Minutes: The minutes of the AGM held on the 4th October 2021 were read and signed.
Chairman’s Report: Robert welcomed Julia to the meeting. He reported that the kitchen had been completed and thanked Delphine and other committee members for organising the renovation and applying for the grant funding from Powys Windfarm Fund. He thanked Mrs Christine Smith for completing the accounts and for the extra work created by the grant work. The replacement, internal, glazed doors had been made and fitted by Bill Naden and Simon Oakley had varnished them.
Treasurer’s Report: Dick reported that, ‘We started the year with a balance of £34,501 and an elderly kitchen. We had put £10,000 into the Savings account during the previous year, which meant we also had £14,823 tucked away.
During the early summer we had the serious fault in the car park foundations rebuilt and resurfaced at a total cost of £19,080. The funds for this were from a previous grant from the Windfarm.
During the year we received a further grant from the Windfarm of £15,541 to cover the costs of a new kitchen. And, thanks to Delphine and Sheila and the Windfarm and a few others we now have a wonderful new kitchen – not just new cupboards but a new floor and new equipment. We have now left for future generations a superb facility – all achieved in the Platinum Jubilee year. The total cost has been £21, 126 – well under my pessimistic forecast of £25k!
We have also had to have new folding doors in the hall at a very reasonable cost of £3,100 considering they have been built bespoke.
As at today, our current bank balance is £5,154.37, with our savings account still at £14,867. We have online banking which has reduced the bank charges slightly but £42 is still too much for a charity to pay. In the future, we should maybe address the electrics, the lighting and the heating in the hall. But for now, let’s enjoy the new kitchen, new doors and a level car park.’
