COMMITTEE
CHAIRMANS ANNUAL REPORT
I￿ March 2025
The Hall and its surroundings contlnue to thrtve onty due to the contiibution of many
dedicated volunteers and hdpers to whom l extend my gratitude. The Hall has been
used for a wide variety of activi￿ thN)ughout the year indLKling Pre-school, theatrical
and singing perfomiances both indoors and at the Theatre by the pond, film shows,
bowls, badminton, table tennis, Tai Chi, WI, scouts, cubs and beavers, general meetings,
business seminars, private functions and parties, wedding receptions, and dog dubs.
The Last Saturday Café each month and film nights have continued and are particulatly
Important In providlng opportunities for sodallsing and strengthening community spirit.
Thanks are extended to the social events subcommittee for organizing fvnd rdising
entertainment.
Cricket has b￿n very active during the summer season hOS￿ng Yelvertoft cricket tlub,
community groups from Rugby, and Houlton cricket dub which brings anallary benefits
of increased hiring of the Hall's facilities for private events. Football also retumed over
the wlnter season.
Throughout the year there have been warious impThements suth as:
provision of new crockery,
installation of wifi and recelpt of exhibltlon stands (both funded by the Parfsh Coundl),
essential Maintenan￿ of the septic tank,
upgrade of the fire safety system,
repair of potholes in the car par
rendering and a new sign applied to a gable end wall,
repair of handrails in the Theatre by the Pond and the biidge into the Pocket Pa￿.
All these a￿ essents'al to maintaining a good quality community facility and they
contributs to an avefage cost of about £56 per day to keep the village Hall running.
We are grateful to the Parish Council for paying the Hall's Insuran￿ and annual play
area safety inspection.
During the year use of the skatepark has dedined. After consulting with residents, and
due to continually increasing costs of maintenan￿, the skatepark has b￿n removed. In
the interim the Sp￿ will be used for ovet11ow car pa￿ing.
Fund r3ising for the play area refurt)ishment tyoject has progressed and about a thlrd of
the potential cost has b￿n raised or pledged so far. The outcome of a grant application
for the remaining costs is awaited and if this is succesdul the new equipment and
surfacing should be completed in the summer.
Through the Northamptonshire Community Foundation I was Invited to meet our MP in
the Houses of Parliament to raise the kind of issues the Hall as a charity faces. This is
intended to lead to further discussions and better inforni our MP of local needs.
The Pocket Park is undergoing regular rnaintenan￿ work and Yelvertoft Environmentsl
Group hosted a succes￿1 wildlife aftemcK)n based In the Theatre and the Pocket Pa
Finallyi thanks a￿ extended to everyone who helps to keep the Hall and outside
facllities running, and to raise funds, and tr> organise events. Everyone is a volunteer of
this important local (harity which serves the whole village communty.
