The Management Committee

The Hall Management Committee is constituted by an agreement between St Andrew’s Chesterton Parochial Church Council (Chesterton PCC), Old Chesterton Residents’ Association and St Andrew’s Road Residents’ Association and comprises twelve members, half appointed by the PCC, one each appointed by the signatory residents’ associations and four elected from user groups at the Annual General Meeting of the Hall. The Chair is always taken by a PCC representative. The committee meets quarterly and is responsible for directing the day to day management of St Andrew’s Hall, its budget and accounts and the employment of its staff.
