Masham Sports Association:
Trustees Report for year ending 31/12/2024
Masham Sports Association had a good year in 2024. The four sports offered to the people within Mashamshire and the surrounding area were cricket, tennis, bowls and boules. Total receipts at £42,078 were £4,528 higher than in 2023 and total payments at £34,652 left a positive balance of £7,426 for the year. Total Association funds were at £56,554 on 31/12/2024 which was £7,426 higher than the previous year.
The first eleven cricket team in Division One of the Nidderdale Amateur Cricket League had a difficult season and were relegated to Division Two. They again had a combined second eleven team with Middleham Cricket Club that maintained their position in Division Six of the Nidderdale Cricket League at the end of the 2024 season. They also participated in the Wensleydale Evening League and had junior teams at both Under 9’s and Under 11’s in the Hambleton League. The ladies cricket team joined the Hambleton Women’s Cricket League and were able to fulfil all of their fixtures as enthusiasm remains high.
The tennis section in 2024 saw membership levels grow above 2023 numbers with 64 adults and 17 in the Under 18 age group. Social tennis sessions are played on Wednesday evenings, Thursday afternoons and Sunday mornings. These sessions remain the backbone of the club. The club is affiliated to the Harrogate and District League, which allows club members to enter competitions and keeps our club in touch with the local LTA organisation. They managed to come 4[th] in Division 4 of the Mixed Doubles League and they had 2 men’s teams in the Vale of Mowbray Friendly League. The tennis section have £20,000 in a savings account which is being built up for when the courts will need a complete resurface in the next 10-15 years.
The bowls section had 21 members in 2024. The bowls club played in both the JSW and the Bateson Leagues, both home and away in 2024. The team ended the season in the bottom half of both leagues. In the summer they held an open afternoon to seek to try and encourage new members and they did secure 2 new members from this initiative.
The boules section were in their first full year after commencing midway through 2023. Their number of members increased from 15 to 26 and they play mainly for enjoyment and camaraderie as there are not too many local teams to play against. They continued to improve their facilities by installing score posts and improved viewing facilities.
As indicated at the start this was a very positive year for Masham Sports Association as a new Chairman, David Broadley, took over in the summer of 2024 and he is helping to keep things moving forward in the right direction. Bar Takings in 2024 were over 90% up on the previous year and this helped us to have a profitable year which helped to increase our cash in hand. One key concern that needs to be addressed is the flooding of our main pavilion when the River Ure breaks its banks which is now becoming more frequent and occurs almost every year. Plans are being made to seek to address this going forward.
