CITY OF YORK HOCKEY CLUB

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity and independent examiner’s report for the year ended 30 April 2024.

Structure, governance and management

The charity’s governing document is a constitution adopted 5 March 2011.

Trustees are appointed or reappointed annually at the Annual General Meeting normally held in the summer between hockey seasons.

Objectives and activities

The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of the City of York and surrounding areas, by the provision of facilities for playing hockey in the local community, who wish to participate regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or faith.

The provision of coaching, officiating, leadership and volunteering opportunities for all members and others. When trustees plan and organise club activities at executive meetings, consideration is given to the Charities Commission guidelines on public benefit to ensure they inform our decisions.

Hockey has been facilitated on a competitive and friendly basis providing opportunities for over 600 people of all genders and ages from under 10s to over 70s to participate in a health activity. This has been delivered via league matches, training sessions, and schools tournaments as well as open summer hockey gatherings and club days.

Volunteers undertake officiating duties, coaching, mentoring and official club positions in accordance with the club development strategy and action plan as accredited via the England Hockey ClubMark accreditation.

Achievements and performance

Chair Annual Report

The 2023/24 season has been my first year as Chair. Whilst membership numbers and financial figures are one barometer of the current position of the club, how much members are enjoying themselves is arguably a more important one as this impacts the club’s future. The mental benefits from playing hockey are as important as the physical benefits.

As a whole, my belief is that most members are enjoying themselves. In some areas this is bolstered by the improving quality of coaching the club is offering as a whole. This is reflected in higher attendances at training sessions. The knock-on effect is improved team morale and comradeship, which is then hopefully reflected in improved match results. Thank you to all coaches for the extra effort required to offer the improved sessions. The improved coaching comes at a financial cost at senior level and these rewards will need to be continually monitored. At junior level, we are still able to secure our coaching on a volunteer basis. In an exciting new development, the club is starting a coaching academy which will hopefully provide future stability to the club.

One thing the club relies heavily upon is volunteers. Without our own hockey facility/a pitch connected to a clubhouse, building relationships across different groups and teams in the club is very hard. These relationships would then foster an environment that more people would be willing to contribute towards. This is an area that I sense is fragile and an area that could be described as a bigger risk to the club. This year we have reignited a newsletter to improve communication, knowledge of activities across the club and hopefully build a sense of belonging to the club. I would like to thank all volunteers, past, present and future, the club cannot operate without you.

Membership numbers are broadly the same with the exception of the men’s senior section. For the last season they dropped to eight teams and should the university take up be low this forthcoming season, there is a risk that another team will be lost. Reducing numbers is largely attributable to a large group of juniors moving to university elsewhere combined with a very small intake of new junior players, players no longer being able to commit to playing regularly and retiring players.

CITY OF YORK HOCKEY CLUB

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024 (Continued)

Achievements and performance (continued)

Chair Annual Report (continued)

The aspirations of sourcing a new hockey facility have arguably taken a backward step in that a partnership with the University of York is less likely in the absence of a significant source of funds. This, along with other avenues, will continue to be pursued, but nothing is likely to happen in the short-term. St Peter’s School planning application for a new pitch was withdrawn, but we understand they will be submitting a new planning application. An extra pitch in the city will create more pitch availability in the city, even if any availability does not fit in with the club’s requirements.

The club continues to operate throughout the year offering hockey to all ages starting at toddlers through to those in retirement age. Overall, membership is evenly split between male and female members, with a heavier weighting to men at senior level and a heavier weighting to girls at junior level. Early reports for this season indicate that junior membership numbers may hit record levels. We understand we remain the largest hockey club in the north of England. An age group that our membership numbers dip is when a number of our juniors leave the city to further their education elsewhere. As a two university city, we should be able to plug the gap. This year we have a different membership agreement with the University of York students and it is hoped this will increase the number of players from that age group playing regular senior hockey.

England Hockey initiatives such as Hockey Heroes and Back to Hockey continue to be offered and England Hockey recently used the club’s “Club Day” as a case study for all others to replicate. Indoor Hockey continues to develop within the club at both junior and senior level producing strong results. The club continues to offer holiday camps for juniors and has hosted more specialist courses from ex-international players for both junior and senior players plus specialist goal-keeping courses from external experts. Coaching is offered to all local schools and whilst the take up is not as high as we would hope, those that the coaches visit regularly book them for the following term and/or year. The club enters tournaments for mixed hockey and both ladies and mens masters hockey of varying age groups.

In terms of performance, the junior section continues to excel at all levels and produces players who go on to represent their country. There has been another league restructure in the senior Yorkshire divisions aiming to reduce match day travel. The club prides itself on focusing on participation so that players of all skill levels have an equal opportunity to play and enjoy the sport. A player in a bottom team should be offered the same opportunities, where practical, as a player in a top team. It is important that our teams are in appropriately skilled leagues and covering the full skill spectrum. Whilst we are in favour of reduced travel distances, we are arguing against leagues that have a large skill range, therefore including multiple teams from a club, and against leagues that have a reduced number of teams should there be alternative solutions. Whilst we think this a restructure too far negatively affecting the lower teams, clubs have agreed to monitor how the season performs and review at the end of the season.

In conclusion, the club remains in good health and the executive committee, supported by all volunteers, continue to work hard making changes to ensure this remains the case going forwards.

Paul Rowntree, Chair

Chair of Senior Hockey Report

It has been a good season for CoYHC, with the Ladies’ 1s rebuilding after losing several key players to boarding school and university and the Men’s 1s finding their shape under new leadership.

Overall City of York HC teams held their own across the Divisions with only the Men’s 3s and Ladies’ 3s being relegated. However, considering there has been yet another League reorganisation more teams have moved divisions so it will be a new start for many others too. Despite finishing in the bottom spot the Ladies’ 7s, in their 3rd season secured another win and scored 9 goals. With an influx of new Club Squad players at the end of the season, and over the summer, we are hoping to build on this success as we go into the new season. Both the Ladies’ 7s and Men’s 8s teams will remain ‘supported’ teams, as we hope to keep the Men’s 8s team alive and kicking.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024 (Continued)

Chair of Senior Hockey Report (continued)

Membership has remained constant though, for the second year running, more players than ever chose to play less regularly this season.

We have run three Back to Hockey sessions and this has encouraged new and past players to pick up a stick.

As a club we are very grateful to our coaches and their teams, as well as the Men’s and Ladies’ Chairs, John Barrett, Em Gee and Heather MacDonald who help bring the teams together and work tirelessly behind the scenes.

As we look towards 2024/25 we welcome Gawaine Hogg to the CoYHC coaching team, as Men’s Performance Squad Lead Coach. We look forward to working with him next season. Heather MacDonald continues to lead the Ladies’ Section coaching team, as Performance Squad, Intermediate Squad and Club Squad Lead Coach.

The Roscoe Anderson Umpire Academy had several graduates this season and continues to sign up new recruits, producing our umpires of the future. The mentors are working regularly with both junior and senior academy umpires.

And last but never least a huge thank you to all the Umpires, Captains and volunteers that make hockey happen every week.

Jenni Fitton, Chair of Senior Hockey

Chair of Junior Hockey Report

I opened last year’s report with the success of the under 16 girls on the national stage. This season it has been the boy’s turn!

Following yet another competition structure re-jig, the U 16s now have only one shot at a national title, with the league and cup having been combined. City of York duly progressed to the Tier 1 National Final and were within 3 minutes of the gold medal to deprive Surbiton of their expected gold. It was not to be, and equaliser and a loss in the shootout meant City of York had to settle for silver. It’s still a great achievement for a club from the north with no facilities, and shows we have the capability to create the Right Environment for each athlete. They also reached the Indoor National Finals.

The u16 girls also reached the T1 National Final, and the U14 girls reached the league and championship finals, resulting in so many journeys up and down to Nottingham Hockey Centre that surely the parents should qualify for some loyalty reward.

Individual successes include Seb Mortimer’s reaching England’s under 16 boys’ squad for a second time, captaining the team on at least one outing.

The U12 boys also took a trip to Nottingham for the In2Hockey Championship National Final, gaining valuable experience of actually having some competition after a clean sweep of all titles in the Yorkshire & North East Region. The girls narrowly missed out on their first trip to Nottingham falling short to Slazengers on a penalty stroke decider.

These are just the successes of the top teams; City of York provides for every young hockey player from those eyeing up a future GB jersey, to those who love some social exercise while chatting about Minecraft.

Many of the young people also play hockey within the senior section, from the Badgers development team up to the men’s and ladies 1st teams.

CITY OF YORK HOCKEY CLUB

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024 (Continued)

Chair of Junior Hockey Report (continued)

We continue to offer competitive hockey to over 350 young people, from age 4-18, and we are the largest and most consistent club in both the YYHL and YNE leagues. Five U10 girls teams and 3 U14 girls teams are a remarkable achievement for their hard-working coaches. To them, who give their time freely and voluntarily, to further youth hockey.

The Roscoe Umpire Academy continues to offer non-playing development opportunity, thanks to Jenni Fitton’s hard work and innovation, and for the 2024-2025 season will be joined by Lily & Heather’s coaching academy, allowing the development of young (and old!) coaches. Five young people have gained their Level 1 umpiring qualification through this scheme, with several more on the pathway.

Outside of league and championship competitions other activity included welcoming the Watsonian’s touring team from Scotland, while the U12 boys toured to visit them at Easter, hosted a summer tournament for U13s, participated in the summer Leeds Adel U8s tournament, ran social mixed sessions for U11s, several holiday camps, two hockey Heroes programmes, skills sessions for older players, and welcomed Stickwise’s Callum Giles who delivered a very successful drag-flicking session.

Looking forward to the next season there’s plenty to be excited about, with a record 450 players signed up, and a plethora of new coaches coming through.

This ends my final season as junior chair, and junior hockey feels a considerably more active place than it did when I started. The junior programme at York could not be as successful as it is without the significant efforts of all our volunteer coaches, parent helpers and every single member of the junior committee. Extra special thanks go to Heather, her mum, Jenni, Ollie, James, Paul & Lily.

Mimah Eve, Chair of Junior Hockey

Clubhouse Report

The 2023/34 season saw us purchasing new tables to help ease the setting up and packing away for the council sewing classes that the clubhouse has accommodated for the last few years. These classes took place over three days of the week during term time with the occasional added sessions through the school holidays. Though as we move into the new season, these classes will no longer run from the clubhouse as the council have had to make budget cuts and will be utilising a council run facility.

Fridays at the clubhouse are a hub of activity as Hockey Hotshots have entered their third year of running their morning group from the clubhouse during term time. We also continue to host the local senior citizens group on a Friday afternoon, this runs throughout the year, only breaking for Easter and Christmas weekends.

We have still not returned to pre covid levels of people returning to the clubhouse after games - though events continue to run on a bi-monthly basis. More events will be planned for the new season to include both the junior and senior sections of the club.

Scutts potatoes continue to donate the potatoes weekly for club teas, which are proving to be popular.

It is hoped that the new season will improve the attendance at the clubhouse both after games and for events, and we are advertising the clubhouse’s availability to hire out, both for short term and one off events and long term bookings.

We are also looking into grants to help with the refurbishment of the clubhouse with the hopes that it will become a more attractive venue.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024 (Continued)

Secretary Report

The executive committee continues to meet on a monthly basis with most of the executive committee being present every time.

All emails being received are being forwarded to the relevant member of the committee/club and continue to come in at a steady rate throughout the year, getting busier at the start of the season.

Jess Wittwer, Club Secretary

Treasurer’s report

Financial review

The total deficit for the year on a cash basis was £6,233 (2023: deficit £79,121), this includes net fundraising income of £10,524. The surplus on Senior funds was £1,468 (2023: deficit £1,828) and Junior funds was a surplus of £5,885 (2023: surplus £10,524) with the deficit coming from the clubhouse.

However, this does not reflect the overall picture accurately, with the impact of the largest cost being pitch hire and invoices being received after the year end. The amount outstanding pitch hire at the year-end was £18,686 (2023: £13,613).

As a Club, we again held membership fees at the same level as the 2022-23 season, however we have seen increases in match and competition fees and pitch hire costs have again increased at all the venues used in York.

We have reviewed our membership fees for 24-25 to address the continued financial pressures faced by the club, as all costs continue to rise. We have decided to increase membership fees across the Junior section, which in the main have been held at the same level since pre-Covid.

Reserves policy

Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income, to cover any unplanned emergency clubhouse or kit repairs and other expenditure which may occur unexpectedly; they should also cover any known future capital expenditure plans. The Club needs to maintain balances within our funds to ensure there is a certain level of working capital to protect the continuity of our core activities. This will ensure that we are still able to provide facilities for playing hockey in the local community.

CITY OF YORK HOCKEY CLUB

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024 (Continued)

Treasurer’s report (continued)

The trustees maintain that unrestricted capital expenditure year on year should be achievable from within the current year’s income received from membership fees, match fees and clubhouse rent and set the annual budget within these parameters. However, trustees also recognise the need to maintain reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to around 9 months of unrestricted expenditure, to cover unforeseen events.

At 30 April 2024, the Club had Restricted funds of £5,347 (2023: £4,026) which have to be spent on what the fundraising was for or what the donor requested. There were Unrestricted funds of £79,145, this included designated funds of Junior Development Fund, £26,995 and Roscoe Umpire Academy £20,473, leaving general unrestricted funds of £31,677.

The investment with St James Place of £90,000 made in 22-23 to finance our own pitch development in the future has seen an increase in value to £96,554, (2023: £85,678) after investment fees. The investments are in diversified unit trusts.

Fundraising is important to the Club, and I would like to thank Jenni Fitton for her tireless efforts to secure grants for the Club. In 23-24 we secured grants from Harrowells, Centrica, Nestle and York Council covering support for equipment, kit and back to hockey. We are very grateful to the team who took part in the Dragon boat race to help raise some additional funds for equipment. We have also received fundraising income from some of the Junior teams, who with the help of their parents, have sold food and drinks to raise funds for the Club. I would like to extend our thanks as a Committee to all who have been involved.

Jennifer Wood, Treasurer

Charity Structure

Work is ongoing to change the legal structure of the Charity from a standard unincorporated charity to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). This will be a priority for the 24-25 season, which unfortunately due to personal reasons, was delayed last year.

Approved on behalf of the trustees on 21 September 2024
