BARNACLE VILLAGE HALL
Chair’s Report 19.11.2025
Good Evening,
Thank you for taking the time to attend the Barnacle Village Hall Annual General Meeting. I would just like to reiterate that this report covers the period from October 1[st] , 2024 to September 30[th] , 2025. Let me begin with most important action which is to thank my fellow volunteers on the committee who so generously give up there time to keep this invaluable institution alive. Throughout the year we have organised events and functions for members of our community and beyond which have included:
A Halloween night was organised on 1.11.24 in place of bonfire night. This was because the committee had reluctantly taken the decision not to hold Bonfire night due to health and safety concerns and the amount of work involved in setting up and cleaning up afterwards. The Numpties provided the entertainment with the hall suitably decorated. A good night was had by all of those in attendance but the numbers attending was a disappointment.
The Senior’s Christmas lunch was attended by 30 villagers who enjoyed a complimentary meal prepared by Louisa Rudge and served by members of the committee and Paul Case. This was followed by entertainment provided by Mr. Twister the magician, and all the children in attendance received a complimentary balloon character.
Father Christmas, with the much appreciated assistance of Steve Kinsella, visited Barnacle in a grotto set up on the village hall stage. The Carol’s with a brass band had to be conducted indoors due to the inclement weather and those in attendance enjoyed free mulled wine and mince pies.
New Years Eve was celebrated with The Ministry of Soul band. They were great musicians and provided a good night but unfortunately seemed to finish too soon to celebrate well into the New Year.
We had an ABBA tribute in February which was good fun with many people getting in the spirit of the occasion by dressing up with lots of glitter and sequins.
The 80[th] Anniversary of VE Day was celebrated with the General Wolfe band on Saturday 3 May. The lighting of the brazier beacon and The Community choir singing a selection of war songs on Thursday 8 May with the bar open afterwards made for a every enjoyable evening to conclude proceedings.
Royal Ascot Day in June was a resounding success although the weather was extremely warm. People made the effort to dress up to enjoy a lovely meal provided by the caterers, Greenaway's followed by the racing and an afternoon tea provided by Louisa. The day was rounded off by a traditional sing song.
The second Brass on the Grass event was held in July as a free event for residents with attendees bringing along a picnic to enjoy a Summers evening listening to a wide repertoire of music provided by Bedworth Brass.
VJ Day was celebrated with The Numpties providing the entertainment on Friday 5 September and a good night was had by all those in attendance.
The ever popular coffee mornings are held on Tuesday's with local residents and beyond enjoying the chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of cake. A special mention should go to Brian and Jean Martin who have helped to keep this weekly event alive.
Major improvements to the hall this year have included tarmacking the carpark, redecorating the hall inside and outside, adding a Bluetooth connection to the music system, re-carpeting the stage and installing a Tommy silhouette on the front wall .
Luke is now our resident barman and has done a fantastic job serving residents and customers with their favourite tipple which even extends to shots and cocktails.
Terry continues in keeping the bar well stocked to enable bars to be run successfully, so many thanks again for doing such a great job. Kerry, the cleaner for the hall, continues to keep things looking neat and tidy.
Myra is our licensee and admirably takes care of the bar accounts and continues to keep the village informed of events with her design skills. Daphne took over the role of bookings officer until her operation and Teresa has now taken over the role. Chris continues to keep our finances in check as treasurer and compiles the booking schedule. Lynda as communications officer ensures the village residents are aware of any events and information that requires disseminating. Brian, Steve, Steph, Viv and Teresa 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. I cannot thank the committee enough 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.
Unfortunately, I need to conclude by repeating the message that we really need more residents to support the events in the village hall to ensure this valuable asset remains viable. It is quite disheartening that we could not put on regular events if we only relied on local residents. We are also an ageing committee so we would really 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
e examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, e to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
® to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners’ statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiners’ statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention
-
(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
