The Trustees met to discuss and examine the activities and governance of Kingsbridge Gymnastics Club.

In challenging year unwinding from The Covid crisis The Club has cotinued to thrive. The Trustees are grateful to The Committee and coaches for their hard work and dedication.

The Club has had sound leadership and continues to be conducted in accordance with the charitable object. Finances are also sound but Trustees would like to see more active fundraising from the bottom up. Squad sponsor and competition fundraising will reduce the burden on the recreational income and should be a priority.

Club Championships will take place this year for the first time since 2016!, this is very welcome news. The Committee should remain mindful that Club Championships are an integral part of our constitution and every effort should be made to hold it each year. It is also a showcase for the Club and a good source of fundraising.

The Trustees congratulate all those involved with keeping the club operational in accordance with professional standards. The volunteers, administrators, fundraisers and building work devotees should not be overlooked.

2022 has been an exceptional year for the Club. We've managed to emerge from Covid bigger and stronger than ever before.

The club now offers a broader and more diverse program including Gymclusive classes, tumble clinics, adult gym, mini squad classes, boys squad classes, and a Saturday club.

In 2022, we invested significantly in the development of our Gymclusive area. This is mainly due to Grant funding kindly donated by Devon County Council, Activities 115 and local businesses. Although these classes are still in the process of being developed, they are contributing a small amount of income.

During 2022, we relaunched our annual club champions, which was a huge success in terms of participation, enjoyment, and word of mouth. Overall, we made a profit of £700

Our Christmas party for the children was finally held in the loft! This was at a cost of £71.90.

The club has invested in the following for 2022

Grants

Due to the increase in the cost of living, rent, and electricity in 2023, it will be a financially challenging year for the club. Currently, we are exploring ways to expand our services and looking at our daytime and holiday offerings.

Additionally, we will examine ways to reduce our costs. Efforts will also be made to identify and pursue additional sources of funding.
