Lapworth Village Hall Management Committee Chairman's Annual Report for the year June 2023- 2024 This year has been another busy time with bookings still at a high level and some new customers, who have regular meetings joining us. Again, we have spent considerable funds on improvements. Namely a new sound and projector system, which after a few early teething problems now appears to be a great improvement as well as a great benefit to our regular and one-off customers. We are very grateful to the Local Parish Council for a grant of £9.500 which is a great help towards these costs. The flat roof above the committee rooms has been repaired. various electrical inspections have taken place and relevant certificates provided. Our next major project will be the refurbishment of the toilets at the front of the hall. A couple of very successful community events were held during the summer, The Greatest Showman evening and the ever popular Scarecrow Festival. Monies raised by these events were split evenly between local societies and organisations. The Committee has had some changes. We sadly lost Dil Astbury, and aare Kimpton resigned, these two ladies had given great rdICe to the village hall for many years. Thankfully however. we have been fortunate to welcome Nick Holmes, Sue Coles and Julia Baker to the committee, and they are proving to be valuable assets. Financially we are moving in the right direction and at the end of the financial year we had a surplus of £14,106. However. there are some large sums to come out for the new sound System, which may make next years accounts not look so healthy. The new Octopus Energy electricity supplier is showing a good saving over previous years. Legally, the committee is fully compliant with annual audited accounts submitted to the Charities Commission, licences and insurances, and satisfies WCC Health and Safety requirements for the use of the Kitchen and Bar.
