about 30%, largely due to two new hires; Bumble Beats and a Pilates class. We lost the Hiitstep class during the year.

It was proposed and agreed that the hire rates stay the same for next year.

AOB
Mark Asplin asked how many Trustees are required to be quorate ? The answer was half of the elected Trustees.
Mark Asplin gave thanks for the work Jacqui Barnard had undertaken in her role as Hall Manager over the years.
It was noted that there was a need for additional trustees both for the Maxey Parish Council and the MCA. There will be a flyer distributed to encourage villagers to come forward and participate in the running of the village committees.
Mark Asplin proposed that he would lead the social activities of the village hall to revitalize enthusiasm for village events. This would be separate from the monthly MCA meeting, but any events would be with the agreement of the Trustees. As the current events schedule was already organised, it was proposed that Mark would take the lead after Christmas. All the present Trustees and Volunteers agreed this would be a good way forward.

As there was no further business the meeting closed at 19:10

Objects, Organisation and Activities

The object of the Charity is to maintain and improve Maxey Village Hall for the inhabitants of Maxey, Peterborough and other users.

This is to be achieved by advancing education. Providing recreation and leisure facilities and promoting charitable purposes. The Committee aims to provide facilities at an affordable cost to voluntary and organisations serving the community as well as residents.

Review and highlight of year

Overall, our accounts show we are in a good financial position. The financial statements which follow show the detail and current state of the Association’s Accounts.

We shall continue to subsidise some of our events and the hall charges to villagers, regular users and other voluntary groups.

The cost of repairs and maintenance has doubled this year due to necessary work being carried out. Money has been spent on new flooring in the entrance hall, replacement of the water heater, electrical work, external painting and roof repairs. The electricity costs remain high increasing by £400 this year.

We secured a National Lottery Grant of £10,000 in March 2025 which will be used to replace the floor in the main hall.

The 200 Club lottery has provided a profit of around £1000, going forward to the upkeep and maintenance of the village hall.

Regular hires income has increased by just under £3000 this year due to new hirers using the hall. The largest contributor being Bumble Beats who hire the hall 2 days a week from 8.30– 14.30.

Private hire income was £3305 (considering deposit returns), which is slightly up on last year.

From April 2025 the hall hire charges were increased by an average of 5% which has helped with our income stream.

We broke even on the several Committee events held during the year.

This has created an excess of income over expenditure of £1668.

The Accounts Independent Examiners are Simplex Solutions.
