## **The Trustees Annual Report.** 

These are some of the main events of the year 

- We received a Tesco Grant for £1000 together with the Dyers Company grant of £500, to help replace and update ageing white goods in our kitchen, fridge, cooker and tea urn. 

- New improvements were made to the garden area with the construction of a permanent hard standing 5m x 11m with artificial grass for the marquee to stand on. 

- A new garage roof fitted to replace the old leaky one and water proofing to the walls to prevent water damage inside the garage. 

- A new glass washer was installed and a new BT router is waiting to be installed. 

- The main hall has had new sound absorbing panels fitted to the walls in order to help try and dampen sound reverberation and noise. 

- Bawming Day was extremely successful for the village and for the first time we were able to utilise the entire fields including the old bowling green for marquees and games. 

However on a rather sad note this maybe the last Bawming event on our field as there are changes afoot for this Years event, where the school will be hosting it. 

- Utility Charges:- 

   - Our fixed contract deal ran out for Electric and Gas in September so this year’s accounts have not been adversely affected but this coming year will see us increase rents to all of our users in order to try to cover the large increases we will have to manage. 

- The Queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations was very well attended, and fun was had by all enjoying the field activities, BBQ and mini beer festival. 



- I would like to welcome the new preschool to the Hall, their impact has been felt immediately and they have made a good impression.  The committee has used some funding from the Bawming committee to provide a new much needed shed in the garden for their use. 

- Septic tank and toilet refurbishment project: - It is not a secret that our toilets and septic systems require refurbishment and especially the septic tank, replacing with a direct connection to the main drains. This is a massive project and we have only just started it in this financial year but hopefully it will come to fruition in the forthcoming year. 

   - Looking ahead to this year the main focus for the Trustees will be 

- to progress the toilet refurbishment and connection to the main sewer 

- to try to keep fuel consumption as low as possible and to try to apportion the costs between the various users and ourselves as fairly as possible 

- to provide a suitable event for the coronation of King Charles and 

- to maintain our financial stability in economic conditions which hopefully will become easier as the year progresses 

That completes the annual review.
