## **Garboldisham Village Hall** ## **- Chairs Annual Report April 2023 April 2024** April 2023-April 2024 has been a very positive year for our Village Hall. The hall bookings have increased throughout the year both from our regular user and new clients. We are becoming the ‘Go To’ centre for children’s parties and anniversary parties. The National Blood Transfusion service continue to use our facilities on a very regular basis. We are now also used as a hub meeting centre for Anglia Water, again on a very regular basis. Very pleasingly the Village School now have weekly bookings for various classes. New letters we have attracted also include art classes, The Retriever Society and private table tennis players. We are very happy to be supporting the Palgrave Players who put on a very successful production earlier in the year and ‘Celtic Nights” a few days ago. We are hoping that they will be back later this year with a major production. As you will have noticed we have solar panels on our roof. We are now investigating the purchase of air source heat pumps and or battery storage to try and reduce our fuel costs and make us fully ‘GREEN’. This winter we were able to offer winter warmer lunches to our community which were very well received. Joint events were held with the Fox, again well received. Our Bangers and Bingo evenings, Christmas Fayre, produce show and Christmas lunch were all very successful and well supported by the community. The Village Hall Trustees have given support to our Baby and Toddler group throughout the year. We are grateful for the support shown by our local Councillor, Marion Chapman-Allen for her alerts to funding opportunities that may be available from Breckland Council. Our team of Trustees continue to work hard to keep our Village Hall a vibrant, welcoming centre for the community. We thank Paul Jackson for his years of service as our secretary who stood down last year. We are pleased to welcome Rachel Waldron as a new trustee. Thanks go to all Trustees for their support and especially to our new secretary- Val Trivett and our long-standing Treasurer Mary Bradbury. The Trustees are very grateful for an unexpected recent bequest of £10,000 to the Village Hall from the estate of Mr David Hance, a long-time supporter and former Chairman. The funds will be used in the future for a major project. We look forward to a settled 2023/4 and hope for a vibrant year at the Village Hall and look forward to welcoming you all to future events.
