West Horsley Village Hall
Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2021
This has been another unusual year and one which we hope will not be repeated. Coronavirus has continued to disrupt the normal operations of the village hall but limited opening has been viable at various times in the year.
In the playground, more soft “wet pour” material has been replaced around items due to shrinkage of the original areas over the years. However the major work was the replacement of the train by a similar piece of equipment which has proved popular and was readily accepted by the younger users. Our thanks to David Ebdon for keeping an eye on the equipment and doing excellent work replacing some worn-out nuts and bolts which has extended the life of the units affected.
For the second time in as many years our excellent cleaner left, but our cleaning contract company, Glencross Cleaning, has found a reliable replacement and cleanliness of the halls at this time is to a good standard.
Throughout the year financial support has continued to be received from the Government support scheme which Guildford BC has efficiently managed on their behalf. Our end of year accounts showed our finances to be in a stable situation and enables the committee to move forward with confidence. Julia has monitored and reported to the committee on a regular basis the status of the hall bookings using a traffic light table which has been easy to understand. It is always disappointing when we lose clients, but that was inevitable over the extended lockdown. Some hirers are back and the layout of hexagons on the floors of the Main Hall and Cedar Room has given several groups confidence to return and exercise whilst maintaining social distancing. It has meant a considerable investment in Julia's time to maintain the hexagons and it is appreciated. A significant grant of £2,500 from The Joseph Strong Frazer Trust was again received in the Spring, a particularly generous and thoughtful gift.
The grounds continue to be well looked after, hedges and grass tended to regularly and weeding a constant battle. Volunteer Diana Brighton has done sterling work keeping the brambles, hedges and nettles under control in the playground. Judith and Chris Scarlett have kept the planters in the front of the hall in good condition and their voluntary contribution is particularly appreciated. We thank Roger for organising the replacement of the planters wooden sides with a more durable wood structure. The new planters are more substantial and should last many years.
Lastly I thank everyone who gives their time up to be on this committee; this is my last report as Chairman of the Trustees and I sincerely thank you all for your support and positive contributions throughout the past eight years.
