NORTH NOTTS GYMNASTIC CENTRE TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
Structure governance & management North Notts Gymnastic Centre was constituted by Trust Deed on 26 February 1999 (revised on 16th November 2016). It was previously known as Worksop Gymnastic Club. It is a member of the British Gymnastic Association.
In accordance with the constitution, the Charity shall be operated by an Executive Committee of at least 4 but not greater than 15 members with three honorary officers elected to hold office at the Annual General Meeting for a period up to the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting. Other committee positions may be co-opted by the Executive Committee.
Objectives & activities
The Charity was formed to provide recreational facilities to the public, particularly children, and young people with disabilities, in the interest of social welfare through the provision of gymnastics and similar recreational activities with the object of improving the conditions of life of the persons for whom the facilities are provided.
In planning the activities of the Club the Trustees have taken into account the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Achievement & performance The club has continued to maintain a stable financial position this year, with day to day budget management looked after by Dawn Connolly with overall budget governance overseen by Paul Gilbert.
The biggest challenge that was faced in the second half of the year was Covid-19 which affected us all. With lockdowns preventing training and therefore an income, the club managed to negotiate a reduced rent with the landlord, Welbeck Estate, for which we are sincereley grateful. That enabled the club to survive through the lockdowns, with members supporting generously through the closure by way of a monthly ‘retainer’, which covered the club overheads of rent and utility bills. The coaching team, with the support of Dawn continue to work hard to maximise the numbers in training sessions with new gymnasts joining the club, which helps to not only offer oppportunities to try the sport by also maintain a continuous income. This is in addition to the continuing development of existing gymnasts into senior and development squads and additional training allocated to facilitate this. The return to training follawiong the lockdowns challenged the coaching team in being able to operate within the BGA guidance, and recognition must go to all invoived in reviewing the training timetable, to allow gymnasts to return and train as effectively as possible while remaining safe and following social distancing measures, however this has resulted in a reduced number of sessions we are able to offer.
The focus of the Committee continues to be fund raising for new equipment. This year the opportunities have been severely limited due to the pandemic with no fund raising being possible in the seond half of the year. The priority this year was on raising money to go towards replacing the floor with several fund-raising initiatives adopted including a Halloween Party and an in-house competition which together raised £1,244. We also had a donation from Bassetlaw District Council Community Sports Fund of £350. We continue to be committed to funding the training and development of new coaches to support the growth of the club. This year we paid for one gymnast to attend a judging course but due to Covid restrictions they have not yet been able to attend. The fund-raising balance at the end of the year stood at just over £4,600. Departures in the coaching staff has presented a challenge and is likely to continue to do so for the forseeable future because of Covid. Whilst gymnasts have been identified and have expressed interest in becoming coaches, Covid means that coaching courses have not been running which has stretched resources. This will be a priority for the club going forward. The club continued to enter local club competitions as well as National, Regional & County Grades and Levels competition until Covid intervened. The gymnasts continue to do well in these competitons, with individual medals won at Grades & Levels competitions.
We have continued the dialogue with our landlord, Welbeck Estate this year to try and resolve some issues with the gym roof which leaks in places, and works have taken place but with mixed success and those efforts are contrinuing. Another area that was an issue was the parking at the gym during peak times. The Estate applied Page 2

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
for planning permission to build a new car park outside the gym and we are delighted that this work took place over the Summer and has resolved what was becoming quite a significant problem for all concerned.
As with most charities the club would not survive were it not for the passion and commitment of many people who give up so much of their time. Particular mention must go to:
-
The coaching staff who train and develop our gymnasts at all levels to exceptionally high standards which has led to the success at competition.
-
Dawn Connolly who gives up so much of her time in the day to day administration of the club and maintaning cash flow.
-
The Club Committee who continue to support the club.
-
The parents who support the club particularly in the latter part of the year through Covid,
-
Last but certainly not least - the gymnasts, who represent and promote the club so positively.
Financial review
This year has been an extraordinary year with the Coronovirus Pandemic overshadowing everything.
The closing balance of the current account this year is £11,444.59.
The closing balance of the fundraising account this year is £4,633.51.
In view of the fact we have been closed for 5 months of this year, due to government guidelines and that we have a relatively healthy balance, we do not currently see any requirement to increase the subscription fees.
The higher closing balance reflects Covid grants received to assist with the club's survival and monies accumulated for the electricity costs anticipated throughout the winter period.
We remain as always, a non-profit making organisation.
The main sources of income for the fundraising account this year have been the monthly club draw, and competitions held at our club.
Future Developments
Moving into 2021, we will continue to follow our Club's Development Plan, ensuring we align to the changes with Gymmark accreditation and continue raising money to replace our equipment and develop our coaching team's skills.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain a balance of £2,000 in the Fundraising Account.
