Village Hall management

The hall and the recreation ground are managed by The Kington Langley Village Hall and Recreation Ground CIO — a charitable incorporated organisation, registered with the Charity Commission as charity number 1165128, company number CE006020. It has run the hall since 2016 under a constitution approved by the Charity Commission, and is managed by a Board of Trustees.

Most trustees (up to 18) are appointed by the Parish Council, principal hall users and other village organisations. The Annual General Meeting, usually in July, elects up to 6 more, and the Board may co-opt up to 5. The AGM is open to all Kington Langley residents aged 18 and over. The Board elects its officers straight after the AGM and usually meets twice a year.

Bookings are handled by the Booking Clerk and financial matters by the Treasurer. Other day-to-day management and operating budgets are delegated to four committees, which meet as required:

House Committee

Management and maintenance of the hall, its contents and services.

Grounds Committee

Maintenance of the recreation ground, play areas and car park.

Project Group

Programming of major projects, including a rolling programme of redecoration, major maintenance and capital projects.

Events Group

Planning and running events promoted by the charity, in particular Rural Arts Touring events.
