## _**Principal Objective**_ 

_The  object  of  the  charity  is  to  provide  a  village  hall  for  use  of  the inhabitants of Bishopswood and the surrounding neighbourhood; for the use of meetings, lectures, classes and for other forms of recreation, with the aim of improving their quality of life. The governing document of the charity is a trust deed._ 

## _**AGM reporting**_ 

_Our financial period runs from August to August. This is therefore a report on August 2021 – August 2022_ 

_Although most lockdown restrictions were lifted by July 2020 – it still affects the way people live and socialise.  Regular hires are back to their pre-pandemic levels – but I believe we are still seeing the effects on our private hires.  These remain low.  It seems that with the cost-of-living crises coming so close behind the pandemic people’s priorities have changed.  We are not seeing as many private parties booked at the hall._ 

_For example – from August 2019 to March 2020 (the 7 months up to lockdown) we had_ _**38** private bookings (we had to cancel 16 after March 2020)._ 

_But from August 2021 – August 2022 (a full 12 months) we had just_ _**24** private hires._ 

_We are not alone in this.  People I have spoken to who are also involved with Village Halls are reporting the same thing._ 

_We are constantly trying to balance lower bookings while our own costs are increasing.  An interesting and somewhat complicated business for our Trustees._ 

_But the hall does continue to play an important part in the community – providing opportunities to keep fit, pursue artistic ambitions amongst other things and - most importantly - socialise, maybe over a cup of something hot or a meal._ 

_On a personal note, as I step down from the committee – I really appreciate the hard work that you as a Committee of Trustees and our Volunteers do to keep the hall running, vibrant and relevant.  I’m sure I am not alone in this._ 

_Specifically - I would like to thank Jon for his unwavering support as Vice Chair and also acknowledge the huge amount of work he undertakes as our Treasurer, Bob for maintaining our online presence and the growing ‘Friends’ group, Barry, for the ongoing maintenance (helped occasionally by Bob and, more recently Derek).  Sandra as Secretary – keeping up with_ 



_minuting the meetings and maintaining the Operations Calendar, and Marcia who – although not a Trustee has again been our very organised and extremely patient bookings clerk.  Lou is also stepping down today – thank you for the lovely flower centre pieces for the tables – I hope you will continue with them._ 

_To the committee as a whole – thank you for your hard work, and support. I hope to keep volunteering and offering my support as a ‘Friend’ whenever possible._
