Aims and Purposes
The East Knoyle Parish CounciL own the Village Hall buildings and site. but the East Knoyle
Village Hall Committee ("the Committee") administers it through the East KnoyLe VilLage
Hall charity. The charity was established through a Deed of Gift.
The Committee manage the Hall for the use of the inhabitants of East Knoyle and
surrounding area. This is undertaken without distinction of political, religFous or other
opinions, including use for meetings, lectures and classes, and for other forms of
recreation and leisure occupations that help to improve the conditions of life in the
community.
The Committee's purpose is to carry out any other activities that further these objectives.
In addition, they are required to purchase, take on Lease, hire or otherNise acquire any
property or rights, which are suitable or required for the EKVHC'S activities. The
Committee is required to ensure insurance of alLkrnds is in place and to employorengage
staff as considered appropriate for the proper conduct of EKVHC'S activities. The
Committee also has the responsibility to liaise with other voluntary sector bodies. local
authorities. UK government departments and agencies, and other bodies, with a view to
furthering EKVHC'S objectives. In order that the Hall remains viable the Committee are
Tequired to take such steps as may be deemed appropriate for raising funds for EWHC'S
activities and to communicate with the residents of the Village. promoting the use of the
Hall, maintaining and improving the condition of the Hall alongwith its contents.

Achievements and Performance

A major effort was made to understand the revenues/overheads of the bustness.
The Treasurer's role was transferred from James Doherty to Paul Egginton and the
Committee wi5he5 to extend its gratitude to James for his work over the last few
years. As a result of the work carried out by James and Paul it was clear to the
committee that the hourLy rental of the hall had to be tncreased. AIL user groups
were advised of the changes and despite some resistance to the increase it was
generally recognised by all users that the overheads required such a rtse, The new
rates were instigated from December 1 st.

vi)
Thevillage Flower & Vegetable show was hosted at the HaLI in - August last
year and was a great success. The Committee provided the tea and cakes
in the marquee on the lawn, which was a good fundraising event.
The 200 Club continues to raise funds to help with the maintenance and
development of the facilities forthe ViLlage Hall (and without them, the Hall
finances would struggle) not sure we need to say that. The Committee is
extremely grateful to the organisers of the 200 Club.
The Committee with the help of Martin Brown and Kevin Stow and their
volunteers organised two very successful qurz nights with supper this
winter, one was a general quiz while the other 8 mu3icaL quiz, each was a
compLete seLI out. Both quiz nights raised nearly £1,700.
John Scattergood helped by Paul Egginton and their team of helpers
organised avery successful Art Exhibition & Sale in the Hall which included
24 Artists from East Knoyle, raising over 27.000 for the hall's funds.

Our thanks go to Wren's Shop for their generous donation of £1,500 early in
the financial year.
The Chairperson would like to thank everyone who helped raise funds and enjoyed
using the Hall as well as the Offi￿rS & Committee members who gave up their time
to make this year more successful.
Plans for 2025 - 2026
a) Our vision is for the Village Hall to continue to prosper, offering a wide range of
facilities to meet the expectations and demand of the hirers and offering a place
where all of the Village can- congregate and use the facilities. This Annual Report
shows that a lot has been achieved over the last few years and the financial
position of the Hall is much improved.
b) The Village Flower and Vegetable show will take place again this summer, the
Committee have been asked to provide the teas and refreshments again.
c) Two quiz nights are planned to take place, the General Quiz in the Autumn and the
Music Quiz in February nextyear, they are very popular and enable the Village HalL
to plan further improvements.
d} The Committee wilL look for other fundraising ideas- in order to continue the on-
going repairs and development of facilities forthe haLL.

iv)
Risks
The principal risk for the Village Hall is a drop off of rental bookings that mean a reduction
in the primary source of regular income. Thiswould mean using up reserves. The Trustees
have worked to mitigate this risk by ensuring a broad r8nge of regular users of the HaLI,
and seeking 8lternative income sources. including fundraising.
Flnancial PosFtion
Forthe first time in the current committee's history and forseveralyears prior, the income
generated through the bookings exceeded expenditure.
It is the wish of the Committee and the Treasurer to maintain a balance on unrestricted
funds available to meet routine expendÉtures and payments to smooth out fluctuations in
cash flow and be available to meet emergencies. This has been set at 28.000
Governance
The constFtution of the Committee is comprised of those elected at the Annual General
Meeting, i.e. representatives of the VilLage. co-opted and those nominated by user groups
in the Deed of Gift called 'organisations'. User groups are defined as any organisation or
group of people who regularly use the Hall. Members of the East Knoyle Village Hall
Committee {EKVHC} must be resident in the Parish of East KnoyLe and over 18 years old.
mmitt
The Village Hall Committee met every two months during the year, with a lively agenda to
discuss the Village Hall finances and progress on its business plan for the year. It is a
small Committee led by our Chairperson. The Committee endeavours to make
improvements to the Village H8LI while managing the budget prudently on behalf of the
Parish Council.
