HEATHLANDS MANAGEMENT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

TUESDAY 26TH MARCH 2024 , ATTENDEDMichael BY: Claire N (Chair), Terry N( Chair of SC), Jill W (Sec), D (Treasurer) Anne Blore, Clare Hill, Clare Kempster, Edna J, Jean Y (WI), Janet Clarke (Badminton), Fiona Trimble (Pre-School) Yvonne B (PC), Russell Hill

NO MATTERS ARISING FROM 2023 AGM Mins Signed off

CHAIRMAN’s REPORT

Heathlands continues to flourish with all the hard work and commitment from the Management team. Last year was challenging with the increase of the energy price rises, which meant we had no option but to increase all the hiring fees to compensate, but we feel sure everyone understands.

The revenue we receive from the SC has kept us in the black and we cannot over emphasise how much we appreciate all the hard work the SC puts into contributing financially to Heathlands. The SC is such an asset and we are so proud to have such a wonderful facility on our doorstep.

We did manage to do a final upgrade on the electrical installation in the Main Hall which means we are now fully compliant with the latest standards.

We also had to attend to the trees in the Forest school, probably as a result of the high winds of 2023, which was rather expensive.

The Car Park, as you know is our next project to tackle. The problem has increased because Blofield united Youth Football Club continues to gather more members and also the popularity of Heathlands continues to grow. We are about to apply for planning permission to extend the Car Park, the hardest part is trying to raise the £30,000,. There is not much interest from Charities for grants for Car Parks and we have already drawn a blank from Norfolk County Council.

Ona brighter note, we did have a wonderful Royal occasion again in May last year, with the Coronation of our new King and Queen. It was a really great day for Heathlands and the weather was good too. We had a huge amount of people from far and wide, the BBQ sold out, as they were so many people, the Tea and Cake was very enjoyable, we hada great raffle and the Ice Cream man stayed all afternoon. We finished off with a singer who had everyone’s feet tapping.

Nippy Chippy still comes every Friday and is very busy, especially in the summer months when families can come and sit outside with a glass or two of ale.

The village Lottery, which Graham kindly runs for us and is very professionally arranged and as always it would be great to have a few more people join.

The Monday luncheon Club, which was restarted recently and is now held on every other Monday. Numbers are gradually increasing since the Corona virus and Sarah and Jill each take it in turns to organise the day. We understand they had a wonderful “Day out” including lunch at Gorleston.

Pre-School is very busy anda great asset to the village. Messy Mushrooms on a Friday is also very popular and a great benefit to mums and dads. The Forest School now has new fencing following a spate of vandalism, which Pre School managed to pay for themselves.

Bingo, Dawn and her band of helpers organise. It is a great evening of fun and laughter and is also a steady income for Heathlands.

The main hall is reasonably well booked, with short mat bowls, WI , Zumba, Fitsteps, Badminton, plus all other events and activities. These are all another vital part of our annual income, so we do need to be pro active and try and make sure “Jill’s” diary is full.

Jill & Jackie’s Tea and Chat is very popular too and especially nice for people just dropping in on their own and spend an afternoon with friends, this is a really popular event, so well done to both Jill and Jackie

Our Christmas Fair last year was a really successful event with lots of people coming, including from other surrounding villages. The Garage Sale, Jumble Sales and the Open Garden all help to add to our funds, but they don’t just happen, they are all hard work.

We have recently had a new Slide for the older children, kindly given to us by a very generous benefactor. The new Play and Gym equipment given to us by “Highways England” is now completed, apart from some reinstatement of the grass and this was all kindly arranged by the PC

We are still labouring through the amendments to the Constitution which is currently with CAN, but they are taking their time, we just have to be patient. Hopefully by the next AGMI can report that everything is sorted, perhaps.

We are also still awaiting the final approval from HMRC ref Gift Aid, this is now 2 months ago we sent in their final requirements and as yet we have not had a reply, good or otherwise. They have no email or telephone number, so contact is by post only.

Finally, I would like to thank you all for being here supporting Heathlands. A special thanks goes to Jill our Sec, for keeping us in such good order, and Michael our Treasurer who keeps the books so we can all see where we are financially and of course the PC for their continued support and together we can all move forward into 2024.

Thank you everyone

REPORTS FROM

SOCIAL CLUB

Just for the record I need to confirm that we co-opted 2 new members onto the Committee in 2023. Shaun and Paul are both proving to be a great asset in the Club already. Unfortunately Graham has decided to retire from the Committee due to other commitments. Jill had a full diary of bookings throughout the year, including the Ofender which still remains as popular as ever. There are too many events, parties etc to say, but generally 2023 was a good year for the Social Club. _ Paul Brister introduced Heathlands to Northern Soul which was a first for Heathlands. For those of you, like me, had not heard of it, Northern Soul is music played with a very heavy beat and a very fast tempo. From the last event is was very popular with lots of people attending, so for anybody who likes Northern Soul, watch our fb page for more. Leading up to July, we had a good Summer Beer festival and again withoutgoing into too much detail, takings were good, both on the ales and at the Bar. All the music went as planned and the weather held out too. We had another, slightly smaller Beer Festival in November, again it was well attended and we made a few more pennies.

Jill and I have had a couple of meetings with Blofield united Youth Football Club and we are looking at possibilities of improving the changing facilities, not that we have much to offer, but that’s waiting on them to come back to us at present. Our Treasurer Chris, this year kindly offered to take on paying all the Bar staff, which is quite an unenviable task, but we needed that to happen to be able to complete the amendments to the Constitution. Chris is not retiring?

He is just handing over the accounting to Ros Brister, who has kindly offered to take this forward.

Day Centre — Sarah not at meeting, Jill reported lots of new members and the club going from strength to strength. The members enjoy, coffee, hot lunch, entertainment, outings, bingo, and chatting.

PRE-SCHOOL- Fiona reported on years activities etc. Hello everybody, Well I’m sure that everyone has money forecasts in minds and it is no different for us at pre pre-school. Staffing — We continue to advertise for another Level 3 member of staff. The post was filled successfully however, it is now looking to be filled again. We are covering this with Jo Francis, who retired last year and Jane Carver who has also come out of retirement.

We are advertising for a Forest School Leader Level 3, Clare had to return to full time work.

I have also handed in my resignation and will be retiring in July after 30 years with the preschool in various roles. Parent, Chair of committee, practitioner and Manager for a considerable period. I still love the role immensely and would happily keep going for years, however feel the time of right to focus on my health (recent heart attack) . We are currently advertising for a replacement. FINANCES

Despite the Government underfunding, we manage to operate due to successful fundraising and very careful management of our money. With minimum wage bill we are rethinking ways of operating, extra charges that can be made and all sorts. Our income is derived from Government funding, fees and fund raising. Income from MM is hugely beneficial. Fee paying children provide more income per hour. We also get a small amount of additional funding to enable us to support some children with their additional needs. Speech etc. Forest School.

This continues to be of enormous benefit to the children. Our fab fence, although expensive, should help the future of forest school. We paid for it ourselves in the end as grants would have taken so much longer to secure. We continue to look into funding for a shelter and compostable toilet. FUNDRAISING

continues to be robust ,our January jumble was another great success and our Easter Fayre raised £650.

MESSY MUSHROOMS Advertising through our MM FB page has been key to getting our name out there. Feedback is always very positive and we work hard to provide families with engaging and stimulating sensory activities. We have a lovely MM community, people come to our pre-school because they have been to MM and this in turn should feed into the school. OFSTED

We were inspected in February and once again have received a “GOOD” grading. We are delighted with this outcome. The two inspectors were very complimentary about the setting and the staff in particular. That should be it for another 6 years Last one for me hurrah!!!! Final thank you goes, once again to HMC for continually flying the flag and supporting us. We always appreciate it. Heartfelt thanks from me Thank you Fiona enjoy your retirement.

BLOFIELD HEATH W.I.

Blofield Heath WI meets every second Tuesday of the month at Heathlands. Meetings start at 2.00pm and last until 4-4.30 Due to a number of local WI’s closing we now have 55 members and may soon need a waiting list. There are usually several visitors each month too. We havea thriving committee and a number of non-committee helpers too. At most meetings we have a speaker and these can vary from Nursing during the Pandemic to The Dog Trust and the Great Thorpe Railway Disaster! The speaker is then followed by a discussion, any other WI Business and then afternoon tea provided by members ona rota basis. We do have a reputation among other WI’s for our delicious teas. Every year our Summer Meeting consists of a Strawberry Tea in a members garden and in December we go out for a Christmas Lunch. Our WI has a darts team, walking group, book club and luncheon group. Blofield Heath WI plays an important part in village life providing company and entertainment to anyone wishing to take part.

Joy Taylor (president WI)

BADMINTON -— Our ladies badminton group continue to enjoy Monday evening sessions, but now one of our long playing members is unable to play, and another leaving us are down to just 4 . For this reason I am

hoping to advertise for another two ladies to join our group, as though the 4remaining players wish to carry on , we need to recruit another one or two players to keep playing every week. We remain grateful for the use of the hall, thank you. Janet Clarke

The books for the Day Centre are kept to a very high standard, with regular reconciliations made to cash and bank. Day Centre income has seen an increase compared to 2022 as activity starts to return to pre-pandemic levels.

The book keeping for Community Centre was completed by Triple Bottom Line Accounting. All months were reconciled to the bank account and all receipts were made available.

The 50:50 club books are maintained manually and there were no discrepancies or issues identified on completion of a bank reconciliation and the associated book keeping. The records of the Social Club are kept to a good level and expenditure can be confirmed against receipts. Its pleasing to see that cash takings continue to be banked in their entirety on a regular basis. A full audit trail showing the cash takings of each day continues to be seen. The social club was VAT registered for the whole of 2023. Triple Bottom Line continues to provide a book keeping service to this entity.
