Achievements & Performance Cont.
We would like to thank the committee for all their hard work over the past year, and our hall
keeper
for looking after the hall. We would also like to thank Individuals hr
donations received over the year and Bardrochat Estate for the donation of the Christmas tree.
We are Still in di5CU55i0n with South Ayrshire Council about the Licence to Occupy agreement for

challenges with hall cover this year, when our usual hallkeeper is ill or on holiday or we have
weekend hall lets, rt can often be difficult to get cover. Our Commlttee are unable to open the hall
for lets ourselves withoLrt keys, which will not be given to us until the Licence to Occupy
agreement is signed. The hall was also closed for a tSrne due to storm damage while we were
waiting on roof tiles being repaired. This has impacted on our regular weekly lets, affecting over
