## **GREAT BEDWYN PLAYINGFIELD AND VILLAGE Hall** Charity number 305520
## **Objectives and Activities**

Hire of the hall is open to residents and non-residents with the residents having preferential rates. Regular bookings currently include Mobility Group, WI, Pilates, History Society, Bedwyn Cinema and Quiz Nights.
## **Achievements and Performance**
Since the last AGM on 5th July, a great deal has occurred. The construction of the Legion room got underway in August, all went quite smoothly and came in on budget. The room was first used for a meeting in November, and we are very proud of what we have achieved, and we have no doubt that it will serve the community well for many years to come.
At the December2023 meeting Rob Braybrooke announced his decision to stand down from his role forthwith, and is very grateful to Karina Nicholson for stepping into the role of Chair, and all that goes with it.
With the aid of community fund raising the drain from Wendy's community café was repaired. We do believe that this matter has raised our profile in that many residents are now more aware of the cafe, and the fact that it and the Memorial Field are owned by the
Trust and the community. The last phase of the work at the Village Hall which is the landscaping and re-seeding of the area between the hall and Frog Lane was completed in August 2024
## **Financial Review**
The bank balance as of 31st March 2023 was £46,589.51
