The Committee Chelmarsh Parish Hall
NEWS – PARISH MEETING ON THE FUTURE OF THE HALL
Please read the following regarding the future of the Hall, as misinformation is circulating!
The Chelmarsh Parish Hall Management Committee is a registered charity, made up entirely of volunteers. As such it has a number of voluntary ‘Officers’, such as Chairman and Treasurer, and other members who are elected or co-opted and may have specific roles.
Each year all posts come up for re-election at the AGM. In March 2027 some Officers will be resigning after several years in their roles. At the moment no-one else has come forward to take on these roles. So that we can have a handover period to take full advantage of their experience, we need to have replacements in place soon. The Chairman and Treasurer have NOT yet resigned and continue to work for the good of the hall as before, but if the roles of Chairman and Treasurer cannot be filled by the end of November, the charity will not be able to continue, as we have a 3 month notice period in the lease, and these roles are a requirement of the Charity Commission. This will mean that the village has to look at surrendering the lease to the Diocese, which owns the building. This is likely to mean the closure of the Hall and loss of this facility to the village.
There is a meeting scheduled for Monday 9th November 2026 at 7.30pm at the Hall for all residents in the village to discuss the future of the hall and committee. Please attend!

This is a new role being considered by the Committee which would be paid at an hourly rate
