 Last year we changed the format of our Management Committee.   The full committee which is made up of elected members as well as representatives from most village organisations have elected an Executive Committee which meets monthly to deal with day to day matters, leaving the main committee to make more major decisions on such matters of charges and expenditure.  This arrangement has worked well and led to a more efficient management structure but will be kept under review.
-We were saddened by the loss of one of our oldest and staunchest supporters early this year.    Lily Lennad, known as "Titch" (click [[Gordon & Lily Lennard]]) represented the 81<sup>st</sup> Club for many years and contributed in many ways to the life in the village.   Her death has left a gap in our community.   Another pair of stalwarts are to leave the village in the summer, Geoff & Marcia Prince. Marcia Prince, who has helped organise the last 15 [[Turkey Supper]]<nowiki/>s and almost as many [[Strawberry Tea]]<nowiki/>s, will be moving up north when her husband retires and she will be almost irreplaceable.   We wish them well and thank her and her husband who was our Treasurer for several years for their hard work on the committee and or all their efforts.

 The Treasurer’s report will show that our overall financial position remains satisfactory.   The roof fund has been most successful.   The generous donations from a number of village organisations have been supplemented by a substantial grant from the Wycombe Lottery.   The most rewarding donation, however, was the sum of £1,500 from our own small Village Day Committee.   With the ‘roof ‘project completed within budget the committee can continue to make improvements to the hall.   We are already committed to replacing the remnants of the old hall floor in the summer break.

The electricity coin boxes have been condensed making it easier to operate, now one 50p coin box works the radient heaters in the main hall centre, another the fan heaters around the main hall, and the other the heaters in the committee room. In the side hall or committee room one fan heater has been replaced with a radient heater making it quieter for committee meetings.

 '''Hallmark February 1985.'''    That our Village Hall and every village hall will have to pay for their refuse to be collected, is just one more eample of the Wycombe District Council's non concern or understanding of the villages.   For places like Speen and Hampden, struggling to make ends meet, it will be a crppling blow - no doubt with considerable letting we can take it in our stride, but nevertheless it's unfair and unnecessary.   Admittedly we get a reduced rate, but if no refuse collection, for what?   We would now expect to see our representatives pressing for village halls to be nil rated, how much is the Town Hall or Sports Centre subsidised from  the rate-payer?[[File:Village Hall Project 2000 Advert.jpg|thumb|Project 2000 Advert for a new Village Hall in 2000.]]

 '''HALLMARK DECEMBER 1980.'''   SO YOU WON’T DANCE – What about GARDENING?
 A public meeting is called for January 21<sup>st</sup>, at 7.30 in the Village Hall, to explore the possibility of forming a Horticultural Society  or Gardening Club.   Our thanks go to all the people who came forward as a result of our appeal for the Village Hall garden.   This now looks good if only we can stop people walking all over it.
 '''HALLMARK AGM 1980.'''   When Mrs Adams and her daughter Phyllis Dell decided, after many years of dedicated work, that enough was enough, your committee was naturally worried about how to replace them.   I think you will agree that the need usually produces the person to fill it.   In this case two people – a husband and wife combination.   We are extremely fortunate in getting Wilf Sanders to act as Letting secretary and his wife ‘Rene as caretaker.   click [[Min & Fred Adams]], [[Bill & Phyllis Dell]] and [[Wilf & 'Rene Sanders]] for more about Mrs Adams, Phyllis and Wilf and 'Rene Sanders.
