The 22nd annual general meeting was held on 30 May 2006 at the Village Hall. The Chairman reported on another successful year and thanked the Committee for their support with particular reference to Graham Breen, the Booking Secretary, for his hard work. He also thanked Hugh Clifford and Anne Stickland for running two money-raising events, namely a Quiz night in March and a Barn Dance in May, which raised £750 per event. He also thanked Moreen Wheeler for another year of good work.
The year just passed had involved the introduction of the new licensing laws, which had taken up some considerable time for the booking secretary and himself. Government had promised to review the legislation as far as the impact on village halls was concerned, but whether this would take place was anyone’s guess.
Richard Edwards then reminded the meeting that  hall hire charge out rates had been held at their current prices for three years since 1 Sept 2003. He had written to all hall users on 8 June 2005 and forewarned them of a likely 10% increase from 1 Sept 2006, which the committee had confirmed should be implemented. He would write accordingly to all concerned. Our review of the 2006/07 budget  confirmed this was absolutely essential, especially as we had had our grant from the Parish Council reduced for the forthcoming year from £2,580 to £1,600. Nevertheless, he wished to thank the Parish Council for their financial support which, duly revised, stood at 10% of the forthcoming forecasted operating costs. The Committee would need to critically appraise the charge out rates in a year’s time for the year 2007/08.  
The Treasurer reported a break-even result similar to that of the previous year. Repairs and Maintenance represented roughly one third of our total operating costs. The General Funds stood at just under £30,000. After answering one or two questions, the meeting adopted the report and passed a vote of thanks to Tony Cornell who had carried out an independent examination of the accounts.
The election of the Committee Members was confirmed and the meeting closed for wine and cheese.
