The hall is used by the community for regular exercise classes, celebrations (weddings, birthdays etc), fund-raising activities, sports events, a monthly market etc - and can act as a designated emergency response hub if needed.
The hall is managed by a committee of positive and proactive locals (who have a lot of fun doing this!).
We now need a new treasurer as our current treasurer is stepping down after several years. If you enjoy working with numbers and would like to get involved in your local community, we'd love to hear from you.
The Treasurer’s role includes:
• receiving and banking all payments made to the committee
• paying accounts and expenses
• keeping an accurate record of the transactions and accounts
• providing a financial update to the monthly committee meetings
• preparing annual financial report accounts for the AGM
• arranging an annual audit of the finances
• managing term deposit investments
.
If you’re interested or would like to know more, please message me or phone our current treasurer, Katherine on 0276712166.
If you would like to learn more about the hall activities, make suggestions or provide feedback to the committee - or volunteer to help in any way - we'd love to see you at the meeting on Monday.
