|during the year|||
|||The Committee were pleased to welcome Dsn Baley asa Member<br>in|
|||December 2022. Itis good tosee new and younger<br>residents<br>taking an|
|||active interest<br>in Village life. Dan has been paricularly<br>helpful<br>in|
|||enhancing<br>the Committees<br>presence on Social Media.|
|||Whilst the UK emerged<br>from the pandemic<br>and bookings<br>did pick up they<br>have now been adversdy<br>alfected by the "costofliving atsis" and there|
|||isa need to generate more income from Rallle Ticket sales, and Pavilion|
|||bookings, especially Weddings<br>which remain the best source ofrevenue|
|||The playing field remains actively used and the playground<br>for younger|
|||children was refurbished<br>last year. Asmall group oflocal parents help the|
|||Committee<br>by reporbng any snagging<br>issues with the Playground<br>which is|
|||also subject toaformal annual<br>inspection.|
|||The Bonfire was successfully<br>reinstated<br>post Covid restrictions<br>for 2021|
|||and 2022.<br>Itis always well attended<br>and isa highlight<br>ofthe Village year.|
|||The Bonfire and Fireworks, since November 2023, are now organised|
|||and run by a separate limited<br>liability company who organise their own|
|||insurance<br>cover.|
|||The Council keeps the local community<br>updated<br>on its acbvities via an|

|||The Councils financial<br>standing<br>remains positive.<br>We ended the financial|
|||year with E21.4k in our savings account and E16.9k in our current<br>account.<br>Plus E10kon deposit. Total f48.5k —which is similar to last year|
|||The Council carries appropriate<br>insurances<br>to cover its risks and during|
|||the course ofthe year our insurances<br>were placed with Hiscox asthe|
|||Scheme with Zurich was terminated<br>by the brokers.<br>Zurich would not|
|||quote on an individual<br>risk basis and searches<br>in the market proved|
|||fruitless.<br>Eventually,<br>CAS, our brokers placed our risk within their new|
|||scheme.|
|||In November 2022 we had a serious vandalism<br>attack when solar panels|
|||were damaged.<br>Our insurance<br>daim against Zurich was met without any<br>problems<br>and we recovered the full costs ofapprox. f10,500.|
|||Our Chair continues to pursue grant opportunities<br>and in February 2023|
|||we received F1000under the warm spaces initiative.|
|||Unfortunately,<br>we'd to submit another insurance<br>daim in August 2023to|
|||our new insurers,<br>Hiscox, in respect ofawater leak. The leak has been|
|||repaired<br>although the cost is not yet known<br>by Hiscox appointed|
|||contractors and Hiscox have also reimbursed<br>our loss ofwater daim at|
|||E1250.|
|||We have had a number of low level vandalism<br>attacks in addition and|
|||have recently installed<br>CCTVssa precautionary<br>measure.|
