Minutes of the last AGM were agreed and there were no matters arising Chair's Report The Hall continues to be well supported by all ofthe regular groups. Thank you to Playgroup, Willoughby school, WOW Breakfast, PiLates, Keep Fit, Yoga and Boot Camp. We also have a new wrap around school care group who joined us in September 2023. They are still in the early stages with low numbers but are thinking ahead to the future. We wish them every success. We replaced the old oil heating system in the summer to EHS Energy Saver Heat Pumps. These can be run by an app or operated manually, and we have found this to be very effective. This was made possible from a Grant from EMA for £1 Ok and a very kind donation from the estate of Rita Holt of £5K We have just successfully applied for a Grant from British Gypsum for £1 k to install a Perspex roof in the back yard to enable the playgroup/wraparound care children to have wet weather play. Our Fundraiser'Burns Night, in January 2024 was a great success and we raised over £1100 forViLLage Hall funds. Thank you as always to Mandy Jones who keeps the hall clean and tidy and to Mike Jones for the ongoing maintenance. Caroline Marlow
