The AGM for the above charity will take place on 6th May 2026 at the Village Hall at 7pm . Gotherington Village Hall is run by the Trustees of the charity and relies on volunteers to ensure that the hall is fit for purpose and can be enjoyed by residents for all manner of groups and events. The Management Committee is made up of Elected Members and Representative Members. Each non-commercial user group of the hall is entitled to be represented on the Committee so that due consideration is given to those groups regarding the running of the hall. We are asking you to please put forward the name of your representative who will be prepared to become a Committee Member and Trustee for the Charity. There is a requirement for Committee Members to attend meetings, when possible, held every 2 months and to assist in the running of the hall. Gotherington Village Hall cannot operate without a committed group of people. Please ask your members, or parents of members, to consider becoming your Representative Committee Member. The more Committee Members there are, the lighter the load on each one and the hall will run smoothly for everyone's use. Please send the name and email details of your elected representative to.
