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.
