Lapworth Village Hall Management Committee

Chairman’s Annual Report for the year June 2024 — 2025

Another busy year with bookings remaining high. The annual hire fees received have stayed similar to the previous year.

We had three very successful community fund raising events, Burns Night, Bee Gees Tribute Band and our Annual Quiz Night. We also hosted the Lapworth Scarecrow Festival, however, any profits from this event were shared around the local village societies.

Last year we installed the new sound system, but the cost of this did not appear in last years accounts so that has made this years’ final balance not looking quite so healthy. However, putting the two years together it does show that we are still going in the right direction.

The next plan for improvements will the refurbishment of the front toilets, including new floors, doors and re-decoration - we should be starting this in December 2025. After this, we are planning to replace the floor and the doors in the rear toilets, renew the floor in the kitchen and modernise the work surfaces etc. We are also hoping to upgrade our website to make it more user friendly.

The committee has remained the same during the last year and we give thanks for this continuity and for their hard work.

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. a
