## **Chairmans Report**
The year has een one of great change in personnel as well as one ofb investment in the infrastructure of the uildingb .
## **Personnel**
With the resignation of the Ces and Tim oR bson there was the need for change. Following many successful years of continuous service the oR bsons oversaw a transition from a facility close to anb kruptcy, to the successful illage all we see todayV H .
As a result, there were many changes to the committee. ilsa A Bearpark took over as Secretary; Moira eith stepped up to the roll ofK Treasurer and ohn orter oined the Committee as ChairmanJ P j .
In addition, rian aB D vies oined as the Cricj ket Club representative meaning the Committee now had representatives from the two main Sports Clubs, the School, the arish Council, the Sports and Social P Club, the RGMC as well as the Church.
It was decided we needed a dedicated ooB king Secretary, and the appointment of Caroline Waites has proved to e an inspired choiceb . Caroline has overseen the introduction of the online oob king system as well as promoting the club’s facilities.
## **Estate**
During the year we have made considerable investments in the infrastructure of the illage allV H . complete redecoration of the MainA Hall as well as the Meeting oom, corridors and stairwellR . We have replaced the main door complete with a coded entry system for greater security.
We have purchased a new cooker for the itchenk . We have repaired a part of the drainage system from the Sports Club, and we have - repaired holes in the Car arP k, although this remains an on going problem.
## **Finances**
Despite all the investments made this past year, the finances remain robust. oweH ver, if we exclude rent paid y the Sports and Social b Club, we arely reab b k even. This needs to e addressed as we mob ve forward. With large savings made from changing energy supplier - mid year, there are few opportunities left for significant cost reductions. We increased room hiring charges for the first time this decade. riority now is to increase the numP ber of hall oob kings.
## **Bookings**
Booking levels have remained constant over the year, despite losing the regular oob king from the ogs TrustD .
We now measure the occupancy of the available rental sessions and Caroline is promoting the club through FaceBook and other social media platforms.
## **Future Projects and Activities**
Looking to the future, the Car arP k remains a ma or issuej . The cost of resurfacing the complete area including the 20% owned y the b school is in the region £100k. elp from the school or eeds City H L Council has not een forthcoming and is unlib kely in the future. This liability will remain with us unless we can find an alternative funding source.
The main pro ect moj ving forward is to create a Community Centre for all to en oy, with etter use of the reen oom and the creation j b G R of a illage uV H b and Café. This will take considerable time and funding which will occupy the committee for the next twelve months and eyondb .
## **Summary**
This committee has een proactib ve in moving forward in improving systems, governance and structural repairs and maintenance. These are handled as a team. We are motivated to move forward now with common goals. I am proud to chair a group of like-minded people who are willing to put in the hours to support one another to provide a wonderful facility for the community.
