After the retirement through ill health. of the person who acted as caretaker for the premises. the Trustees shared the responsibility for opening and cleaning until a suitable person was found to take on the role. The use of the Community Centre by various groups has expanded from the previous year. We were very happy to see the facilities used by various charitable organisations to raise funds for their different causes. One particularly noteworthy charity was Operation Romania which made use of the hall throughout the winter and spring to raise money to fund the purchase of materials to help refurbish an orphanage in Romania. A group of tradesmen from the area volunteered to travel to Romania in July to carry out this work The Centre was also used this year by the local farming community for a training programme and we would hope to see this repeated next year.
