of the Old School Garden and Claypits.
Roy has spoken to Jim Dunkley at Pembrokeshire County
Council, where records show the Old School Garden is designated as a Village
Green/Recreational ground VG35 and the Claypits is designated Common Land CL116
both are the responsibility of the Community Council and should also be insured
by them for any works carried out on the land.

aware the Chapel has been transferred from the United Reformed Church to the Community Council, this needs to be
verified by the Community Council, Mr Dunkley has no registration on the Pembs
CC records for village greens and common land for this site.

purchased, posters, and also prepared items for the display boards and made
Welsh/English bunting. Polly has music
of that era, and Roy has contacted the Tin Shed in Laugharne in the hope of

Defibrillator - The defibrillator training took
place on the 11th October, when 22 people were shown how to use the
defibrillator and how to do CPR by Tony Wall of Tenby and Saundersfoot first
responders.
Following on from this, Sue has asked Tony if he is
able to do some basic First Aid, CPR,
choking and bandaging, it was decided to ask if he would be available for a two
hour training session on either the 7th
or the 14th February 2018.
Neville did express concerns regarding security of the
defibrillator outside the hall as one had already been stolen in Tenby.
Any Other Business
The
boiler has been repaired, due to an intermittent fault, and this was covered by
the Worcester/Bosch plan in place, Sue has concerns regarding the age of the

an afternoon Macmillan
fundraiser.
Llanteg Fun Day- Polly was unable to attend the
meeting but reported that the fun day was a huge success this year raising the
fantastic sum of £2325 plus £465 which is a 20% donation from Tesco making a
total of £2790, also £50 was raised for the First Responders.
Main hall lighting- Sue has asked Peter Brace to
provide a written estimate for the lighting to support a grant application.
Ruth has made an application to the Co-op under their Community funds scheme,
however, following completion of forms, we will not hear until January if we
are one of three projects to be selected, following which a public voting
process takes place to choose which application is awarded 50%of the project
cost. Therefore it was decided to pursue other funders, Sue will try Awards For
All.

There are also printouts from original celebrations to put on display boards.

received
to say there are no issues with the hall premises.
Ludchurch Show- This was held on the 4th August, again well supported with
funds raised donated to
Welsh Air Ambulance.
Next year hopefully the show could be advertised more to raise awareness
in Llanteg and allow for
more entrants.
WI-FI Connection-Mary has enquired regarding this
facility as many public areas now provide this facility for their users and
this may encourage more interest in our hall. However we would need a phone
line connection for which a rental would be payable, there being no concessions
for community buildings through BT or other suppliers.
Any Other Business-
The Community Council have enquired if the Committee
are agreeable to placing speed indicator signs
beside the A477, but on hall property, there were no objections to this
request.

Donations box - £2 donation had been received at the Feb Drop-in session, we will need to provide a donations box in the hall.
Swapping Skills - Barbara suggested that a skills swop would be helpful in the village, where people could post an offer of certain skills in exchange for another, however we would be unable as a committee, as with the newsletter, to provide recommendations, it would be a purely personal choice.
We concluded that maybe people networking at the drop in coffee mornings on an informal basis may be the best way to proceed for now. The formal Good Neighbours Group which was set up a few years ago did not have much of a take-up and was eventually discontinued.
Volunteers needed - Neville suggested a fairly regular weekday morning get-together for volunteers to help out with various community tasks which need to be managed, eg cleaning the plastic on exterior of village hall, grass cutting and weeding at all community areas, cleaning the bus shelter and anything else to keep our village spruced up!
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
MONDAY 23rd JANUARY 2017

Sue James, Tony Brinsden, John James, Jill Roberts, Polly

Apologies

Sue James chaired the meeting in Roy’s absence.
Minutes of Previous AGM
These were confirmed.
Treasurer’s Report
Llanteg Village Hall Association Treasurer’s
Report
Year Ended Oct 2016
The Association ended
the financial year with a healthy cash balance.
In terms of Income and
Expenditure, there was a decrease in income, most notably Hall Hire, which was
down 12.1% but this was offset by a significant decrease in utility costs and
the level of repairs & maintenance compared to 2015, where there was a
programme of kitchen refurbishment and general repairs. Power costs have also decreased which has
helped.
We continue to
received regular income.
We are grateful for
the 100% increase in donations from £90 in 2015 to £180 this year. The
Newsletter cost very slightly more this year resulting in only £16 net income
(2015: £51), but this was due to the switch to colour printing, which has been
appreciated by the recipients and should prove more attractive to advertisers,
thereby bringing in more income.
Owing to the current
financial situation, despite being in funds and with a healthy savings account
balance, we only received £5 bank interest.
The 100 club again
contributed £319 towards funds. Membership is still available and efforts will
be made to increase membership during early 2017. This will then result in more
funds for the Hall, together with engaging more villagers to use the hall and
it remain at the heart of the community.

Chairman’s Report
Llanteg Village Hall Chairman’s Report 2016
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, my
apologies for not being able to attend this evening.
However, my thanks to you all for attending
the AGM and more importantly for the support and time you’ve all given during
2016, all of which is deeply appreciated.
I express thanks to our Treasurer Mary for
her thorough financial statement and for all her hard work on our behalf.
Personally, I hope that Mary continues in this role in the forthcoming year.
My thanks go to our Secretary Sue James for
the efficient manner in which she carries out her duties, meeting and talking
with people and ensuring things run smoothly.
In addition, my appreciation goes to Ruth
Roberts as our Publicity Officer for all her work and good ideas, especially
for the work she puts into the village web site and news letter. The latter is
now self financing and has become a very effective means of communicating with
all of our community!
My appreciation for the entire committee’s
enthusiasm and efforts over the past year, since without your support and
inspiration, this hall could not survive.
As for hall finances:
Although income from hall is slightly down
on the previous year our net profit has risen and this is
mainly due to lower maintenance/repair costs.
The 100 club remains an important part of
our income stream and thanks go out to all who support it, don’t forget “you’ve got to be in it to win it”.
This all means that our current and savings
accounts remain in a healthy state.
Therefore a huge thanks to our very loyal
supporters; Llanteg and Badgers short mat bowls clubs, Llanteg History Society,
Snowdrops, Piloxing and New
Life Church.
Along with those who support us by holding functions and meetings here, thanks
to you all.
Turning to the community:
In the summer we had our first “Llanteg Fun
Day” which was organised by Jo and Polly Raymond and this was a resounding
success, raising £1,400 for the Welsh Air Ambulance Service. We all had a great
day and crowds turned up to make it a resounding success. Well done Jo and
Polly, this is what community spirit is all about, huge thanks to you and
everyone else who worked to make this possible.
Many thanks to John James, who throughout
the year spends time cutting grass and weeding at both the Village Green and
Clay pits. It won’t be long before those weeds return, so please spare some
time to weed and cut grass with us in March?
Finally, thanks go to Jill Roberts
(Chatwin) for organising our community walks throughout the past year, which
after this winter I’m sure we are all looking forward to more walks in 2017.
Thank you.

Pre Christmas
get-together
This
evening was a great success, with about 40 people present, being welcomed by
Polly and Hope with mulled wine on entry. The bring your own food worked well,
with more than enough for everyone.
Instead
of this being a pre Christmas event this year, Ruth suggested it would be a
good idea to celebrate our hall’s 70 years anniversary in January 2018, a
provisional date of the 14th is planned for this. This will also be
another opportunity for any new residents to the village to come along.
Electrical inspection
This
has been carried out by Peter Brace, though no invoice to date.
Correspondence
An entry form for the Pembrokeshire festivals brochure 2017 produced by
PLANED has been received and
returned requesting an entry for the Llanteg Fun Day. on 30th July. Starting
at 12pm.
Forthcoming
Events
Drop in sessions - These to begin on January 27th
@9.30am in the form of a coffee morning on the last
Friday of each month.
Sue will get supplies for this.
Ruth will advertise this on “
Pembrokeshire what’s on website” in
addition to posters, village website etc.
Book Club
Mary is setting up a monthly book club, and
has already had five expressions of interest, the aim is to read a set book and
then meet, either in houses, pubs, or the village hall, for a discussion about
the book.
Any Other Business
Llanteg Fun Day
This year the fun day will be held on the 30th
July , Polly has contacted Valero, in the hope of being able to use the marquee
which they kindly loaned last year.
Hall users insurance
Ruth felt it would be a good idea to remind all hirers
that any equipment they bring into the hall and any activities they take part
in must be insured by themselves as they are not covered by the hall insurance.
Main hall lighting
Sue suggested we need to upgrade the lighting in the
main hall, the fluorescent tubes are inefficient, and the holders in need of
attention, quotes to be obtained from Garwood and Peter Brace.
However Mary felt we should contact our main users,
who are the bowls clubs, to find out what lighting is preferable before
obtaining any figures.
NEXT MEETING:
Monday March 20th @ 7.30pm
