Chairman’s Report Year ending 31[st] March 2022
I propose to spend a little more time than in the past to go through this report. I will leave the new chairman to talk about future plans.
Like with many villages the success of running and updating the facilities depends upon the energy and time provided by volunteers for free.
Thanks.
Over the past years special thanks, Ian B, Libby M and Annie J keeping the bridge days going and Vera Baker Barry for looking after the Lottery. Still need some 25 more punters. He does need some encouragement in using IT Laura Douse was thrown in the deep end with a hard act to follow on from Dandy. She has performed really well. Not an easy task negotiating with the sport’s clubs and trying to find room for outside hirers. Also, her documented instructions have been excellent
Dave Pack for all the painting the new décor colours. We understand that not everyone likes change but…….An excellent decorator
Fergus for his time and effort in keeping the books up to date and invoicing the hirers. He is a delight to work with. Sally for her enormous contribution with décor, gardening, and poo bags for dogs. Keeping the cleaner under control Sandy for being such a great organiser and involved in choosing the new look blinds and décor and for keeping the costs down for all the changes.
Rusty for his timing keeping which has improved since his responsibilities include replacing the new internal and external clock. The external one now, never needs to be adjusted. The old clock will be kept in the heritage society room. Not as valuable as many villagers imagined
Lesley for her organisational skills, clearly an ex-school headmistress.
James Rees for being the best PC representative I can ever remember having. Helps enormously in liaising with our two organisations.
Anthony and Dave T. two Mr Motivators. Have put together a team of grass cutters and gardeners. The grounds have never looked so good.
John W. Mr Fix-It. The great half Dane Always around when something has broken down of needs repairing. For some 10 years. The best negotiator for insurance claims in the history of the universe.
John K. The very best and most professional secretary any organisation could hope for. Worked continuously for 25 years. Was one of the original committee members setting up the
charity and negotiating the sale of the original site, purchasing the new site and raising the necessary funds to build the hall. He was instrumental in getting the Hallmark kite award some 5 years ago.
It is particularly lovely that all the above are also good friends
The trustees have always striven to make improvements to the hall and grounds. Over the past 12 years or so, we have paid out some £90,000 on improvements excluding general maintenance costs.
IT HAS BEN AN INTERESTING YEAR Tractor stollen
Covid effect, closed the hall, reduced paid employees, reduced heating
Meeting with sport’s club representatives. Agreeing a special rate for stool ball club
Reliant on grants, lottery, PC, and insurance. ONLY £1,500 IS GIVEN TO US BY THE PC TO COVER THE INSURANCE, THE REST COMES FROM HIRING CHARGES AND SPECIAL EVENTS MANAGED BY THE TRUSTEES
We have tried over the past to arrange more activities/fund raising events. Youth club organised by Dermott, auction, horse racing
Dishwasher £3.5k
Welcome Anthony and Dave Juliet leaving
Floor cleaner working for the first time in years New. Curtains and decor Clock
The open day was a great success enjoyed by everyone. It was a no brainer. No entry fee, free music.
Regrets I have a few. More storage space, (we do have outline planning approval and also the approval of Cowdray for the siting of a new soak away). all weather sports court; possibly buying some more land from the Cowdray Estate
OK enough. Let’s examine last year’s accounts. Shaikh Accountants for helping with a few corrections to the paperwork.
