Another busyyear forthe Village Hall with a wide varietyof bookings. It certainly has
proved to be a Hall for All with a huge variety of events and sessions-Blood Donors, Eye
Clinic, Yoga of all different types, step dancing, Barn Dancing, Casino Evenings, Study
Days, Quizzes, The Rugby BaLI, Arts Educat on.Fireworks,an Indian Grooms Party,a
Romanian Wedding and even a visit byThe Bee Gees !It was good to see Barnwell
Entertainers back on stage their first play since havingto abandon due to Covid.
Our Bonfire Sub Committee organised ano-.her successful Bonfire Event which was welL
organised and welL attended sincere thanks to aLlforyour efforts very much
appreciated.
We increased our prices with most cominginto effectfrom October. It does not seem to
have had any impact on bookings and hopefuLlywilL heLp with our ever- increasing costs
of insurance, waste disposal and the dreaded electricity. Looking at ways to reduce
these costs will be somethingwe need to considergoingforward. We have made a start
by converting some of the lighting to LED fittings but there is our outdated heating
system to considerwhich has proven very costLyto run and to be honest is no Longer
that effective.
The hall has been used heavily and as a result is looking in need of a makeover inside
and out It is intended to decorate internally and externally during August, repairs are
aLso needed to some internaL doors. We aLso need to update the fridges in the Bar as the
current fridges have reached the end of their life.
The clothing recycling bin has proved to be a popular addition and the Community
Orchard is also progressing niceLy.
Once again mysincere Thanks to The Who,e Committee foryour much needed support
during the year. Thankyou to David for his perseverance with GigacLear ourwifi has
certainly made life much easier all round. SpeciaL Thanks to Julie for all her efforts
inside the haLI keeping it in good condition for hirers and to Brian for his work on the
weeds.
