Barkham Village Hall is run as a Charity for the local community.
It is very well used by a wide variety of regular organised groups and occasional users for parties, weddings and other functions.
The Hall is run by a volunteer management committee including the Charity Trustees. The Role of Chairperson is mainly to work with the Vice Chairman, Booking Secretary, Treasurer, Minutes Secretary in the running of the Hall and to chair the bimonthly management committee meetings.
In addition, there will be the occasional need to resolve operational issues as and when they occur. The position would ideally suit a community minded person, who enjoys dealing with people, and possibly recently retired.
The average time commitment would be two to three hours per week, plus the bimonthly management committee meeting which last for one to two hours.
