Chairman’s Report – 2nd September 2025 I have now realised that after far too many years as your Chairman that it is now becoming increasingly difficult to say anything original my annual reports. So I therefore apologise if you think you may have heard some of the following before. Thankfully the past year has progressed reasonably smoothly, with the slight exception of the fire alarm occasionally misbehaving. This is largely down to the work carried out by Dave as Hall Manager who is ably assisted by Dennis to ensure that the hall is maintained to an extremely high standard and any minor day to day problems can normally be handled quickly and efficiently. I believe that the overall levels of bookings has remained constant and, although we are maintaining our cash reserves, we still need to be aware of any unexpected expenses. Jeremy will go through the accounts in more detail and answer any questions that you may have. The Club Room floor has had work carried out which included sanding, staining and resealing to improve its appearance. I am also pleased to report that the new booking system has been installed and allows access to both Dave and Jeremy as well as Robin, therefore enabling us to work in a more efficient manner. Obviously due to continued rising costs I am sure it will be necessary to increase hire charges again this year and all hirers will be made aware of these. I am pleased to say that we have not had any changes to the personnel running the Hall this year and I would obviously like to thank Jeremy for his continuing work as our Treasurer and Robin as our Booking secretary, together with Ros who continues as our Secretary. Finally I would also like to thank all of the trustees but as ever, as we are all aware, there is now an urgent need to recruit additional trustees to help oversee the running of the Hall. I would urge anyone who feels that they may know somebody who could be interested to speak to me.
