Bottesford VC Hall Chair report for 2024

I am delighted to present this report for the calendar year 2024.

Over this last year the management team has made further efforts to improve the hall, building on the improvements in previous years. The major works undertaken include:

Replaced Bollards outside of main door
Replacement of the main entry doors
Replacement of fencing between the hall and neighbouring property
Redecoration of main hall and foyer

John and Emma have also overseen numerous other maintenance tasks all of which combine to keep the hall looking good and being the asset to the local community that it should be.

Over the year the overall level of bookings has remained more or less consistent while our income has also largely remained the same as the preceding year. Our Treasurer has provided a financial report and independently audited accounts which show more detail. Additionally we were very fortunate to receive an award from the Post Code Lottery, some of this we have used to support local groups like the Bottesford Repair Café some of it will be used to maintain the hall.

Overall the hall is in a sound state financially and physically but we must not be complacent and as a committee we need to ensure that our income keeps pace with ever increasing costs and to also keep on top of any maintenance and repairs over the next year.

Personally and on behalf of the Committee I would like to thank Emma Hall (Hall Manager), John Stapleton (Hall Caretaker), Dawn O’Grady (Treasurer) and Libby Kingsley (Secretary) for the significant contribution they have made to the VC Hall’s success over this last year. I would also like to thank all Trustees for their help and support.

One final comment; this report along with financial statements will be forwarded to the Charity Commission in line with their regulations. It is therefore important that any errors or omissions are corrected so do please let me know if you notice any.

Thank you.

Glenn Needham

Chair of the Management Committee.
