Review of the Year
Many thanks, of course to all committee members and volunteers of Bishopswood Village Hall for their continued dedication and hard work throughout what turned out to be a most unusual year.
Although the hall continued to be well used by the community – with Zumba, Pilates and dance classes etc., provided by and attended by many local inhabitants – things came to an abrupt halt in March 2020 with Covid 19. The private events, including wedding receptions, birthday parties, and anniversary celebrations were cancelled, and deposits returned.
The quarterly Community Lunches, which provide a valuable opportunity for local people to socialise, meet up with friends and make new acquaintances were cancelled along with the annual Duck race and other well-loved events.
The hall was closed. The committee took the decision to keep on the selfemployed cleaner, this was made possible by the various local authority grants that were issued over the months the hall was closed. It transpired to be an excellent decision as, when allowed briefly – the hall was able to re-open with minimum preparation needed. A few of the regular hirers were able to re-open their classes for a short while, and indeed we gained a new class – ‘Kettlersize’ – which proved extremely popular. These grants also enabled us to protect our reserve funds.
Essential maintenance has continued throughout lockdown – the various risk assessments have been completed and special Covid conditions of hire prepared and circulated all hirers. The hall can be considered ‘Covid safe’ with all necessary precautions in place.
We look forward to opening our doors again to the community in 2021.
