RECULVER AND BELTINGE MEMORIAL HALL Presidents Annual Report Year ended 31.05.2025 The past year has been taken up with a lot of fijndraising because the hall roof needed to be replaced. This included a garden safari where many villagers allowed their gardens to be used. Displays by the hall users took place in the hall along with refreshments. During that afternoon our MP Sir Roger Gale and some of th¢ Canterbury Councillors also came to give their support. We also held quizzes, musical evenings and a line dance throughout the year which were all very successful. However we had great diificulty finding the right builders for the roof, but finally thought we were on the right lines. Once they were found we then had to go through all the papenvork required including building regs, architects and all the other rcgulations that a new roof would require. Unfortunately once all this was in place the builders pulled out so the work has been delayed. We are now having to look for another roofing company. The roof replacement is obviously the number one project to complete, but we have many other projects in line to further improve the hall for the benefit of all the users. The hall is still used daily by an assortment of clubs, groups and fitness classes etc. All of these are very well supported. With a strong committee of trustees we hope this will continue well into the future. Andrew Larner President
