## **Performance and Achievements**
The club returned to action in September 2021 after a long break due to Covid 19. A number of junior members did not return after such a long break but the club was able to compete again and ran the following teams:
- U10s in local competition
- U12s in local competition
- U14s - National League (Basketball England)
- U16s – National League (Basketball England) – League Runners Up/Play Off Semi
- Finalists
- U18s – National League (Basketball England) – Play Off Semi Finalists

The club has had a number of junior and senior players representing GB this season in international competition. The club was represented at U16 level through to both Senior and Masters. Head Coach Vanessa Ellis also flew the flag for the club as Assistant Coach to the GB Senior Women.
The club celebrated its 60[th] year in 2022, the oldest women’s basketball club in the UK which is testament to the management and volunteers that make up the Trustees and core members of the club. However, the year was also one of sadness as the club lost its Chairman and founder member Betty Codona OBE who died suddenly on Fri 18 Mar, after a short illness. The 60[th] celebration fundraising dinner in March was quickly turned into a **tribute to Betty who made everything possible as the club would not be where it was today** if it wasn’t for her passion, commitment and drive! She has left a massive gap within the club but also a fantastic legacy!

## Notes to the accounts
## for the year ended 31 May 2022
## **1 Receipts and payments accounts**
Because the level of income and expenditure is below £250,000, the group has opted for accounts prepared on a receipts and payments rather than an accruals basis.
This is in line with Charity Commissioners guidelines for small charities and is seen as more appropriate for this project.
