BARNACLE VILLAGE HALL
Chair’s Report 27.11.2023
Good Evening and welcome to another Barnacle Village Hall AGM. I cannot believe another year has passed us by – it must be a sign of me getting older! I want to commence my report by giving my sincere thanks to my fellow volunteers on the committee who so generously give up there time to organise events and functions for members of our community and beyond. These have included:
Bonfire night, co-ordinated by Steve Rudge, which as is tradition took place on November 5[th] and saw a good crowd in attendance to enjoy the bonfire and fireworks and enjoy a hot dog and drink from the bar. It should be noted although I am reporting on last years event, due to the work involved in setting up and cleaning up afterwards and the increased health and safety concerns in holding such an event the committee have decided this event will not continue in the future. Therefore, please do not store your wood for next year as it will not be required.
On November 19[th] 2022 a 50[th] Year Celebration of the new village hall took place. Entertainment was provided by The General Wolfe Band and a supper was provided for a subsidised fee of £5 per head. Thanks should also go to Matt Erskine who spent many hours compiling a superb slide show of past events held in the hall.
The Senior Citizens Christmas lunch was attended my another record 36 people in attendance to enjoy a lovely meal prepared by Louisa Rudge and served by members of the committee and Paul Case. This was followed by entertainment provided by a magician, which was a change from the normal pantomime due to the company no longer offering the service. All the children in attendance received a complimentary selection box.
We were very fortunate to get a visit from Father Christmas to Barnacle followed by Carol’s with a brass band which was enjoyed with free mulled wine and mince pies. The sleigh was provided courtesy of Richard Grindall but unfortunately, Richard, who was a trustee of the hall and a great supporter along with his wife Linda, moved from Barnacle earlier in the year and will be sadly missed.
New Years Eve was celebrated with the fabulous Bootleg Numpties providing the entertainment which guaranteed a great start to the year.
The Kings Coronation was celebrated with The Vinyl Drive Band on the Friday evening and a picnic on Sunday afternoon on the village hall lawn. All the children in the village received a commemorative water bottle and the committee paid for the bench at the intersection of Top and Lower Road to be restored and a plaque to be installed. This proved to be a lovely community weekend to commemorate such a momentous occasion.
The Curry and Comedians Evening scheduled for October unfortunately had to be cancelled due to insufficient ticket sales. The newly elected committee will have to review if it is worth scheduling another event in the future.
Royal Ascot Day in June was a resounding success and it was lovely to see people turned out in their finery to enjoy a nice meal followed by the racing and afternoon tea rounded off by a traditional sing song.
The Flower and Produce Day returned in September with limited produce and craft entrants. However, a good day was enjoyed by everyone in attendance but unfortunately the new committee will again have to review if this event is to continue in the future.
The popular coffee mornings continued on Tuesday's with our older residents in particular supporting this event and enjoying the interaction with their fellow residents.
Improvements to the hall this year have included replacement of the fire doors and garage doors, new lampshades, the repair of the oven, a new switchboard and dimmers and the installation of CCTV.
Leanne did a fantastic job in staffing the bar for most functions, although we now have a backup in Natalie. She has been trained on smaller functions initially but is now capable of staffing most bars which gives us more flexibility and cover going forward.
Terry dedicates a great deal of time and effort purchasing drinks and restocking the shelves to enable bars to be run successfully, so many thanks for doing such a great job. Kerry, the cleaner for the hall continues to keep things looking neat and tidy.
Myra is our licensee, looks after the bar accounts and continues to keep the village informed of events with her design skills. Kathy, who is infact not even on the committee, continues to look after the bookings for the hall and her hard work in fulfilling this role so admirably is greatly appreciated. Lynda is our communications officer and ensures the village residents are aware of any events and information that requires disseminating. Brian, Chris, Steph, Viv, Teresa and Daphne have all been on various sub-committees to organise and sell tickets for a range of events and I thank you all for your valuable contributions. Cordelia continues to do a fantastic job as our secretary as well as helping organise events. Steve continues to be our longest serving committee member and ensures our accounts are kept in good order. Again many thanks to all the committee for so generously giving up there time to organise the wide range of events we have put on throughout the year and for making the hall such a special place.
I know I am preaching to the converted here but we really need more residents to support the events in the village hall to ensure this valuable asset remains viable. If there are any suggestions for future events you would like to see in the hall the new committee would be only too pleased to consider these. Also, although we have a great committee we would not be averse to welcome any new members wishing to join us. Our meetings are on the second Monday of the month so if you would like to contribute to being part of this wonderful village organisation please do not hesitate to come along.
