Comments from the Chair

The Twickenham Brunswick Club has been busy this year. Attendance has been booming and the age range and experience levels in all activities has been growing and deepening. We have also sadly to report on the passing of Julie Brown, a core member of Twickenham Brunswick Club for Young People.

Julie had been an active member of the club for many decades, initially through her brother Trevor’s involvement. Through Trevor’s attendance at Twickenham Brunswick as a boy, Julie joined the Management Committee sometime after she retired from Bentalls and by 2005, she had agreed to take up the duties of Treasurer. Julie was an unwavering source of support and enthusiasm in her interactions with all members of the club during her voluntary service over many decades. She applied her professional expertise to facilitating the Club’s corporate governance activities. This included managing leases, administering changes in the club’s organisational structure from an unincorporated charity to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and administering a range of other such activities. She worked tirelessly to build relationships with our key stakeholders such as the London Borough of Richmond, our honorary solicitors and honorary trustees.

From my own perspective as vice chair to Lawrie Jones and then subsequently, as chair, Julie had a seemingly encyclopaedic knowledge of the club. She was generous with her time and had a real gift of being able to explain detailed issues in a way that brought everyone up to a level of clarity and awareness. Our current Treasurer Alex fondly remembers going to Julie’s house so that she could hand over the treasurer responsibilities to him many years ago, upon which he was presented with an A3 ledger book, which Julie had been meticulously keeping up to date for years!

She had great attention to detail and would tactfully, with great diplomacy, catch and suggest resolutions to gaps in our efforts to implement management duties. She provided constructive suggestions on how to address issues and where we might find solutions. We are fortunate to have had her expertise to call upon in such depth. She will be remembered with great fondness by all of us and we will sorely miss her guidance and good counsel.

Twickenham Brunswick chose to respect Julie’s wishes and arranged to make donations to her preferred charities of the Heart Foundation and Cancer Research. On behalf of Twickenham Brunswick Management Committee, our condolences were passed to Alec, Trevor and the family.

On other updates, I have set these out below through our focus on our community, our partners and our Club.

Our Community

2

As in previous years, we have seen an increase in all activities, with a steady flow in attendance at both Table Tennis and Boxing Club sessions. The trend for increasing numbers of youngsters to join boxing sessions endorses our approach as a Club to focus our work on helping our communities thrive through physical activity. The Club acts as a focal point for many, supporting them in their everyday lives and setting up a welcoming and inclusive space. We offer a range of subscription options that enables attendees of all abilities and means a route to attend that best suits them.

Table Tennis

In the Table Tennis Club, our Junior table tennis section has made great strides forward. Attendance figures for our table tennis sessions have beaten our previous record season in 2018/19. This year, we entered four teams into the South West Middlesex Table Tennis League, three teams in the National Cadet League and four teams in the National Junior League. Our Over 50’s table tennis sessions are running well and frequently, older generations come and play table tennis with others and socialise with drinks and biscuits. We continue our association with Teddington TTC, Age UK, Nishikawa Karate and Pedal Project and welcome Ace Trampolining as of January 2024. Although our membership/ attendance fees have not increased, we have again seen a significant rise in income this year, reflecting the good numbers that are attending our sessions. Bookings for children’s Parties have increased and the party venue seems to be much appreciated by parents.

Boxing

In the Boxing club, since COVID, numbers have been on a steady rise, with Club open 6- 7 days a week. This has been a positive development, with very good feedback from parents, especially those with mental health issues. Juniors’ numbers are back to between 10 & 20 per session as are seniors & keep fitters, with monthly numbers of visits averaging 250. We have 12 boys who can box for the club & our first girl representing the club, all boxing for England Boxing. One of our boys who started at the club aged 8 has now just turned professional. This is a testament to the standard of coaching we provide and gives others something to aim for in the future.

Our Partners

We have thriving relationships with our regular groups who let our facilities, some of which have been in place for many years. This includes table tennis for Age UK members, cycling proficiency for Pedal Power students, Pilates, Amyand Chapel, Ace Trampolining, Teddington Table Tennis Club and other local groups. We continue to build networking activities, to give our members the opportunity to participate in different types of competitions. To reflect this, the Club was pleased to host the ELCC regional table tennis cup for boys. We would like to thank D Rahbani for his generous donation of the t-shirts for the junior table tennis squad, which they wore with confidence. We would also like to thank SportsEd for supporting our club through provision of a grant. We have used their grant to purchase equipment for both the boxing club and table tennis club activities.

3

Our volunteer boxing club trainers continue to support the training of our members. Twickenham Brunswick is firmly committed to developing its members and its volunteers, so ensured the volunteers received their first aid training and certifications and the required DBS checks to work with children. The Members of the Management Committee have also submitted themselves for DBS checks, given the nature of the club’s activities.

Our Club

We maintained arrangements with the Mall School, should they need to use the Club when the weather means that their games sessions have to be cancelled. Skylarks also continue to use the club so Ed of Pedal Project can run cycling sessions with pupils who have a disability.

Governance

Governance of the Club is handled by the Management Committee, which operates on a virtual basis, drawing on support from a small group of dedicated volunteers. The volunteers play a key role of the “glue” that keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Sharon Phua gives dedicated and tireless effort to manage lettings and bookings, additionally providing general support for the running of the Club. The Club Leaders, David Paulowski for Table Tennis and Ford Davey for Boxing, continue to inspire and train generations of attendees. It is often the case that youngsters attend, develop their love of sport as youngsters. They then return in their adult years to reconnect with the Club and bring their own children, to discover the magic. Some of this commitment and enjoyment has flowed through into our new website. I am pleased to report that the Club’s website has been refreshed. I am sure visitors to the site will note the more modern style, which reflects well the current nature of the club and better informs our members, users of the club and the public.

Maintenance of the club

We have some items which are routine in nature for any business. They are mentioned here to highlight the changing nature and significant impact of the environment in which the Club operates.

· Insurance

Significant costs are incurred to cover the Club’s insurance, which is reviewed each year for the nature of the cover it provides. The Treasurer works hard to ensure the service we obtain is appropriate and at the level of cover necessary for our Club.

Replacement of our minibus continues to be an important task. ULEZ charges in respect of the vehicle’s emissions are applied by default when using the minibus to drive to venues within the ULEZ area, taking our club competitors to tournaments. As the minivan ages gracefully, matters such as forgetting to turn the lights off, or delaying a low-level service due to other competing priorities, become more problematic and less advisable. A replacement minibus, even if purchased second hand, is still in the region of £40k-£50k. We are seeking to gain funds through launch of a crowd funding request,

4

so if anyone would like to try their hand to help us launch such a funding campaign, please get in touch with our committee members, Alia or Madeleine.

· Collecting Payments and Banking

The club has been working hard to shift to more automated finance procedures and enable members to pay their subscriptions through card payments, rather than by having to have cash. We have installed an iZettle device in both the table tennis and boxing clubs. For the behind-the-scenes transactions, we have strengthened governance of our routine banking transactions. After liaising with our banking provider, we have been able to properly enable our Treasurer with full access as a signatory to the club’s bank accounts, alongside the other signatories. The aim is to build better shared oversight, so maintaining good governance. The benefit of moving to automated processes is the increasing likelihood of members being able to use payment cards for secure payments, with more streamlined transactions for the Club, uploading seamlessly into central books of accounts.

· Health and Safety

We have an ongoing programme to keep our facilities in a reasonable condition, always taking into account our very limited funds. We have worked on ensuring that the required electrical inspections and the fire extinguisher certifications are all up to date and have ensured that the hall’s floor has been polished to maintain it. It is the case that some items can continue in use with ad hoc maintenance, but eventually, underlying conditions will necessitate more significant effort, such as seeking a solution for the ventilation issues in the Boxing Club. Our car park surface, despite having such ad hoc maintenance, needs constant vigilance to maintain the surface and avoid large holes. We are grateful to Dave Paulowski for his careful application of cement, ballast, cold tarmac and some hard labour when necessary.

In common with the continuing fluctuation of energy supplies, the Management Committee maintains an ongoing review of energy charges, seeking to minimise charges and switch suppliers where there may be a more appropriate service level for the club.

Our Thanks

It is important to mention that the Club could not operate without the strenuous efforts of our two club leaders, the Table Tennis Club Leader, Dave Paulowski, and the Boxing Club Leader, Ford Davey. I am grateful to the Club Leaders and members of the Management Committee for their continuing support and great attention to detail in all our endeavours. We are keen to bring new ideas and perspectives into the Club, so if you are interested in getting involved, please contact either Dave Paulowski or Ford Davey, or any member of the Management Committee. Through their efforts, the efforts of the volunteers, and indeed all of our partners, members and our Club visitors, we have a thriving, vibrant local organisation that provides a place for interaction, physical exercise and a feeling of being part of a community. I thank all of you for your support and engagement in our Club.

The History Of Twickenham Brunswick Boys’ Club

In 1925, a young man watching some teenagers kicking a football about on Twickenham Green suggested they ought to join or form a team. Before long, that team was a reality playing football under the banner of “Twickenham Rangers”, with the young man, Colvin Docker, as their manager. They quickly realised that they needed a meeting place. Mr Docker persuaded the local branch of World War One veterans, “Toc H” to allow the boys to meet in their rooms at the Church Institute in First Cross Road. Here there was an important name change and Twickenham Boys’ Club was born.

In the succeeding years up to the outbreak of World War Two in 1939, the Club moved its headquarters several times, ending in the Drill Hall in Aragon Road. With war imminent, the Club received its marching orders. In Mr Docker’s absence on active service, the acting club leader Mr Hartley had the presence of mind to contact Fortescue House School. The Headmaster, Mr Pearce, generously agreed to store the equipment and furniture “for the duration”.

For short periods when Mr Docker was here in England, he resuscitated the Boys Club. After peace had been declared, he used his good offices with the Air Ministry to persuade them to give us the dining halls of RAF Bentley Priory, to become the headquarters of the Boys’ Club. A site was required, 7

Table Tennis Club Leader’s Report

Club Nights and Activities

During 2023/24, our Junior table tennis section has grown and made great strides forward. Every session we hold is extremely busy, usually with all nine tables being utilised. Our attendance figures of 5500 for our table tennis sessions have beaten our previous record season of 4838 in 2018/19.

This year we entered four teams into the Southwest Middlesex Table Tennis League, that is one team more than last year. We entered three teams in the National Cadet League and four in the National Junior League.

On Wednesday morning, our own Over 50’s table tennis sessions are running well. On occasion, eight players attend, when the older generations can come and play table tennis and socialise with drinks and biscuits.

We continue our association with Teddington TTC, Age UK, Nishikawa Karate and Pedal Project, who regularly book the club to run their sessions. and welcome Ace trampolining as of January 2023 who now operate in the club on our Wednesday evenings.

For yet another year we have managed to keep our club membership /attendance fees at the same level although our income has risen through more regular attendance by members.

Although our membership/ attendance fees have not increased we have again seen a significant rise in income this year reflecting the good numbers that are attending our sessions.

Bookings for children’s Parties have increased as we are a centre recommended by party activity provider Lazer Lions. The party venue seems to be much appreciated by parents as it provides; a great space that can be blacked out, tables and chairs for party food, the use of the kitchen and we are always on hand to be as accommodating as possible to ensure that the parties run smoothly.

We have continued to offer the club as a venue for the Mall school should they need to use it when the weather means that their games sessions have to be cancelled. Skylarks also continue to use the club so Ed of Pedal Project can run cycling sessions with pupils who have a disability.
