Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year

The Village Hall has had a very successful, and busy, year.
Hirers use of the hall- In addition to the regular user groups and
classes (Yoga, Badminton, Luncheon Club, Carpet Bowls, Garden Club,
Pingo Jazz group, Kenninghall Singers, Pilates and Zumba), we now
have Boxercise, and on a six month cycle a special needs group of
children playing badminton. Two new classes - Zumba gold chair, and
barre fitness, are due to start in the coming weeks.
The weekly Mindfulness café ran for part of the year, but have now
relocated to their own premises.
This year has seen numerous bookings for children’s birthday parties,
along with funeral wakes, dance practise, polling station and private
badminton sessions.
Fundraising eventsthis year included: Quizes, D-Day Commemoration,
Best of Kenninghall Produce show, the Dance with the Daydreamers,
annual Christmas Craft Fair, along with KKC Bingo, and the Church
Christmas Fair.
TheMemorial Roomis used regularly for Village Hall meetings, Parish
Council meetings, the Kenninghall Singers, Lands Trust meetings, and
also Norfolk Police, Band practices, Bowls meetings, training courses,
and small exercise classes. The room has the capacity to be used much
more regularly for meetings or small clubs.
TheSnooker Roomis used regularly by snooker club members on a
weekly and also occasional basis, which generates a good income for
the hall. We currently have 40 club members. The snooker table was
refurbished in February this year.
Maintenance and Servicingthis year has included a new valve for the
urinals water system; replacement of the front door codelock inner
mechanism; a new storage container; annual servicing of the air source
heater by Finn Geotherm; servicing/testing of fire alarm, emergency
lighting, fire extinguishers by Efire; shutter servicing; PAT testing; Health
and Hygiene inspections.
The Fire Alarm and Disabled Toilet Alarm are tested and recorded every
week. We have also updated the Village Hall Health and Safety Policy.
Equipment- a number of padded chairs have been damaged and
replaced by chairs from the store, in addition we have purchased four 30
stone capacity chairs to address this problem.
Two destratification fans have been installed in the Main Hall to address
the heating issue in there, and as we had a scissor lift on site, LED lights
were fitted to replace the fluorescent tube lighting. (This should
significantly reduce our electricity costs, and during the year we also
secured a cheaper tariff for our electricity supply).
The same week the kitchen was refitted with commercial appliances
consisting of cooker, glass washer, dish washer, microwaves and
extractor fan, to help the volunteers of the very popular Luncheon Club.
This was paid for by the Mary Bowles trustees via the Luncheon Club.
Thanks to the Parish Council and the Mary Bowles trustees for their
financial support, without this, it would not have been possible.
At the start of the financial year the Mary Bowles charity also paid for the
improvements to sound and ambient lighting installed by Simply Sound,
again many thanks for this.
A leak in the roof valley was discovered while the Kitchen was being
refitted, three quotes were obtained to rectify the problem, and one has
been accepted. The work will be carried out by the contractor, date to be
confirmed.
