Recrultment and appolntment of Trustees
All the management committee's trustees are appointed or reappoinled by
the members at our annual general meeting which is held in April each
year.
Governlng Document
The management committee is a charitable unincorporated association
and the purpose and administrative arrangements are set out in our
constitution.
Charitable purposes
Our purposes, as recorded in our constitution, are to promote the benefit
of the inhabitants of Oyne and its environs without distinction of sex,
sexuality, political, religious or other opinions by associating the local
statutory authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a
comrnon effort to advance education and to provide facilities, or assist in
the provision of facilities, in the interest of social welfare for recreation
and other leisure-time occupation so that their conditions of life may be
improved.
In furtherance of this objective the Committee shall seek to maintain the
fabric of the hall and to keep it clean, safe and comfortable state for all hall users
which conforms to health and safety standards. The hall Committee will do its
best to promote the use of the Hall by the Community.

AGtlvltles and achievement
We have had another profitable year with the hall continuing to have regular
bookings during the day and more especially the evenings during the week.
The school has continued to use our hall for sports. Yoga. jazzercise.
pilates and pottery occur regularly during the week. Monday drop-in social
sessions, serding tea and coffee and providing homebakes, have run over
the winter months subsidized by the hall. The reel club continues to meet
monthly in the hall. A music group meets to practi￿ here on Sunday
evenings. In March the Oyne Communty Association (OCA) held another
very successful quiz night in the hall raising £900 for the community.
The hall floor has been revarnished this year.
The hall committee has been planning for the possibility that the council
may withdraw funding from the hall, although this has never been
expressed by the council. It was decided that the committee should submit
an expression of interest (EIO) to the council to prevent any sudden
decision to change the current arrangement without our knowledge. This
was submitted with help and guidance from officers at Development Trusts
Association Scotland (DTAS). The EOI was accepted on March 28th 2025.
The acknowledgement of acceptance allows the committee to apply for
funding from DTAS towards a comprehensive survey of the building and
help with creating a business plan. We are keen to be guided by the
community regarding future planning especially given the possibility that a
community Spa￿ might be provided at Archeolink in the future. We are
currently waiting for the results of an OCA survey that is being carried out in
June 2025 before making any future plans.
Trustee remunèratlon and expenses
The trustees did not receive any remuneration or expenses during the
year.
Reserves
The committee held unrestricted funds of £36,660.46 at the year end.
The hourly rate for the hire of the Hall increased to £10.00 per hour for
nonprofit making users of the parish of Oyne and £15.00 per hour for
profit making activities.

3. Independent Examiner's Report
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31. March 2025
which are set out on pages 1
Respective responslbilities of trustees and examlner
The.charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts
in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment
(Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations
2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of regulation
10{1) {.d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility
tolexamine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c)
of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my
attention.
Basls of Independent examlnerfs ststement
My examination is carried out in accordance with regulation 11 of the
Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a
review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of
the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks
explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be
required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion
on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examinerfs Statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material
respect the requirements:
a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the
2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not
been met, or
2) to which. in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable
a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
