CHAIR’S REPORT YEAR 2021 

A difficult year for everyone but the hall managed to come through strongly. 

We put on a number of events to attract people back after all the restrictions ranging from talks on refurbishing a Chateau, Barn Dance, Craft Fair, Carols through the Ages and of course the celebration of 100 years from the start of the hall. All were successful and more importantly all of the user groups came back, some with more members and new users. The hall was  buzzing and that  is our principal objective. 

All groups were applauding the improved decoration and heating/cooling and welcomed the hot water in the toilets. 

Early days but it appears our hopes for lower electricity bills are being met. Insulating the building, installing 14kw of solar panels and installing air conditioning is paying off and with energy cost escalating gives some relief from the increases. 

We also managed some further improvements to the offerings in the hall. A smart screen has been installed in the Aston Room linked to the DVD and amplifier that helps for the computer courses etc. 

We have also installed free Wi-Fi. 

The major move has been the installation of a complete audio/ visual system with a large screen, projector, six high quality speakers  and a PA system. This enables us to show films at a low cost(we have to have a licence) and was done with the help of a grant from the COOP foundation and support from Andrew Eade. The Covid concerns has delayed our first public showing but a trial with a film on Dinosaurs was so good that a number of the audience were concerned that the animals were real! 

We also purchased a Pop up Stage that has been used a number of times. We have also installed more stage lighting that gives a number of options on colour and intensity. 

My thanks to all who have helped with the work and who continue to support our effort to provide a great community facility.

24 St Stephens Way Selly Oak Birmingham 

14[th] January 2022. 

To The Management Committee Church & Chetwynd Aston Village Hall Wallshead Way Church Aston Newport 

I Kasia Niedzelska confirm that I have audited the books of the hall for the year ending on 31[st] December 2021 and here are my findings. 

1. The accounts are presented in a regulatory format and are easy to understand. 2. All payments are annotated with either a payment reference number or the cheque number and the date that the item was issued. This has been checked back against bank statements and cheque book stubs to confirm a match. 

3. All credits have been recorded correctly both in paper format and through an excel spreadsheet. 

4. All end of year balances match the appropriate bank statements. 

In my opinion the figures stated are a true reflection of the income and expenditure that the hall has received and paid for this financial year. 

You have done very well to have kept operational and the hall looks so good from the photo’s I have seen. Good luck for 2022. 

Kasia
