Clubs and activities are shown in the financial statements attached, with a gross income of £5,838 (£4,834). An increase of 20% We were sorry to see the closure of the Youth Club and Zumba Dancing during this period. The clubs all progressed and income from Dog Training increased as a result of a new class. Hire of the Hall & Equipment, primarily to private hirers, has a gross income of £4,711 (£3,650). This is an increase of 29%. The committee continued to hold a fete with the dual purpose of providing a day out for the community and generation of funds for the charity. Net proceeds being £5,175 (£5,892), from which the committee had agreed to provide a sum towards the playground project as described below. During the year a successful Bingo/Beetle Drive event and coffee morning were held which provided further income of £687(£672). Overall the gross income for the year was £17,043 (£15,286). EXPENDITURE Normal running and maintenance costs for the year were £6,527 (£4,561). This increase in costs was due a range of maintenance items and the cost of maintaining the fire protection system. Total expenditure was £6,904 (£15,438) and after deducting from the gross income for the year this left a surplus of £10,139(-£152). Recreation Ground There is an agreement between the Charity and Ley Hill Cricket Club whereby the cricket club have use of the recreation ground for some matches in exchange for maintenance of the field. The grounds are also used by three different football teams. Funds received from the football teams are passed on to the cricket club after deduction of costs incurred for the football activities. FUNDS RESTRICTED FUND Playground Development After many years of planning and uncertainties with the Government Playbuilder Funding an award of £50,000 was approved. The balance of this funding of £40,000 was received during this year. The playground was completed and formally opened on 10th March 2012. The total of grants and donations for this project was £59,951 of which £57,566 has been spent on the development , leaving a balance on the restricted fund of £2,385. In accordance with undertakings given by previous Committees to allocate funds from the fete a further transfer of £2,000to General Playground Reserve has been made. This brings this fund up to £4,000. FUTURE The trustees aim to provide the hall for use by private hirers at costs that are comparable with other local halls. By ensuring that the standard of the facilities are maintained the trustees believe this will help to build the hire income. They also aim to encourage as much use of the facilities by the community in a wide range of activities at affordable costs. The fete for 2012 is already planned and look for new members of the community to participate in the programme of events. The committee are aware of a number of projects that need to be addressed: a) New toilets and changing facilities for sports users of the Recreation Ground. This would eliminate the problem of dual use of the hall toilets by hirers of the hall, who expect exclusivity of use, and the uses if the sport field b) Upgrade to the kitchen c) Change of electrical distribution to provide better structure and safety d) Alternative heating system to include removal the noisy heater in the kitchen. e) General upgrade to the hall toilets and redecoration of the hall The committee, which is appointed to represent the community, are voluntary and thank all who have contributed to the overall running of the charity. This amenity which has been given to the community, requires volunteers to run events to generate income, maintain the facilities and control costs. They would welcome new members since the continuation of the facilities is dependent on members of the community being involved.

  • Lca 16.5 Ashley Green Settled Plateau
    LCA 16.5 ASHLEY GREEN SETTLED PLATEAU LCA in Context LCA XX LCA 16.5 ASHLEY GREEN SETTLED PLATEAU KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Elevated, undulating plateau, of chalk overlain by clay with flints, which gives rise to loamy/clayey soils with impeded drainage. • Relatively large fields of arable cultivation, interspersed with smaller fields of rough grazing, pasture and paddock on village edges. Defined by hedgerows with trees and occasional fenced or open boundaries. • Small pockets of woodland scattered across the plateau, with a significant area of ancient broadleaved woodland located at Hockeridge Wood in the north and orchards south of Ashley Green. • Villages are spread linearly along roads, often joining one another e.g. Botley and Ley Hill and Lye Green and Orchard Leigh. A mix of modern and historically vernacular buildings. • Leyhill Common is a distinctive area of neutral grassland amongst broadleaved, mixed and yew woodland crossed by straight rural roads. It has been a golf course since 1900. • Extended fields with extensive boundary loss and 20th century enclosure dominate the area. Pre 18th century enclosures occur in proximity to settlements. • A medieval barn and moated site at Grove Farm and Whelpley Hill camp, a prehistoric or medieval fortification are scheduled monuments. Other archaeological features relate to the clay and flint geology e.g. Medieval pottery and Neolithic flints. • Local footpaths occur frequently, crossing farmland and woodland and linking villages. • The A416 and B405 cut through the landscape, and form the structure of linear settlements. • Views often across fields to a wooded or open skyline, with some to Chesham and the adjacent ridge and valley landscape.
