This was a year of stability and looking forward to how the JH could attract 'new custom,
raise some much needed funds and survive.
As in 2022, luckily the committee, and in particular, Cynthia, (Tasu r) We able to apply
for local and national grants to help with the financing of the hall and pay for essential
maintenance that was required to keep the JH open for business. Vlfjthout these grants
and financial support that they bring, the Jubilee Hall would not have survived this period
of time and with some careful management of the finances by our Treasurer, we were able
to keep our 'heads above water, for another year.Thank you again Cynthia.
This report basically looks back at 2023, as to what we've needed to do, what we've done,
what still needs to be done and where we go from here.
It was agreed that this was a time, as in 2022, that could be used to repair, improve or
maintain essents'al areas of the JH but, we, the committee, still recognised and understood
that we could not implement any of the costly upgrades and improvements to the hall as
there were financial constraints that had to be adhered to and therefore we could only
prioritise what needed to be done in order of necessity and affordability.
The hall continues to be maintained and decorated both inside and out and we must thank
V*layne Sisson for doing such a great job - it looks a lot better than it did but there is still
more to do, Thank you vyne.
(1) GdLEatk
Again, Improvements have been made to the car park., a few pot holes had been gouged
up by the Blakemore's vehicles continual use of the car park to access the rear of the Spar
shop and another 'trough' had developed. on again, this has now been rectified by
Wayne Sisson. The bollards have been re -fixed and a new section of tarmac aligns the
pavement, Again Thank you Wayne for overseeing these improvements.
(2) Mall
All other 'improvement projects, and general maintenance issues which were due to be
carried out in the hall for 2023 were carefully assessed and given the appropriate priority.
Energy efficient LED lights that We fitted in the corridor and toilets adjacent to the main
hall in 2022 were also fitted upstairs in areas with the Angel room - enabling better control
of the electricity used within the JH.
(a) There was an increase of 'bookings' and events held in the JH during 2023 and the
monthly Music Events and Film Nights were back in full flow and these proved to be
an essential part of keeping the JH afloat.
(4) Rat
(a) There must be a big 'Thank You, to Kim Sisson, our bar managerllicensee and
husband Wayne for the excellent work in the bar and their supervision the bar and JH
for the events held in 2023. Together, with the help of the rota bar staff, they continue
to maintain the high standard they set for the bar and its facilities. It has been
transformed from what it On was.
(b) The bar seNers area has been considerably improved and upgraded with the
introduction o new beer pumps, air conditioning and a new range of goods to offer -
again well done Kim and Wayne and your staff - excellent service given to the users
throughout 2023.
(a) There were no staffing issues of note during this period. I take this opportunity to
thank all the ancillary staff, the cleaners support staff for keeping the JH in a
presentable state for the users.

{a) The Treasurer, Cynthia Heath, will outline in more detail in her report, last year's
expenditure and any known additional costs we are facing in the next 12 months.
{a} A small increase in the rates to the hire of the hall for the main room and the 'Angel
Room,, in line with the requests of the users at the last AGM, has been
implemented and will be outlined in more detail by the Treasurer in her report.
Our future plans remain the same as last year and there are a number of projects and
improvements to the hall that have been discussed by the Executive Committee and are
currently being considered for future implementation depending on funds available and
any other grants that we may apply for. These include fitting new toilet cubicles and new
flooring in the toilets and new windows to the Angel room, stairs and landing areas at
either end. We are actively seeking grants to assist with financing these projects and Anne
Holmes and Angus Parker are working together to try and make this happen.
We are also currently in the final development stages of upgrading our website and with
the help and expertise of Committee member Mike Kay who has designed and developed
the new website, it should have it up and running in the very very soon. Thank you Mike.
However, on behalf of the Committee, the JH users and the community of Brewood as a
whole, I would like to say a 'very special thank you, to a very special person, our departing
Treasurer. Cynthia Heath, for all the work she has done as Treasurer over her time on the
JH committee. Over 13 years loyal service and although there is an annual honorarium
that goes with the role, Cynthia chose not to receive it - preferring to leave it in the JH bank
account every year.
Without Cynthia's true dedication to the role, her persistence and perseverance when
dealing with Utility company's in re-negotiating our terms - without the time Cynthia spent
on the telephone and on line - we would be paying a lot more for our Gas and Electricity -
and we were also thankful with the way she kept a 'tight hold, on the purse strings,
banking funds, paying bills, keeping everything up to date with SAGE. Without any of this
hard work and dedication, the Jubilee Hall would not have survived all this time and would
have 'gone under 'many years ago if not for Cynthia - a true friend of the JH.
As I have staled previously, the Treasurer's job is time consuming and very often
thankless task at times. Thank you once again Cynthia for doing a great job, you are going
to be sorely missed and you will be difficult to replace. Vve wish you 'all the best, for the
future after 'retiring' from the role of Treasurer of the BVCCIJH - but please don't forget to
come back and see us when you can.
We are still actively looking for a replacement Treasurer. However, in the short term, Kim
Sisson, who has worked closely with the treasurer over many years, has agreed to take on
the role of Treasurer and with some guidance and support from Cynthia is currently
actively undertaking that role.
I would like to formally thank all the Officers, the Executive Committee, the affiliated and
regular users and our Jubilee Hall staff, for all the hard work and continued support they
have given over these past 12 months and it is hoped it continues into 2024. It is very
much valued and appreciated.
We the BVCC - thank you all.
