MSGCA AGM 17[th] February 2024 Chairmans report…………………..

It has been a great year for getting things done.

We started at the beginning with a new CCTV camera installed which was to keep an ‘eye’ on the outdoor gym arena. This followed by the gym installation which had an opening event on 29[th] April where some 60 people attended and opened by the Mayor Councillor Anne Maria Curry. We had a grant from University of Teesside to enable a couple of professional trainers to be onsite to show people how to use the equipment. This lasted for some 6 weeks afterwards with people turning up twice a week for a one to one session.

And….judging by the majority of our village folk, has been well used and well received. The footpaths and gym workout area installed by John Wade with a grant

provided by Bankes Moore House Windfarms.

A couple of weeks prior we had some benches made from recycled milk bottle tops installed along with flower pot bases, just to brighten up the grounds for those using in the summer.

A rockery was donated by Albert Wade with plants from funds kindly donated by Mr & Mrs Phil Goldsborough. Flowers planted with love and kindness by two of our trustees, Deborah and Anna. They chose the plants and planted them.

During August and September work on the new car park started, earth removal, levelling off, loads of stones for foundations and overseen by Whartons Construction and the hard work done by Ashcourt Construction.

A new community car park. And it is a brilliant much bigger car park, so much

better than the potholes before! I am sure you all agree.

Our Events Team, Marion and Maria had a cracking year arranging events with an organised litter pick on 8[th] April. We had on the 20th August our Summer Fayre (around 700 people attended). Characters like Woody from Toy Story and Elsa from Frozen. A Fancy-Dress competition was held, we had some 30 odd stall holders, including the Nursery with Lesley running a creche’. This event was attended by the Mayor Councillor Jan Cossins and Joy Allen our PCC.

Brilliant day and the weather being kind to us, nice & sunny.

The next event Maria and Marion put on was the Magic & Sparkle event in November (lots of new characters). Balloon Magician, Father Christmas, (thanks to Alex and his Elf Angela) Craft session by the MSG Nursery. Stilt walkers

Magic Fairies and Christmas Elves, with great singing by 3 different professional organisations along with dance demonstrations. Salvation Army provided brass band Christmas cheer. Again, another super event organised by them both. And the grand finale with last month the January Pantomime. Robin Hood. All very well attended with many, many lovely comments and emails praising the trustees and volunteers with all their help to make it happen.

My thanks to you all but especially Marion and Maria.

Meet & Eat continues to flourish, started in 2020 which was a free meal and get together programme to get people out of their homes to meet each other. (following Covid) It has been growing ever since with the December Christmas event held here for 68 people and then January with fish n chips for

62 people. All free and a popular event for so many.

We held a Car Boot Fair which in itself raised over 100 pounds.

2 free (sponsored) events we started last year one is called CAGS (Community Activity Groups) this allows for 2 hours each week the main hall to be used for an art group, with spaces for knitting , sewing and a space for one other group to attend. And then on a Thursday, late afternoon, an exercise group for up to 12 children run by Sean O’Connell from Move More (Turn to Sport).

That just about wraps my Chairmans report up but for me to say that without our trustees, Angela, Marion, Maria, Deborah and Anna it could not have been done without you!

My thanks also to those wonderful volunteers,

Peter, Lyndsay, Louise, her sister Valerie, Sonja, not only a great collector of donations but a keen leaflet deliverer, Connie, good at buttering bread, Yvonne (she also donated the DVD’s) Lesley and her Nursery staff.

A special mention to Susan as almost every day she is out litter picking. She and many other of our members do this quietly and without fuss. So, my thanks to you Susan and all those of you trying to keep our village clean.

Lastly, without the help of Londis with their Pantomime sponsorship, keeper of the keys for this centre, our appreciation of everything you do, Andrew with Janet and his team, a BIG thanks.
