Chairperson's
Report -Year ended 31"March 2021
AGM 9»" August 2021
The Charity was formed 1952.The official name registered
with the Charity Commission
is 'Memorial
Hall and Playing Fields —Middleton
Cheney'. We are also known
by the
working names
PFA and Middleton
Cheney Playing Fields Association.
The Board ofTrustees are responsible
for the running ofthe charity and the
safeguarding
ofits assets.
From its conception
in 1952 the committee
comprises both residents
and
representatives
from the three main sports clubs, Football, Cricket and Tennis,
The field is still one ofthe main recreational
resources for the village, acting not only as
a sports field, but also housing a playpark
and providing
an invaluable
open green space
for a multitude
ofuses. During lockdown
this resource proved invaluable
to the
community.
The current committee took office in November
2020 and there have been many
challenges
due to the Covid pandemic,
however,
much work has been taking place
which may not always have been visible to the public. We have been updating
policies,
bringing
our governance
practices up to date and working to identify the future needs
of the hall, pavilion,
and field. A new website and email system is in progress to
facilitate better communication
both within
and outside ofthe committee.
We have been fortunate to have received several Government
backed Covid Grants to
support
us through
the pandemic. Without this support our finances would have been
precarious. The lockdown
restrictions
came into force just a few months after losing the
regular income from the use ofthe Memorial
Hail by the Social Club, which ceased
trading
in 3anuary 2020.The sports clubs continued to pay their rent which was a
welcome inflow offunds.
Short term considerations
We hope that, as restriction ease, we will be welcoming
back regular community
hirers
ofthe Memorial
Hall. It is not practical currently to reopen the bar orto put in place
those works needed to hire the venue out for larger events and parties.
Medium term considerations
We have spent some funds on modest essential
improvements,
and requirements
for
reopening.
A systematic
rolling programme
ofmaintenance
needs to be instigated. We
are focusing on the best way to utilise the funds we have for the future of the charity.
The grant funding
has enabled
us to ring fence reserves to protect the financiai position
ofthe charity going forward.
Whilst we have a great team ofgrounds persons that look after the field, we aim to
consider the boundaries
and other spaces available to us to determine
what
improvements
we can achieve. Ideas such as wildflower
areas, improved
hedgerows
and
tidying the boundaries
have been suggested.
Lon
term considerations
The buildings
as they stand require substantial
amounts to be spent to upgrade them
and to ensure they meet expectations
ofcurrent and potential
users. We are wary of
spending
our funds impulsively
as our aim for the future
isto provide an improved
building.
We have invited residents tojoin us on a working party to look at all the
options available to us and to determine
whether
a refurbishment
or rebuild would be
the best solution, and how to proceed. We welcome input and ideas and are looking for
volunteers
to become actively involved.
Rebuilding the hall is not a new idea by any
means and over the years there have been various proposals
and plans drawn
up.
These will be revisited, and a new approach
found, This will need to be considered
alongside
a concerted fundraising
effort. A solution
may be expensive,
but it is
necessary
ifwe are going to have a facility which will serve the village forthe long term.
