Trustee selection methods Elected by club membership (eg. appointed by, elected by)

Additional governance issues (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:

We are a small local village cricket club and as such our organisational structure is relatively straightforward. As a club we operate within the English Cricket Board, Bassetlaw and District Cricket League and Nottinghamshire Cricket Board and abide by their regulations where relevant. We currently have seven Charity Trustees who manage the charity to ensure that our charitable objects are met. As a Club we have separated out cricket activities from the management of the Clubhouse and fundraising activities, which are now managed by Blyth Cricket Social Club. The Social Club is a not for profit organisation with money raised being passed on to the CIO. The Social Club has a separate management committee to that of the CIO and has separate meetings and minutes.

Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

The object of the CIO is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in particular by the provision of facilities for the playing of cricket.

Blyth Cricket Club is a traditional village amateur cricket club where we aim to provide healthy recreation for all by playing cricket in an open and supportive environment. As in previous years we have continued to work hard to be an approachable club to attract new senior and junior players and those who want to take part in cricket by being part of the club as junior volunteers, ground maintenance etc. for future seasons.

We have continued to run three senior teams – First XI, second XI and Sunday teams. We have a developing women and girls section playing softball and hardball. At the junior level we have run a ‘Kwik’ cricket softball team for our younger juniors (from about 6 years to 11) and an under 11 and under 13 hardball team.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

We have matches at the senior level Saturdays and several Sundays throughout the season. Junior matches mostly take place during the week with most summer term weeks seeing at least one junior match and often two. We also ran hardball and softball training evening sessions every week. Our Friday night softball training sessions continue to be popular but there is room to improve on this as numbers are down from last year. We have approximately 25 children registered as part of our junior section.

As part of the ‘Kwik’ cricket tournament in 2019 we again hosted an event for other local clubs taking part. Approximately 100 juniors took part in that event from all across the Bassetlaw area.

The Clubhouse bar and fundraising activities are managed by Blyth Cricket Social Club. The Social Club is managed separately from the Cricket Club but raises funds exclusively for the Cricket Club (CIO). Activities that do not fall under the charitable object of playing cricket are managed by the Social Club. This includes our main fundraising activity, Blyth village ‘Bonfire Night’. Bonfire Night 2019 was successful with many people from the local community attending (we raised approximately £2K).

All Charity Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when exercising their powers and duties. Public benefit is considered and reviewed at Trustee meetings in order to fulfil their legal duty.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

Blyth Cricket Club, Nottinghamshire is entirely managed and run by volunteers. Without our volunteers, from groundsmen to junior supervisors the club would not be able to function, or indeed exist. We are grateful for the contribution of our volunteers this year and in the future.

This year approximately 20 different people have volunteered for the club across a wide range of activities from coaching juniors to helping run fundraising events such as the village Bonfire Night.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We have registered 35 Senior members to Blyth CC this year. At the last AGM our chair stood down due to ill-health and our Secretary was elected Chair. Jack Tarr was also elected Chair of the Trustee Committee.

The First team was promoted to Division 2 in the Bassetlaw & District Cricket League. The Second team remain in Division 7 of the same league.

Women’s cricket continued to develop this year. The women’s softball team took part in four softball festivals with one being hosted by Blyth. Several of our women players are taking part in the senior training sessions and several junior girls taking part in women’s softball matches. A total of seven women have also played league matches for the 2[nd] XI or Sunday teams. A North Notts indoor softball winter league was set up with Blyth fielding a women’s team. Women and Girls cricket continues to develop quickly with support from the ECB – Jemima Dalton is now the East Midlands Region Women’s League chair (this is for hardball and softball cricket). The Sunday cricket team did play some games this year but reduced in number. This team plays ‘friendly cricket’ with an aim to encourage younger players and more mature ‘returners’ to enjoy playing the game and develop their cricketing skills in a more relaxed atmosphere than league cricket. We registered 30 Junior members at Blyth CC, with at least one responsible adult per junior as a member of the Social Club. This was about the same as last year. Our age range was 5 to 15 years. Due to lack of available coaches we have not advertised for more junior members again this year which explains the relativley low numbers. We do now have two new qualified coaches available to coach our junior section so are looking to increase junior numbers going forward. Upgrading of clubhouse – the roof and electrical work was completed last year and to fund this we applied to the England Wales Cricket Trust for an interest free loan. We were successful and obtained a loan of £12,190 over 5 years. The roof work total project cost was £13,590 with £1,400 of Partnership funding provided by the Club. We continue to pay off our loan on time on a quarterly basis.

The shower room in the changing rooms was upgraded. Internal cladding was replaced with new carpet tiles throughout the building. Some external woodwork was also replaced and the whole building repainted. Although this building really needs replacing these latest works do bring it up to a good standard and will extend its life span by at least another 5 years. We do not yet have suitable changing facilities for women/girls and the disabled. We constructed a disabled ramp to the main clubhouse to ensure that this facility was accessible to wheelchair/mobility scooter users. The concrete are around the clubhouse was repaired. We need to ensure that our toilet facilities are brought up to standard and are accessible. Taps in all toilets have been replaced with push taps so they can’t be left running.

Section D Achievements and erformance p There was a possibility of obtaining English & Wales Cricket funding for a new kitchen area in the clubhouse to be ready for the 2020 season. This work was ongoing as the year ended. The mobile nets purchased at the end of last year continued to be well used. Our main fundraising event is ‘Bonfire Night’. This is a Blyth ‘village event’ and as such we welcome many people who do not directly play cricket to our club. This event is extremely weather-. Bonfire Night was a successful event and was well attended from those in the local community. We also took part in a table top sale in Barnby Memorial Hall, and ran a Senior Presentation evening. At most senior home matches we had a ‘football card’ draw to raise funds. We have held raffles at all our fundraising events but this year we again ran the ‘Raise the Roof’ ‘licenced’ raffle to raise increased funds for upgrading the clubhouse. This was not as successful as previous years mainly due to lack of advertising and membership uptake. Charity Trustees will continue to review how we raise funds for the club over the next five years or so. There are many competing priorities in addition to keeping the club functioning. The clubhouse has now been upgraded and its lifespan extended for at least 5-10 years. There is still further work to be done however, such as replacing/upgrading the kitchen/storage facilities and the toilets. This will still be an enormous but necessary task for the club and our volunteers. We do not own the ground we play on and this makes access to grants and other sources of funding difficult.

Section E Financial review

Further financial review details (Optional information)

Section F Other optional information

Trustees agreed that the Social Club and CIO should have one back account for Blyth CC – separate accounts will be still be kept and any money raised by the Social Club from fundraising events such as Bonfire Night will be clearly noted as donations to the CIO.

Trustees will continue to review our fundraising strategy going forward. Our outside events are vulnerable to the weather for example. We need to ensure that risks are considered and managed as far as is possible and this may necessitate a change in the type of fundraising activities we focus on. This will become increasingly important as it becomes necessary to invest in new facilities at the ground such as changing rooms etc. This will be a major expenditure for the club and will require careful management by Charity Trustees.
