The other Trustees are appointed as representatives of the Users of the Hall. Tony Raymond is an Organisation Representative who may occasionally attend Committee Meetings but has declined to become a Trustee so he does not have a vote.

David Bell our Treasurer, who is self-employed, has kept books and records during the year from which the accounts have been prepared. Honoraria has been paid to the Honorary Members of our Committee, as detailed on page 3, as a token of our appreciation of their continued support during the year.
The Bankers are Lloyds Bank Plc, Taunton.
The object of the Charity is the provision and maintenance of a Village Hall for the use of the inhabitants of the parish of West Monkton with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants. The aim of the Committee is to provide first class facilities at an affordable cost. The Charity continues to work for the public good and provide facilities for a diverse range of activities and organisations. Activities include:- Pilates and fitness classes, Badminton, Drama, Circus Skills and Table Tennis. Organisations include WI, Brownies, Photography Group, Hardy Plant Society, SW Orchids, Model Railway, Art Group, Model Trams.
We had a slow start to the year but with the new booking system in place since January 2023 we have seen an increase in local bookings for birthday parties and baby showers all helping to turn into surplus.
The financial year ended with the Receipts and Payments Account for the year showing a operating cash surplus of £8626 compared to deficit of £4027 in the previous year as follows:-

OF WEST MONKTON VILLAGE HALL
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 5 to 11.
