Chairman's Re ort to Barnwell Villa Financial Year 2022 e Hall Annual General Meetin for What a difference a year makesl Thankfully life has returned to normal, and the Hall is once again being used by a variety of events of on a regular basis. After a slow start in January things have picked up nicely. The hall has been used for 5 weddings, several caravan rallies,2 Quiz evenings, Blood Donors, Eye Testing, Stepdance, Birthday Parties, Parish Council, Wl, Yoga sessions, Arts Society meetings, Barnwell Entertainers, Abba Extravaganza. Lunch with the Duke of Gloucester and the Platinum Street party for the whole village which had to move indoors due to inclement weather! After much deliberation the Bonfire went ahead with a new team headed up by Laurence Hoefiing and his new Committee working together with help and advice from members of the existing Committee I think Laurence would agree it has been a pretty steep learning curve but the event went well and made a profit so many thanks to the Whole Team Old and New, I think it became clear that more helpers are required in one or 2 locations such as parking etc but it has been agreed that the event will run again in 2023 with the new Committee shouldering more responsibility. The village hall was pleased to be able to step in and help finance the Platinum Street Party. We agreed to donate £2000 for the event which was attended by virtually the whole village . It had been intended to stage the event mainly outside but in the event the weather was the wettest day of the summer so the hall was tested to capacity. However it was good event and was appreciated by the whole Community. A section of the field has been given over to Community Orchard Project, this was discussed with the Duke of Gloucester on his visit in May and he was fully supportive of this use for part of the field. On a cold December morning it was good to see the field buzzing with Tree Planting activity. The Orchard is going to be managed by The Community Orchard Team in conjunction with The Parish Council. We have installed a clothing recycling bin on the Car Park which hopefully will generate extra funds lo help support Community projects in the Village. My Thanks must go to The whole Committee for your help and support during the year it would not be possible without you input.To Julie and her Team for keeping the Hall looking so great and Brian for his outside weeding and grass trimming. Once again we are a Hall for All I I Robert George Marriott -chairman ## **BARNWELL VILLAGE HALL** Receipts and Payments Account For the year ending 31st December 2022 |**2022**
