Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the village hall was closed on 23 March and will not reopen until we receive favourable Government guidelines. 

The Village Hall AGM has therefore been postponed until further notice.

Following issue of the financial report for 2019, I now issue the Chairman’s Report.

Chairman’s Report

Dear All,

Please see attached Kingscote Village Hall Accounts for 2019 kindly prepared by Philip Kendall.

In summary, it is pleasing to see that we have a surplus of income over expenditure during the course of 2019 compared to the previous year where we had a deficit because of the kitchen improvements. There is quite a considerable difference in lighting and heating costs which are attributable to the large electricity bill that we received back in July of 2019 which we contested. Our income for events and activities has remained quite constant though obviously we will see a significant reduction this year due to the lockdown and village hall closure.  

Thank you to everybody for continuing to contribute towards the upkeep of this great community asset!  

Many thanks

Seema Bowers
