## **EAST HARLSEY VILLAGE HALL** 

## **Chairman’s report 2022** 

Hello everyone. Many thanks for coming along this evening. 

You will have noticed a change of Chairperson for this year. You may remember from last year’s meeting that Richard planned to stand down in October with me taking over from him. So, first of all, on behalf of the Committee and the whole village, I’d like to thank Richard for his excellent Chairmanship and great contribution over the last few years. I hope you agree that the Hall has gone from strength to strength over this time. 

I’d also like to thank Paul and Judith as Treasurer and Secretary, Mike as Bar Manager and the rest of the Committee. 

In addition, we have a lot of people who are not on the Committee but help run events, provide cakes and soup, volunteer on bars etc so thank you to all of them too. It really is a team effort and without everyone’s time, support and commitment we would not have this fantastic community facility. I would also like to thank Hazel and Les for all their hard work in continuing to make the Hall look so good. 

As the Committee, our three main responsibilities are to ensure the Hall is financially secure and professionally operated, to continue to maintain and improve the Hall audits facilities, and to put on events to enhance our local community, so I’ll just say a few words about each of these. 

As Paul will tell you in more detail, financially we are in good shape and expect that to continue through the coming year. 

In terms of the fabric of the Hall itself, again it has been a busy year and Paul will give more detail, but just to give you more information on the biggest project. We have taken the significant step of replacing the heating in this main hall as the old one had reached the end of its life. I hope that you will agree that the new heating system is providing a nice warm and consistent temperature through the hall and blends in very well with the fabric of the room. 

Looking forward, our main planned project this year is to continue with the next phases of the windows replacement project to help with maintenance and running costs as well as making the rooms less draughty and more comfortable. 

Finally, on our most important objective the Hall continues to provide a valuable community facility and thankfully we were able to slowly return to more normal operation through the course of last year, while always taking care to comply with Covid guidelines. The monthly socials and coffee mornings/soup lunches continue to be very popular and well attended. I am pleased to report that we now have a number of regular hirings for, among other things, singing groups, 



Pilates and exercise classes. And the Hall continues to be popular for private hirings, especially weddings. 

Thanks again to villagers for your understanding of the use of the Hall for weddings. I know sometimes that parking and noise can be an issue so as a Committee we have agreed not to have more than 8 weddings per year so hopefully the village impact is acceptable for people. It is obviously a good source of income for the Hall but, more than that, it is just fantastic to see the building used for these special events. 

Finally, I would like to thank everyone in the village for your support of events and activities in the Hall. It is very much appreciated and allows us to keep doing what we do. As always, any new volunteers who would like to get involved would be most welcome.
