Chairman’s Report 2025 - Signed as a true record

CHAIRMANS REPORT

“Firstly I’d like to thank everyone for attending tonight’s meeting, and for your interest and support of our village hall. I must apologise for the delay in calling this years AGM, I do appreciate this has meant some of you shifting dates around. Unfortunately this was due to circumstances beyond our control, but thank you for your understanding.

2024 - A year that as a team we will not look back on with the fondest of memories. Many of you will be aware that we lost a very much loved member of our team in October, Judy Nestor. Judy was with us from day one. It’s hard to put into words to do this lady justice, suffice to say she was such fun to work with, her knowledge knew no bounds, she was very hard working, respected by all who knew her, she volunteered with us as both a Trustee, and part of the Management Committee, assisting with the running of the 200 Club (which she initially instigated), coordinating the quiz nights along with her husband Michael, and everything and anything else asked of her. Above all of this she was a lovely person and a trusted friend.

Going forward, things appear to be positive, going by the accounts the bookings have increased, albeit slightly and according to Mike Osbourne, who has done a rough estimate of last years footfall, & come up with a figure of circa 10,000 people through our doors. Not bad for a village hall !! What it does show is how important & vital this facility is to the community

As always, we have been supported by our Parish Council awarding us grants which has enabled us to do the following:

None of the above would have been possible without the funding from the Parish Council. On behalf of both the PCA and regular users of the hall, we would like to express our sincere appreciation.

Our regular users continue to support us and our relationship with Polesworth Group Homes continues to thrive. So much so, we agreed to share the cost to refurbish the exterior of the Annexe, to enhance the approach to the hall and surrounding area. They continue to book the hall for training and teaching for their service users and also for training sessions for the PGH staff.

Play & Explore Group, runs Mondays-Fridays 8:30-12-30 term time only. This group continues to grow in numbers (up to 60 one week) and has become a valuable asset to young parents, carers, grandparents. They are self funding, and run by volunteers. Feedback is very positive.

JAG , I believe has 2-3 weddings booked this year. Alongside weekend bookings for various parties etc.

The Bagpipes group has booked their annual get together in hall for a full weekend.

All in all the future bookings look fairly buoyant.”

Auditors Report

Accounts for 2025 circulated at the meeting.

Chairman went through accounts, stating funds were up by £4000. Football hire was up by £1000.

Grants received from PCC and NWBC.

Expenditure - repairs were up from £8500 to £12000. These included maintenance of the Annexe, new side gate and electrical upgrades.

Restricted funds were explained as £1609 from when Polesworth Society closed.

Discussion took place around various aspects of the accounts.

Management Committee Update

LW reported the following. The 200 club is still going strong, and is now in its 17th year. This fundraising leg of the hall helps to fund our now ‘annual and expected’ children’s & OAPs parties. These events are always well attended and sometimes over subscribed but we do our very best to ensure those who apply get a place allocated. Not only does the lottery form a large part of our fundraising efforts, but it also keeps us connected to the community with the weekly winners and updates, but also via our quarterly newsletter.

There are currently three numbers available. We currently have two quizzes and the two parties to prepare for.

Need to push for more volunteers both for events and Management Ctte.

Elections of Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Trustees

As mentioned earlier, the loss of Judy also meant the loss of a Trustee. As our Constitution suggests six Trustees, Lyn & Dave Welding volunteered to add to their already existing commitment to the hall by applying to become Trustees. They have both been a valuable part of the Management Committee for many years, always actively supporting the hall and often going above and beyond with their ‘behind the scenes’ activities. After consulting with the appropriate parties (CISWO, NUM, Trustees) the necessary paperwork has been completed and received back from these agencies. This meeting is therefore their first official meeting in their new roles. Welcome aboard both.

Annual elections then took place.
