Achievements and Performance i DIETS 2... REEmE | What a very trying 20 months it has been | throughout the pandemic. After a very promising start to the 2019/20 year, | Summary of the main mre December saw us yet again plunged into achievements of the charity, |... ~ a full national lockdown, Covid identifying the difference the 3 responsible once again. We had charity’s work has made to | recovered some of ourlosses fromthe | the circumstances of its .| first lockdown in the very short time we ° beneficiaries and any wider were open. This time other factors other benefits to society as a than Covid were going to give us whole. problems. During a routine inspection of the building, it was noticed that the ceiling panels were delaminating, Property Services were informed and an inspection of the suspended ceiling proved to be costly and nothing to do with panels delaminating. While carrying out the examination it was found that the ceiling hanging supports had corroded, some had parted. The ceiling was condemned as unsafe, likely to collapse anytime. The thought of what could have : happened, and the outcome doesn’t bear ‘ thinking about.

The Covid restrictions were eased in April and the go ahead was given to open outdoor rinks under ‘Bowls Wales’ regulations as laid down by the Welsh Government. Unfortunately, due to our ceiling problems we had no facilities. | Our outdoor green had to remain shut. | The artificial outdoor green has been causing some concern. The cost of upkeep has risen considerably in the last few years. It is a very specialised process which can be handled by very few companies. Novice maintenance in the past had not worked and had proved more costly in the long run. Maintenance costs are now five times more per year than the income it provides. Another factor is that most members won’t use

to bowls. It is also laughable it is meant to be an all-weather green. In wet weather : it becomes a huge puddle. Our lease | States as part of the ongoing rental of the building we must provide the outdoor | facility. We (Trustees) want to go one | better than ‘just provide,’ we think we can get the best! The process has been | agreed and negotiations started with the | County.Council. and Dales, the bowls company which are ongoing to supply oF tee the latest all weather Australian green that could be used all the year round (and ; why not) With, no damage to bowls, and a _ | maintenance cost which isa fifth of the. _| present upkeep. We have eighteen years left on our lease; if we carry on with the present maintenance programme, we will have spent nearly twice the intended investment. This improvement is wanted badly, and it wants doing now! Throughout lockdown the building still consumed money (electricity being the main cost) running the building | emergency backup systems, fire alarms, burglar alarms, and heating for frost protection. Gas is used for heating. Water | had to be run off from all outlets weekly in case of legionaries’ disease. Hire 7 contracts had to be paid. The income é | from both 2020 and 2021 has been affected. | | Our losses from income and feserves are approximately £30,000. Continued................. With the financial information available at the time, we | intended to keep membership costs down to the minimum, with rink costs : held at the same price for the fifth year in : a row. A rise in the membership fee which now includes a locker meant prices rose by £10.00 per year for members. All decided before the present price increases. Members have asked how about concessionary payments for rinks. With the loss of income from all | areas of the operation, room hire, restaurant sales, short mat hire, and | bowls rink hire also with membership numbers down by nearly a third, plus much needed investment for the future, it is financially impossible to consider such | aincreasemove atin theelectricitymoment.Withpricestheof 30%,recentthe second increase in the lockdown period, we will need to reconsider part of our , present pricing structure in the very near future. Another worry is the volunteer situation which is not allowing us to move forward. To entertain the various
are the bread and butter of the Club we need volunteers on those days to help. It is the same people coming forward | offering their time, all of whom havea life and family outside bowls. They give their time for you to enjoy a game of bowls all | year. We ask you to give up a day, very, very occasionally to help. ‘Covid Rules’ gave us a few headaches and while on the subject of volunteers | would like to thank all volunteers, trustees, and helpers, who have been involved through sean lockdown in keeping the place | shipshape, and making sure it would be | ready and available whena bit of : * | normality returned. Members please note...... without volunteers you have no Club. The membership must start taking more of an interest especially in member recruitment. We need everyone to promote the bowls facility to family, friends and neighbours. A good chance : to advertise the club, and for people to see how well the sport is played and maybe try for themselves, would be the All Wales ‘Champion of Champions.’ The | Club has the privilege of hosting this event on the weekend of the 14th and 15th of January 2022. A good opportunity | for members to promote and recruit. Junior membership is free. Curtis Rance, |. ri _ has stepped up as Club Captain and | making a very good job of it. We wish him well; | hope you will give him your full | support. | would like to thank everyone for their support and efforts to making Bro Myrddin bowls club the finest in West Wales.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS
| report on the accounts of the Bro Myrddin Bowls Club, which are set out on pages 1 & 2.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an Independent Examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act.
To follow the procedures lain down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145 of the Act) and to state whether any particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent Examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required of 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 Examiners Statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention: (1) Which give me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: To keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, and To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records have not been met.
|
(2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
