Crayke Sports Club and Village Hall.
Annual Report 2024.
Last year the Sports Club and Village Hall experienced a both very busy and very successful year.
The facilities are in constant use week on week with either private bookings, Sport or in house events taking place throughout and on most weekends. Sadly a lack of customers led to the loss of the Yoga class, and our fitness class left us due to the client opening her own purpose built studio.
Toddlers still takes place every Monday morning in term time and is still very popular and the school use the facilities on an ad hoc basis also in term time. We do continue to advertise and hope to have more classes booked in the future.
Sport is thriving at the sports club and village hall. Kirkdale utd have just finished their second season with us and are returning in the autumn for a third, and last season Easingwold called Crayke home as well as our own Pilmoor evening league team.
This year we welcome Easingwold back alongside Clifton Alliance who are also using the grounds and facilities.
Evening bookings are growing strongly year on year and we have produced a solid structure to cater for both Sporting use in the day, alongside evening bookings resulting in all parties clearly and respectfully understanding each other’s requirements.
The village market grows strongly and attracts a large and diverse crowd with the community café fast becoming a meeting point for the community, much the same as the hugely successful friendship lunches which take place on the first Monday of the month.
Huge thanks to Donald and Fiona who take the lead in each of these events respectively.
As a committee we continue to organise a number of other events throughout the year for the community. To date all functions are well attended and a healthy use of the bar helps the finances greatly.
Numerous purchases have been made over the year to both replace and enhance the experience for all at the SC&VH. Far too many to mention although examples include new led lights both in the changing room corridor and street lights, new double doors in the bar area and redecoration of the corridor.
Upcoming works to include replacing the railings outside on the front of the building and to the side, re-levelling the football pitch, repairs to the playpark and a complete new bar are all in the pipeline and hope to be completed this year.
As all can imagine these works cost a considerable amount of money and huge thanks go to Hugh for sourcing two grants to help finance this, as well as the rest of the committee who give up so much time willingly for the greater good of the village and the wider community.
It really can’t be underestimated how much unpaid hard work and goodwill go into the running of such a successful facility and although sometimes it can feel a hard slog I know from the many messages I receive and the conversations I have, how grateful all are who use the building and grounds and reap the benefits.
We have a great thriving community asset, in a very healthy financial state, welcoming and functional for all. The result of a wonderful willing community and an amazing committee. All should be very proud.
Thankyou.
Gerard Shepherd. Chairman.
