MINCHENDEN ASSOCIATION LIMITED
Our Alms and obje¢tive$
Pur
oses and Aims
Our charity's purposes as set out in the objects contsined in the company's
Articles of Association are=
11 > to organize or provide or assist in the organisation or provision of facilities
for community participation in the healthy ￿CreatIOn of playing sport:
(2) to further such other charitable purposes as are charitable under the Laws
of England and Wales as the directors may from time to time decide.
Ensurin
our work deliv
raim
We review our aims. objectives and activities each year. This looks al what we
achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. It also looks
at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those
groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our
aim, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes. We hava
referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when
reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In
particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the
aims and objectives they have set.
Public Beneflt
The principal benefit to the wider public of our organisation is the provision of
facilities for sport and recreation. The clubhouse has 4 changing rooms with
showers for the players and a further changing room for the officials. There Is
also a bar and communal hall where we provide meals to our teams and those
visiting from other dubs. In addition to these facilities there is a licence with the
London Borough of Enfield to rent 2 football pitches (which become 1 cricket
pitch in the summer) nexl to our clubhouse. Without these facilities it would not
be possible for our playing members to participate in local amateur sport and for
past players to continue their membership and give back to the Association their
help as volunteers to the playing membership. This helps to keep down our
costs so that players only pay a small annual subscription and then match fees
each time they play. Discounts are given to those with low incomes such as the
unemployed and students and in exceptional cases fees are completely waived.
When the organisation became a charity the match fees were substantially
reduced and the balance of the running costs are met by donations and fund
raising events. The application of discounts for those on low incomes continue
to apply as does Ihe waiver of fees in exceptional circumstances.
Structure. Governance and Managernent
Governin
Documents
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on
6 December 2010 and registered as a charity on 14 February 2011. The
company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which sets out
the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its
Articles of Association. In the eveni of the company being wound up members
are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

MINCHENDEN ASSOCIATION LIMITED
Recruitment and A
ointment of Mana
ement Committee
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of
charity law and members of the Management Committee. It is a requirement of
the Articles of Association that one third of the Directors must retire from office
and seek reelection for a period of Ihree years al the Annual General Meeting.
All directors did resign at the last Annual General Meeting on 71h April 2022 and
were reappointed by the members of Minchenden Association Limited.
All member of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and
receive no benefits from the charity nor seek to recover any expenses.
Risk and Internal Control
The Organisation has in place systems of intemal controls that are designed to
provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss. These
include two signalories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to
ensure that insurable risks are covered.
Achievements and Performance
The primary measurement of performance is the continued strength of the
membership of the sports sections. which is clearty affected by their
performance on the pitch.
The Football club consolidated their position again in the Amateur Football
Combination with an increase to 5 teams all holding their own in their respective
divisions. The stand out team being the 1S1 Xl who won senior one division to
turn to the premiership once again. The Sunday Vets finished second and
were unlucky nol to win their league division.
The cricket club enjoyed a successful summer of cricket, again running three
teams in the Herts league. The 1st Xl finishing 3rd missing out on potential
promotion by a point. the 2nd Xl was mid lable having a great blend of
experience and upcoming players during the season and the 3rd xi won their
division - the clubs first league champions for nearly a decade. We continue to
run a Sunday friendly side and occasional 120 midweek games and have used
around 90 players throughoul the season. The annual tour to Boumemoulh saw
4 games in 6 days, resulting in 3 wins and one loss and a peak of 30+ people in
attendance.
Plans for the Future
The management committee decided not to undertake any further work until a
new lease has been agreed with Enfield Council for the clubhouse and
surrounding ground together with a licence to use the football and cricket pitches
at the Bramley Road site. Discussions with the Council were recenlly concluded
and the Association entered into a new 25-year lease on the clubhouse and a 10-
year licence for the pitches effective from December 2023. The club continues to
benefit from external professional advice which the executive believe is
necessary to protecl the interests of its members.

Financial activities and results
Our income from ordinary activities exceeded expenditure by £11.245
compared to a deficit of £21,469 in the previous year. Total income was higher
Ihan Ihal achieved in the previous year due lo an increase in match fees and
subscriptions ciue to the running of more football and cricket teams. General
operating costs were lower than in the pretr70us year because 2023 included the
cost of a new roller for the cricket section.
11 should be noted thal the reseNes are slill at a historically high level due lo the
decision of the Directors and the Executive Committee to defer nonossential
expendilure on the maintenance of Ihe clubhouse until a new lease is agreed wilh
Enfield Council. Projeds with an estimated cost in exce55 of £150,000 have been
id8ntified by the Executive Commitlee that will need to be completed to maintain
the condition of the clubhouse. It is expected Ihat this work will commence in the
current financial year and is expected lo take about fNe years.
Investment Powers. Pollcy and Performance
It is a requirement of POR (Policy Organisation and Rules) thal funds not
immediately required are transferred into a suilable investment vehicle. Our
policy has been to invest in bank deposil aco)unts.
Reserves
The Association went into this operating year with reserves of £150,555. These
have increased to stand al £161.800 at the end ol September 2024.
There are no non-current assets.
Voluntary Help
Many volunteers give up their time and lalents to support the Group. Wè are
greatly Indebted to these volunteers for their commltrnent and support.
