Chair’s Report
This is my eleventh full year as club chairman.
This past year has been our third full year of trading since the Covid epidemic. The club re-opened on a permanent in mid - April 2021. As previously the past year has been another in dealing with the disruptions of Covid made worse by the Ukraine war. Trading since the disruptions of the covid lockdowns has impacted the club since March 2020. In the early months since reopening people were still reluctant to socialise and this combined with the cost-of-living crisis has impacted our profitability in the period to the tear of 2023. Since then, activity has become normalised and the club is currently trading well in terms of turnover during the current period to 31st March 2025.
However, our trading conditions changed quite dramatically in June 2024 with what can only be described as a dramatic increase of virtually one hundred per cent in our cost of energy supply. The club has also experienced increased costs of other expenses such as insurance and other essential services, but have been fortunate that our bar supplies from Coors Brewery have remained fairly stable. We have made efforts to secure our normal level of gross profit but have unfortunately had to increase our prices but have kept this to a minimum possible amount without.

As previously the club is blessed with an excellent social membership which is now enhanced with the families of the senior and junior football teams that make use of our facilities. It has been wonderful to return to organising our seasonal calendar of social events with successful Easter, Halloween and Christmas events enjoyed by the membership and the local community together with our weekend ‘Paddfest’ music festival held on the sports ground. The traditional bonfire night has not been resurrected due to problems of bad behaviour at recent bonfire events.
This year we have not made any further clubhouse improvements but the previous improvements to the roof space and the toilet areas have clearly improved the well-being of the club.
The membership is now quite happy to use the social club area of the premises freeing up the function room to host a wide range of functions such as parties and funerals.
In terms of our general sporting activities our crown green bowling section has never recovered from Covid lockdown resulting in a loss of membership. The remaining bowlers have formed up with another nearby bowling club. Our bowling has consequently been put to use as a training area for the football goalkeeping academy sessions. We have established senior football team Brittania Sports hiring the ground facility and also junior teams from Golcar United. The Huddersfield and District Football Association also use our function room for their monthly club administration meetings.
I would like to thank all of the committee members who have worked hard to encourage good usage of our function room their continued hard work and enthusiasm. Each member has a role to play and is invaluable. Their voluntary effort and commitment are vital to moving the club forward. I would especially like to thank the staff of the club, particularly our steward Vicky King our excellent stewards. Vicky Also, to members who have stepped forward to assist in the groundsmanship required to maintain our outside sports facilities to a high standard.
As chairman I am pleased to see my ambition for the club to become more family friendly and orientated being continued, with a continued good atmosphere and ambiance has been further developed been by our football members.
Despite the disruption to our normal functioning from increased costs during the year to 31[st] March 2025 I am once again optimistic that with the current staff and management committee we can keep pushing forward into the future with optimism.

The Sections
The Bowling Section has been badly hit by the covid epidemic and seems unlikely to continue into the future, as no teams have been raised to compete in league competitions during the summer of 2024 or 2025.
The Cricket Section is still dormant during the 2025 season. Efforts are ongoing to find a suitably good ground for initially establishing junior cricket for the children of Paddock, but as time passes the club is becoming increasingly orientated towards football and junior football.
The football activity of independent senior and junior clubs is now the lifeblood of our outdoor sporting activity and we wish those clubs every success in their endeavours.
Children
Most of our seasonal activities are centred around families and children such as our Halloween and Christmas parties.
Indoor Sports and Pastimes
As noted, we now have teams playing darts, cards, table tennis, pool and snooker in the local leagues.
The future
We are committed to maintaining the football ground to the necessary standards to allow the successful progression of our football players through the FA league pyramid structure.

Our purpose and activities
The purposes of the charity are to:
-
Promote community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Paddock in the Metropolitan District of Kirklees, and the surrounding area, by the provision and maintenance of facilities for playing bowls, cricket and other sports.
-
Provide and maintain a clubhouse for the use of the inhabitants of Paddock, and the surrounding area, without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, including use for: (a) meetings, lectures and classes, and (b) other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants of our community.
The vision that shapes our annual activity is the desire to support the development of sport and other community activities among all members our community. We aim to do this by operating a fully open membership policy and providing a range of inclusive activities and sports at our facility (including constantly upgrading the facilities where resource and funding allow for this).
In shaping our objective for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on public benefit and fee charging. The club relies upon grants and donations and also upon fee by way of membership subscription income and the trustees give careful consideration to the accessibility to the club activities to those members of the community who are unemployed or on a low income. Our strategy makes clear that we encourage participation in our activities by all members of the community, including local junior and high schools.
In promoting the objectives and vision of the charity the company has undertaken or commenced the following programmes: -
-
we continue to enhance the quality and sustainability of our regular sports activities – football, snooker and pool, and (when possible, again) cricket
-
we promote and develop a new programme of sports and recreational activities
-
we operate a social club and organise a range of social and cultural events, including a bonfire and fireworks evening and a summer festival
-
Promote community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Paddock in the Metropolitan District of Kirklees, and the surrounding area, by the provision and maintenance of facilities for playing bowls, cricket and other sports.

Enhancing existing sports:
Junior and Senior Cricket : It is hoped to restore the junior and senior cricket sections in the future
Senior Football: The sports facility is utilised by Britannia Sports FC who play in the Huddersfield & District Football League.
Pool and Snooker : The current facilities for playing these sports within the club are excellent, and all club members are encouraged to participate either as recreational or competitive team players.
Developing new sporting and recreational activities
The management board of the club continues to investigate the possibility of developing sports suitable for the facilities at West View Rise
5
Junior Football: Our senior football members have continued to hold community training during school holidays which have been successful and extremely well attended. We are very pleased to welcome the junior teams of Golcar United to utilise our facilities for the foreseeable future.
Volunteers and welfare
Our sports and community activities are entirely led by volunteers. Most volunteers are members of volunteers do not have to pay expenses, such as travel or equipment costs, where such expenses are integral to the charitable objectives of the club.
All members of the Club who work with children, young people and their families, are supported to ensure that all reasonable measures are taken to ensure that the risks of harm to children’s welfare are minimized; and where there the club; however, we also work with volunteers and officers from local schools, the University of Huddersfield and the sports development team at Kirklees Council.
We value our volunteers and ensure that their contribution is recognized. The Club is led by a committee of elected volunteers and all members and parents are asked to respect the commitment and effort of our volunteers by helping in the various activities of the club. Where possible the Club also ensures that are concerns about children and young people’s welfare, all members are assisted to take appropriate actions to address those concerns, working to agreed Club policies and procedures in full partnership with other local agencies.
Safeguarding children is vital for our volunteer led club – as with all clubs we have a duty of care towards the children with whom our members and visitors have contact. Having safeguards in place within the Club, not only protects and promotes the welfare of children, but also enhances the confidence of trustees, staff, volunteers, parents/carers and the general public. Safeguarding children is beneficial to a voluntary sports club in many ways – protecting its reputation, helping to effectively meet its objectives and protecting its finances.

Our values
Sport is a competitive activity, however, in all of our sports sections we encourage participants to play or coach within the following values framework:
-
Always play by the rules
-
Never argue with an official
-
Do not use verbal or physical abuse
-
Treat all participants in your sport as you would like to be treated
-
Support your coach, manager, team-mates and opponents
-
Participate for your own enjoyment and benefit
-
Respect all of your fellow participants
-
Always take time to thank all
Achievements and performance
Football
The Club field has been maintained to a good standard and has hosted local league cup final matches.
Pool and Snooker
Snooker and pool are well established sports at the club and consistently achieve honours in their respective local leagues. The club hosts excellent facilities for each of these indoor sports and competes at a high standard. Club members are however encouraged to use the tables for more recreational use.
Financial review and pricing policy
The club is now in a stable financial position. Attributable profit of £172 (2024 profit £7,208). Although the club is trading well it is still rather short of reserve capital after our major expenditure on roofing and toilet area repairs during the Covid lockdown. The club is fortunate to have taken out the Covid Recovery loan which as at 31[st] March 2025 stood at £5,238. The club needs to work to improve its working capital reserves to about £10,000 in the future.
7
Our pricing policy with regard to membership fees and the bar reflects our ambition of enabling all within our community, of whatever means, to participate in our activities, to attend the clubhouse and participate in sport.
Reserves policy
Reserves are needed to bridge the timing gap between spending and the receipt of resources, and to cover emergency property repairs and other expenditure together with any loss of income stream into the future. The Trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves as at 31st March 2025 would now be approximately £10,000, a level which the group is now financed by the Coronavirus Bounce Back Loan.
.
Plans for future periods
Over the coming 12 months our programme of activities and facility improvements continues to be as follows:
-
Continue the encourage the development of all types and age groups for junior football
-
Develop the ground as major venue for local league football
-
Re-establish cricket activity with headquarters at the club
-
Continue established community events at the sports ground such as our bonfire night display and our seasonal popular concerts
-
Re-establish cultural activities at the club such as musical organisations to the benefit of the local community
-
Consolidate the importance of senior football activity at the club.

Structure, governance and management
Governing document
Paddock Cricket Bowling and Athletic Club is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Article and Memorandum of Association dated 9th January 2011. It is a registered charity with the Charities Commission. Anyone over the age of 17 can become a full paying member of the Company. There are currently 130 full members of the club. Each of the full members agrees to contribute £1 in the event of the charity winding up.
Appointment of trustees
Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Articles of Association of the charity. When complete the Trustee Board consists of 11 and not more than 14 members. A trustee must be a member of the Club. Other than the Chair, the secretary and treasurer, and the nominated representatives of the bowling and cricket sections, one third of the Trustees must retire at each AGM, those longest in office retiring first. Where the number of trustees elected at the AGM falls short of the required number, the Trustees may at any time co-opt any eligible individual.
Trustee induction and training
New trustees are handed a membership pack containing the legal information concerning the charity and the duties and responsibilities of trusteeship.
Organisation
The Board of Trustees, which can have up 14 members, administers the charity. The Board meets on a monthly basis and there are sub-committees covering each of the sporting activities, finance, and club development, which also normally meet on a monthly basis.

Related parties
None of the trustees receive remuneration, other than the payment of an honorarium of £1,000 for accountancy and administration services, or received any other benefit for their work with the charity.
The charity’s wholly owned subsidiary, Paddock CB&AC Enterprises Ltd was established to operate the commercial bar at the clubhouse. Paddock CB&AC Enterprises Ltd gift aids the whole of its profits to the charity (see note 5 in the accounts)
Risk management
The Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
An annual review of the risks the charity and its subsidiary, Paddock CB&AC Enterprises may face.
-
The establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks.
-
The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified the need for the charity to build up its working capital and reserves as a protection against any future economic downturn and to identify new charitable income streams so as to minimise the dependence on funding from the subsidiary trading company.
