## **EAST HARLSEY VILLAGE HALL CHARITY NO: 523345** ## **CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 15.2.23** Syd Bailey (Chairman) presented his report for the preceding year. As a committee, the three main responsibilities are to ensure that the Hall is financially secure and professionally operated, to continue to maintain and improve the Hall’s facilities, and to put on events to enhance our local community. Financially, we are in good shape and expect that to continue throughout the coming year. We have had a very busy year and my thanks to the Committee for all their support and hard work in 2022. We have replaced the lights and curtains in the main hall and decorated both the hall and the entrance porch. We have improved the insulation and installed a sound system throughout the hall. We have finished replacing all the windows throughout and have improved the bar facilities by installing a glass washer. We shall shortly be decorating the bar and installing a sales and stock management system. Our thanks to the Parish Council for donating money to buy three circular benches and tables for the outside area. Any suggestions for further improvements to the Hall will be welcome. The monthly socials and coffee mornings/soup lunches continue to be popular and these have raised £1,700 for four different charities over the year. Our thanks to Sarah Martin and her helpers for organising these events. The Themed Food Nights have continued to be well attended along with the Safari Supper. The Plant Stall that ran in the summer was very successful and the Queen’s Jubilee Event a wonderful day. We continue to have a number of regular hirings such as singing groups, Pilates and fitness classes. The Hall continues to be popular for private hirings, especially weddings and birthday parties so thanks to villagers for their understanding of the use of the Hall for this purpose. We have agreed not to have more than six weddings a year to minimise the impact on the village. My thanks to Paul B and Judith for their assistance and to Mike and Gilli for all their help as Bar Managers. Thanks to Hazel and Les for doing a great job in keeping everything in such good condition. And thanks to Richard M for organising the volunteers for the bar. Finally, thanks to the residents of the village for all their support to the Village Hall which is always very much appreciated.
