**Moorside Cricket & Bowling Club YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (Cont.)**
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
## **Governing document**
Moorside Cricket and Bowling Club was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 27th March 2013. Subsequently, it was registered as a charity with the Charity Commission on 30th July 2013. On 31st October 2020, it had approximately 370 members.
## **Appointment of trustees**
As set out in the company articles, there can be a minimum of seven and a maximum of fourteen trustees. At this, the seventh annual general meeting, one third of the directors retire from office or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to one-third, must retire from office. As two directors were appointed during the year, they will automatically retire and seek reappointment by the members. Members are invited to nominate trustees prior to the AGM. Generally, trustees have been involved with the charity for some time and are aware of their rights and obligations as trustees and they are made aware of the plans and financial position of the charity upon appointment.
## **Organisation**
The board of trustees aims to meet at least twelve times per year, or more as business requires; all major decisions, both financial and non-financial, are discussed at these meetings before being put into effect. Due to the restrictions associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, the frequency of meetings was reduced. However, trustees remained in communication through email.
## **Subsidiaries**
The Charity has a wholly owned subsidiary: Moorside C&BC Community Interest Company (CIC) which was incorporated on 28[th] October 2013. Moorside C&BC CIC was established to carry out commercial trading activities chiefly: the operation of the social facilities of the Club; its bar; and the hosting and organisation of entertainment for the Club’s members and the local community. Any surpluses generated by the subsidiary are covenanted, through gift-aid, to the charity.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and this review is regularly updated at trustees' meetings. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks, both financial and non-financial.
## **Objects and activities**
The Objects of the Charity are specifically restricted to the following:
- i. the promotion, encouragement and organisation of all-age community participation in healthy recreation and sporting activity for the benefit of the inhabitants of the village of Moorside, Oldham; the Metropolitan District of Oldham; and the surrounding areas;
- ii. the advancement of the education of children and young people undergoing and not undergoing full-time education through participation in active sport;
- iii. the relief of old age through the promotion of physical activity for elderly people; and iv. the provision and maintenance of public recreational facilities for the playing of crown green bowls, cricket and other sports in the interests of social welfare.
This provision may be amended, only, by special resolution and then only with the prior, written consent of the Charity Commission.
## **Achievements and performance**
Due to the restrictions imposed by HM Government and National Sport Governing Bodies because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trustees are only able to report on very limited competitive and non-competitive sporting activities.

## **Moorside Cricket & Bowling Club YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (Cont.**
## **Crown Green Bowls**
During the 2020 season, the British Crown Green Bowling Association advised all national and local Bowls leagues to suspend all competitions and leagues for the 2020 season. During “lockdown” and after the Club was allowed to open in July, a number of Club members used the bowling green for recreational purposes. They ensured that this was done safely, observing the guidance on sanitisation and social distancing throughout.
## **Cricket**
All league cricket was suspended until late July. The Greater Manchester Cricket League (GMCL) suspended the normal league structure and established geographically local leagues to reduce travelling. The Club entered a 1[st] XI Saturday Team and a 2[nd] XI Sunday team; and entered and came top of the local weekday evening 15 over competition as “Moorside Mavericks” without losing a match. Outcomes for the Saturday and Sunday competitions were as follows:
1[st] XI League Winners 2020 Moorside Mavericks (GMCL15) League Winners 2020 2[nd] XI Runners-Up 2020
The Club was pleased to acknowledge sponsorship from local businesses. All three senior men’s teams benefited from kit sponsorship again in 2020.
The women’s cricket section continued to expand. Although regular practice sessions took place from midJune, there was some limited opportunity for competitive cricket. The level of enthusiasm amongst the squad was high and they looked forward to a possible winter indoor competition. Kit sponsorship was already in place ready for the season; and the Club is grateful to the four companies involved.
Junior Cricket was similarly affected by the restrictions. No competitive cricket was played but evening practice sessions resumed in August. Maintaining the interest and commitment of children aged 6-14 is always a challenge and we welcomed the assistance of senior women players to kickstart practice sessions again.
## **Capital Renewals**
The development of the Club’s facilities was impossible due to significantly reduced income during the year.
## **Communications**
The Club’s website, using the _Pitchero_ cricket website programme, continues to provide news and information including club news, social events, match reports and photographs. The Club’s Facebook page continues to be very successful as a means of communication with over 1,000 “likes” reached during the summer.
## **Plans for future periods**
There is a clearly recognised need to sustain and expand the numbers of children and young people engaged in cricket through practice, coaching and competitive matches. The trustees are encouraged by the interest shown in the newly established women’s Cricket section and will support its expansion in the coming years. As always, the Trustees will concentrate on the charity's objectives and activities. The Trustees are mindful of the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and are confident that the work of the charity fulfils the public benefit test. The charity’s trustees continue to be especially grateful to its volunteers who work tirelessly for it.

**Moorside Cricket & Bowling Club YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (Cont.)**
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It had established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be approximately equal to six months' expenditure having regard also to any contingencies that might arise and any possible downturn in income. Despite a very difficult year, financially, the trustees have been able to sustain this position.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities**
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare accounts that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the financial year. In doing so, the trustees are required: to select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and prepare the accounts on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Moorside Cricket & Bowling Club YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MOORSIDE CRICKET & BOWLING**
## **CLUB**
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 October 2020 which are set out on pages 6 - 11.
## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial accounts 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 statement below
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT**
In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention:
- 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 section 386; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 section 396 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020**
## 1. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year.
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds comprise accumulated surpluses and deficits on general funds that are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and that have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restrictions imposed by donors or the purpose of the appeal. At present all funds are unrestricted.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of gifts, donations and membership fees and is included in full in the SOFA upon receipt.
Income from grants is recognised when entitlement is certain and any conditions attached to receipt of the grant are wholly within the control of the Club. Capital grants are released to income as the assets to which they relate are depreciated.
Any assets donated to the Club are included at their estimated value where the amounts involved are material, reasonably quantifiable and measurable. No value has been attributed to the contribution of the members acting as volunteers in asisting in the staging of games and events.
Investment income is included when receivable.

## 1. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
Ground and cricket expenditure relates to the direct costs of maintaining the cricket pitch and bowling green and the other land and outbuildings owned by the Club. It also includes the incidental costs arising from staging matches.
Charitable expenditure includes the depreciation of the tangible fixed assets owned by the Club and set off against this is the release of any capital grant funding received in respect of the acquisition of certain fixed assets.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include professional fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
## **Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated to write off their cost less any residual value over their estimated useful lives as follows:
