October 2018 ## **King George’s Field Cleeve** Registered charity 1088741 King George V Playing Field, Meeting House Lane, Cleeve, North Somerset, BS49 4PB ## **Trustees’ Report for the year ended 30 September 2024** ## _**Objectives and activities**_ The charity manages the playing fields, pavilion and associated facilities in the village of Cleeve, North Somerset, for the benefit of the local community. This includes: - facilities for cricket, football and tennis for use by local sports clubs - a children’s play area - a pavilion for use by the sports clubs and the local community, including a skittles alley - walking, games and general recreation - a Garden of Remembrance The day-to-day running of the facilities is managed, under the general oversight of the charity’s Trustees, by Cleeve Recreation Club, which includes representatives from the trustees and each sports club. ## _**Trustees**_ Caroline Crane (appointed August 2024; resigned January 2025) Sue Cook (resigned August 2024) Andy Burrell (appointed September 2024) Alice Jones Chair of Trustees Adam Mantzos Treasurer Martin Taylor Chair of Cleeve Recreation Club Colin Warren Secretary ## _**Achievements and performance**_ The year saw continued active use of the facilities by our cricket, tennis, skittles, and social clubs, the children’s play area, and the local community recreationally. Our new football club, Sporting Weston FC, played its first full season at the facilities. The trustees welcome a return to the full use of the facilities by all three sports: cricket, football and tennis. ## _**Financial Review**_ There was a small deficit of day-to-day income and expenditure of around £2,000 on the current account. We incurred significant expenditure on the installation of solar panels (funded in large part by generous grants from Bristol Airport and the England and Wales Cricket Board), the demolition of the old tractor shed, the replacement of the pavilion’s fire doors, repairs to our mowing tractor, and the making good of a maintenance backlog built up over the Covid period and the interruption of football. This should result in reduced expenditure in future years and was reflected in a reduction in our capital reserves (merged at year end in order to simplify future accounts) from around £24,000 to £8,000. ## **King George Playing Field, Cleeve Statement of account as at 30 September 2024** |**Net assets**
