Trustees' Annual Report, including Directors' Report Year Ended 31st December 2023
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report for the year ended 31st December 2023.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
Structure, governance and management
The company took over the activities of the Haddenham Steam Rally in 2010, having obtained charitable status. Trustees are appointed by the members of the committee at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), as and when necessary.
Objectives and Activities
The charity exists to help preserve the heritage of road-going and other steam engines, historic agricultural equipment and machinery and other traditional country activities, and to educate the public in the heritage. This is done by putting on the Rally each year for the public to visit, with exhibits, many of them working, and demonstrations of vintage machinery and techniques.
Trustees and Directors
The following persons served as trustees and directors during the year: Kelvin Young Denise Young Trevor Brown Paul Cornwell Roger Foster Robert Pumfrey Gavin Young Terry Young
Company Secretary
Denise Young
Financial Review
The trustees are pleased with the Rally, and attendance, for year 2023. However, expenses exceeded income, and the Vat threshold acts as a constraint on gate fees. It is noted that income was close to the threshold in 2023, and it is hoped that the increased threshold in 2024 will enable the company to remain outside the Vat regime.
Director's/trustees' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102 and the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities (SOFA).
Income
Income is included in the SOFA when the charity becomes entitled, and the income can be measured with sufficient reliability. Where income has related expenditure, the income and related expenditure is reported gross in the SOFA.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
Plant and machinery over 3 years Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment over 5 years
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
Provisions
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of Haddenham Steam Rally
Period Ended December 31st 2023
I report on the company’s accounts for year ended December 31[st] 2023 set out on pages 1-6.
Respective The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees responsibilities of consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the trustees and Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is examiner needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given independent by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the examiner’s report accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
Independent 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, examiner's the requirements: statement
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the Companies Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
