2. Minutes of the AGM of 20[th] November 2021
Alan Chantry proposed that they be accepted as a true and accurate record. Seconded by Nicky Clarkson.
3. Matters Arising
Nicky Clarkson reported continued problems with our current bankers – Barclays – their list of signatories is out of date. The local branch of Barclays has now closed. We may look to change banks.
4. Chairman’s Report
Welcome to our Trustees 2022 AGM. Generally, I can report that overall, we have had another good year, recovering well after Covid. Some of our groups using the hall have said that they have lost some of their members but continue to successfully run their classes.
Many of the users report satisfaction with the hall and how pleasing it is to see changes and enhancements made to the hall. This has not been achieved without the help of my fellow committee members and I would like to express my thanks to them for their help.
John Clarkson was recently taken ill and our thoughts are with him and Nicky.
The ladies of Lee Street have continued looking after the plants and tubs outside the entrance, and we thank them for that.
Also, many thanks to Lisa, Jake’s wife, for her help earlier in the year looking after the parties.

5. Financial Report
INCOME
The 2021/2022 financial year has shown a very healthy income stream for the hall. This was helped to a certain degree by the very welcome donation of £10,500 from Conoco/Phillips and also by the final instalment of £2,667 ELDC Covid Grant. The greater proportion of total income, however, came from our regular hall users because, for the first time since 2020, the hall was open and available to hire all year round. This showed that the hall can be run at a sustainable level, even without the support from grants or donations from third parties.
This sustainability has recently allowed us a little more flexibility in our booking regime and we now no longer need to let the hall for party bookings, thus cutting out a major nuisance factor and reducing admin time with minimal loss of income.
We have lost only one regular hall user, the Sunday Spiritual Group, who returned to their own centre in the summer as planned. Also, there was no panto this year, but we look forward to the next production in January 2023.
Total income for the year: £30,606.29
EXPENDITURE
Total outgoings were up on last year as we accelerated the upkeep and refurbishment of the hall and began some modernisation in the form of a new ventilation system. There is now a new category in the expenditure account, which shows new equipment separately from maintenance and repairs.
| Major outgoings this year included: | |
|---|---|
| Window blinds from Ashley Blinds: | £2,342 |
| Ceiling fans installed by GRS: | £1,480 |
| Decoration of the ceiling by A Smith: | £1,620 |
| Outside maintenance by M Hargreaves: | £1,750 |
Purchases approved but not cashed before 31st October 2022: Trolley and tables: £745 Defibrillator: £1,490
Several other small purchases were made, including a selection of yoga equipment, new hand dryers and accessories for the toilets, a new AYSCOUGH HALL sign for the front, additional electrical sockets and the usual voucher for the flower lady.
Total outgoings for the year: £12,736.82
More financial detail is included in Appendix A & B
Ron Thomas thanked Nicky Clarkson for the excellent way the accounts were presented and for performing the Treasurer’s duties so efficiently.

6. Adoption
Gail Brocklesby proposed that the Chairman’s and the Financial Reports be adopted. This was seconded by Alan Chantry.
7. Election of Trustees
All Trustees resigned. The 5 Trustees present offered themselves for re-election. Jacob Tomlinson and John Clarkson had previously confirmed their willingness to continue as Trustees. All 7 were then re-elected by a proposal from Stephanie Fox, this was seconded by Pam Holmes.
8. Any Other Business
The guttering is overflowing and/or leaking in several places. This was installed by DNN roofing in 2020. Several attempts to get the faults rectified by them have been unsuccessful. This will be taken at the next committee meeting.
The Chairman closed the meeting at 5.45pm.
