Also thanks to Stuart and Alan from musical society who kindly supplied and laid floor in store rooms and solved damp issues. We continue to thrive with a full diary of new groups hiring hall and lots of children's parties. Everyone who visits comment on how nice the building is and that's due to all hard work of the volunteers and Jane our cleaner. We would love to welcome new members to committee to continue with providing a facility for local people. Brian Gilberthorpe ## **CHAIRPERSONS REPORT** Welcome and Good morning everyone and thank you all for attending today's A.G.M The last three to four years have been very trying but thanks to hard work from all our members of the committee we are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. However this has come at a high price for some of our older members who have had to retire from the committee. Although they were a great loss we were fortunate in the new younger element to the committee. They came with many bright new ideas for fundraising and willing to work hard to see their projects to completion, with the blend of the older members and the new ideas of the younger element. I would like to thank all the committee and look forward to a bright future for Walkerville Community Centre. Bob Young ## **MINUTE SECRETARYS REPORT** In this, my second year of being committee minute secretary, I’m pleased to report another active, successful year for the committee. We’ve held eleven meetings, since the last AGM, which have all been well-attended and productive. Several community events have been organized and held voluntarily. These have included table-top fairs with children’s activities and quiz nights. I’m especially proud of all the regular groups and of the support of the wider community, pulling together and helping us fundraise for an AED device for the centre. This will be fitted soon. Thanks to Claire Dosdale for having such a great idea, as this will literally save lives in Walkerville. I believe the centre is thriving and going from strength to strength, but we are always looking for new volunteers, so if anyone wants to get involved just let us know. It’s great to be part of such a fantastic team. Thank you. Jenni Roughhead **TREASURERS REPORT** Another year has gone by and we find ourselves in a much more financially secure position. Our centre is probably the busiest it’s ever been and, even though we’ve spent money on making the building more secure in the form of a new CCTV system, we’ve still managed to increase our banked funds by nearly 50%. This includes the contributions made to our fund raising efforts to buy a Defibrillator to mount on the exterior of the building for the local community’s use. Thank you again for your support and let’s hope the coming year will be just as good.
