Business as usual...

With a big 40th birthday party having taken place and lots of bookings into 2010, we are in good shape as far as use and income is concerned.  Rainbows has been suspended (a hall user, nothing to do with the Scout Group) so this will have a very small impact on hall income.

Speaking of income, we are investing a lot into the hall and our intention is NOT to make a profit and just to cover costs. Its seems the people of Chiseldon approve, as they are using the hall on most week days and income is at (or over £200 per month).  Our new Treasurer has rightly requested a revised cash flow and Akela will draw this up in the next week.

The heating has worked very well during the recent cold spell and with no burst pipes, its clear the hall is a warm and useable space.

Akela has been tardy in speaking to Community First to get help with the management committee terms of reference, but this task along with working with trustees should bring about a release of capital to enable phase 2 works (windows and doors replacement with double glazed units) and provide a financial platform for ongoing operation and maintenance of the hall.

A while ago, Akela made a submission to the Borough Council asking for a 100% dispensation on 'rates'.  Whilst the submission has been acknowledged, we dont have an outcome...
