Review of progress and finance
The Hall has seen improved usage compared to last year, with an increase in regular bookings and
tennis court subscriptions. As for all users, the Hall has experienced significantly higher energy costs
year on year. with other costs broadly similar to last year. 2025 Is expected lo see a further increase In
both regular Hall bookings and energy costs. The Foundation Is grateful to the Leaminglon Hastings
Consolidated Charity for supporting both the Hall and the Silver Surfers.
This year has seen a continuation of the move to modernisation of the processes and procedures, as
well as work on improving the fabric of the building The move to the new, fully online banking
arrangements was completed during the year, a new Constitution was adopted and a dedicated
Vo￿u￿teer engaged to pursue g rant funding, with early results looking promisi ng Su bsequent to the year
end, the committee has i nlroduced an on line manage ment Information platform, and it is antlGipaied that
in mid-2025 an online Hall booking platform will be introduced.
The Bowls Club saw increased usage both indoors and outdoors and this, together with successful
fundraising activities, enabled the clLJb to show a satisfactory surplus.
The Silver Surfers had another successful year.
