​

1.  Apologies

 None

2. Minutes of the AGM on 

The minutes of the 11th April  2024 were accepted as a true record by all who were present.

3.  Matters Arising

• Having a digital plan of the Hall for hirers to plan table placing etc had been explored but was deemed as too expensive software for the use by the hirers of the Hall

• Adjustments to the noisy fan in the disabled toilet had been attempted with some success, Richard Bines still has this on his to-do list

• The hedge at the side of the carpark is planned to be cut in the autumn

4.  Chairman’s Report

CE suggested that the Trustees wrote to Julie Goodchild to thank her for all her hard work through the year.

5.  Treasurer’s Report

Proposed by Chris Eames, seconded by Jane Eyre.

The accounts were accepted unanimously.

• The treasurer report that there is roughly a £900 deficit on the year, this is explained as the feed in tariff and Renewable Heat incentive are out of sync with the electricity bill.  The heat pump was faulty for a time meaning the immersion heaters heated the water for the underfloor heating causing larger electric bills (this has now been rectified). 

• The fire extinguishers needed replacing this year and the emergency lighting needed some expensive repairs.

• Hall hire – Baseline fees were increased from 1-01-25  for the first time in 5 years. 

• The funds raised by Flicks in the sticks is given annually after they have completed their accounts for the year.

Alan W Scott F.C.M.A. was appointed unanimously.
