Structure, governance and management
The objects of the Trust are the management and maintenance of Upton Village Hall and associated facilities.
Part of the extension which was completed in 2009/10 stands on land belonging to the Parish Council, whilst part of the playground and car park is on land belonging to the Trust. It has been agreed that the Trust should own the land on which the hall stands, plus the patio and a border of 0.5metres. All other land under the playground and car park currently owned by the Trust should revert to the Council.
The deeds transferring the land to and from the Trust and the Council have been signed and are at present with the Land Registry. After they have been returned the land belonging to the Trust will be vested in the Official Custodian for Charities.
As a necessary part of this exercise a new trust deed, which concerns the management of the Trust, has been approved by the trustees and, informally, by the Charity Commission. This deed will be submitted to the Commission for formal approval when the Land Registry has registered the transfers.
Other activities
During the year the ladies lavatory and car park were extended and equipment was purchased to facilitate the formation of a short mat bowls club.
Financial Review
At the end of the year the Trust had £3,264 in hand but had outstanding liabilities of at least £500. In the judgment of the trustees the balance provided sufficient capital to meet day to day running expenses. It will be necessary to raise more money before further improvements are made to the premises.
