Chair Report AGM - June 25
Aston on Trent War Memorial Hall
Thank you for attending our AGM tonight, it only seems like 5 minutes ago we were last here.
It has been another busy year at the hall, the booking system is working well and the hall is pretty much full all week with regular bookings and party bookings at weekends. I would like to thank the committee for giving up their time to ensure that the hall is a wonderful space for everyone that uses it.
I would also like to say a special thank you to Michelle Gascoigne our treasurer for all her hard work and to Philippa for being such a great secretary.
Roger has settled well into his role and continues to work hard cleaning and maintaining not only the Memorial Hall but down at the Rec Centre as well. Thank you Roger.
I would also like to say thank you to everyone that hires the hall, especially our regular users for keeping the hall clean and tidy and for looking after it so well.
We have continued to maintain the hall and made some positive changes, new LED lights in the foyer and toilets, which hopefully over time will save us some money. Decorating of the Foyer and Meeting room - thanks to Roger and more painting to come hopefully in the summer to paint the old hall.
I always feel you should always have a goal to strive for each year, and my hopes for the hall as I stand down as chair, are for sound panels to be installed into the new hall, new front doors and fire doors in the old hall, new blinds for the new hall, more decorating and to make the outside space more useable and safe for our groups with children, scouts, cubs, beavers, brownies and of course Preschool so they can use the garden all year round.
Not only am I standing down as chair of the Memorial Hall, I am also leaving Preschool in the summer. In my eyes, the hall and Preschool go hand in hand and it has been an absolute pleasure to help look after this hall and I can leave knowing the hall and Preschool are going to go from strength to strength and will both continue to prosper over the coming years.
Thank you for having me and I will, of course, continue doing everything I can until we find a replacement to help with bookings and make sure a smooth handover is completed when the time comes.
Best Wishes Debbie x
