Crayke Sports Club and Village Hall
Annual report 2023
The Sports Club and Village Hall has been very busy throughout 2023 and into this year, with a good mix of home organised events and private bookings.
Seasonal events such as Bonfire, Christmas and New Year were very well attended by the Village and the wider community alongside smaller functions throughout the year giving a varied choice of entertainments and activities for all ages.
The monthly Village Market was a great success throughout 2023 and has returned this Spring and Summer. We attract a good mix of local and further afield residents alongside holiday makers, showcasing the facilities and its great to know that we have received numerous private bookings as a result. Thanks to Donald for leading on this.
The Committee have worked very hard to attract Sport back to the Village and 2023 was an exceptional year for Cricket.
With Ovington, Sessay, Easingwold and Crayke using the grounds and facilities it proved to be one of the busiest seasons seen for many years. Thanks as always for Andy and Iains hard work and dedication throughout the months keeping the grounds in perfect condition.
After many years Football finally returned to the SC&VH with Kirkdale UTD calling Crayke home last season and we are happy to announce that they are returning again this year.
All the teams to varying degrees use the Bar facilities either on the day or after training sessions, and the revenue received alongside the match fees greatly helps in returning funds to the Hall to help with the increasing expenditure in grounds maintenance that inevitably occurs.
With income generated the committee have been able to make more important investments to keep the facilities in top condition.
Purchases include:
Sound boards Lawnmower for the wicket Professional freezer Fridge New Lights in the Bar lounge area. new Shed for storage New security cameras. wine fridge professional kitchen flooring new tv
*two wooden benches
A full electrical safety check with repairs where required and a full fire safety check.
Earlier this spring we undertook a day of hedge and tree planting around the boundary. Thanks to the parish council and sustainable Crayke for their work sourcing and funding the plants and trees for the project. A chilly day, but well worth the effort with results that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
We have three new members I would like to welcome onto the committee. Thankyou Laura, Caroline and Zoe for agreeing to join us in what is quickly becoming a busy and productive group. My thanks also go to members who have left the committee since the last AGM. Thankyou Dianne and Joe.
The Churton Hall Trustees have helped the SC&VH financially throughout the years on many projects and the committee would like to give their thanks for the support received over those years and for their latest final contribution which has helped greatly with the purchases of the chairs and the sound system recently installed.
In summary the SC&VH is in a great position going forward. We have invested in repairs to the fabric of the building and grounds, we’ve worked to make the building more desirable for the Village and wider Community and modernised where needed keeping the feel of a welcoming Sports Club and Village Hall available to all.
My thanks to the Committee for all their hard work and we look forward to a busy and successful future.
Thankyou.

Independent Examiner’s Report
I have carried out an independent examination of the financial statements of the Crayke Sports Club and Village Hall for the year ending 31[st] of December 2023. My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. This included a review of the accounting records and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. Any explanations needed were provided by the Organisation.
No matter has come to my attention in connection with the examination which gave me cause to believe that in any material respect accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 41 of the Charities Act 1993, or that the accounts do not accord with those records.
There are no matters, which have come to my attention in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
