|---|---|---|
| achievements | ofthe charity | Committee atthe AGM and her resignation has now been received. |
| during the year | ||
| The Committee were pleased to welcome Dsn Baley asa Member in |
||
| December 2022. Itis good tosee new and younger residents taking an |
||
| active interest in Village life. Dan has been paricularly helpful in |
||
| enhancing the Committees presence on Social Media. |
||
| Whilst the UK emerged from the pandemic and bookings did pick up they have now been adversdy alfected by the "costofliving atsis" and there |
||
| isa need to generate more income from Rallle Ticket sales, and Pavilion | ||
| bookings, especially Weddings which remain the best source ofrevenue |
||
| The playing field remains actively used and the playground for younger |
||
| children was refurbished last year. Asmall group oflocal parents help the |
||
| Committee by reporbng any snagging issues with the Playground which is |
||
| also subject toaformal annual inspection. |
||
| The Bonfire was successfully reinstated post Covid restrictions for 2021 |
||
| and 2022. Itis always well attended and isa highlight ofthe Village year. |
||
| The Bonfire and Fireworks, since November 2023, are now organised | ||
| and run by a separate limited liability company who organise their own |
||
| insurance cover. |
||
| The Council keeps the local community updated on its acbvities via an |
||
| insert in the monthly Parish Magazine. |
||
| The Councils financial standing remains positive. We ended the financial |
||
| year with E21.4k in our savings account and E16.9k in our current account. Plus E10kon deposit. Total f48.5k —which is similar to last year |
||
| The Council carries appropriate insurances to cover its risks and during |
||
| the course ofthe year our insurances were placed with Hiscox asthe |
||
| Scheme with Zurich was terminated by the brokers. Zurich would not |
||
| quote on an individual risk basis and searches in the market proved |
||
| fruitless. Eventually, CAS, our brokers placed our risk within their new |
||
| scheme. | ||
| In November 2022 we had a serious vandalism attack when solar panels |
||
| were damaged. Our insurance daim against Zurich was met without any problems and we recovered the full costs ofapprox. f10,500. |
||
| Our Chair continues to pursue grant opportunities and in February 2023 |
||
| we received F1000under the warm spaces initiative. | ||
| Unfortunately, we'd to submit another insurance daim in August 2023to |
||
| our new insurers, Hiscox, in respect ofawater leak. The leak has been |
||
| repaired although the cost is not yet known by Hiscox appointed |
||
| contractors and Hiscox have also reimbursed our loss ofwater daim at |
||
| E1250. | ||
| We have had a number of low level vandalism attacks in addition and |
||
| have recently installed CCTVssa precautionary measure. |
