Hall operating income ~ viability

With five months of hall operating experience and income under our belts it is increasingly clear that we have firm foundations in place for ongoing operation of the hall.  We opened the hall on 1st Sept 2009.

Income figures so far (GBP):
Sep   Oct   Nov   Dec   Jan
245   155  210    210   240

The average income is £212 per month and this projects to an annual income of over £2500. Hall operating costs should be covered by this, but we have yet to hear about Council tax and water still needs to be split from the Club.

The income figures are in excess of the amounts predicted in the business plan.  For February 10 we already have a provisional income figure of £140. As with any concern, we need to keep our eye on the ball, contain costs but in our case we must stay true to the vision of a community hub that is accessible to all in the village and that (through the cycle) we do not make a profit when operating the hall.

Akela met with Community First (last week) and took advice regarding establishment of a management committee.  Objective must be to draw this meeting into life in the next month.
