OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVTIES
The objects of the charity are set out in the CIOS constitution and are summarised as follows: A
provision of a progra m me of activities aimed at attracting new and retaining the interest of regular
established participants in hockey with the overall objective of growing particlpation in sport,
sustain ing pa rticipation through increased satisfaction and reducing d rop off rates for 14-25 year
olds and providing pathways for participants to excel in hockey regardless of age, gender, ethnicity
or faith.
Management of sporting facility and promotion to other sporting groups, local businesses and
community groups to participate in healthy recreation for the benefit of the community of Penzance
and surrounding areas and the promotion and access to the CIO'S clubhouse facilities to local
community, local businesses and other grcups for social functions and meeting space.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
How our activities deliver public benefit
Throughout the year the club house is available for use by the local community. The local pigeon
clu b continues to use the facllities for meetings and discussions. The clubhouse is also availa ble
for hire for social events.
There are four local football teams who hire the pitch throughout the year to train as they have no
tra ining facilities available to them. This ena bles the players to continue with their fitness a nd skills
and train safely under floodlights in the winter months whilst having use of the changing room and
shower facilities,
The ava ila bility of pitch hire also ena bles the loca I prima ry Schools to participate in hockey- based
activities and games. This helped to give the child ren an insight i nto playing hockey on Astro turf
and became a basis for the primary & secondary league.
Summer league was organised again this year which was open to junior & senior members old &
new, parents and anyone who was keen to play. This was a window for potential recruitment of
players from the community and enhanced confidence, fitness and health.

VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are an important resource, Coaches who run the Summer league and oversee teams do
so vol u nta rily a nd are affiliated to the club. Our coaches provide traini ng sessions and we a Iso
have qualified umpires who officiate league games again on a voluntary basis. Coaches and club
members running the groups have undertaken DBS checks.
Achievements & Performance
The men continue to run three team's in the league.
The women still run two competitive sides in the league and are looking to enter a third team in the
24125 season as numbers remain steady.
A large percentage of the junior tournaments and leagues are held at the club on a Sunday,
All junior teams have represented the clu b rea Ily well giving a great account of themselves arou nd
the county and beyond.
Some of our members go on to play representative hocl<ey ranging from masterfs down to the
panthers.
Flnancial Revlew
The main source of income has been from the rental of the CIOS facilities with additional income
from pitch hire to the local football teams and primary hockey.
The club charges membership fees to its members. Thi5 helps to pay for affiliation to
England Hockey, Cornwall Hockey, Verde Recreo Hockey League, West Women's Hockey League,
competition fees, coaching and umpiring courses, County Schools & Youth, DBS checks and
equipment purchased.
Membership also pays for players insurance and public liability insurance and training.
Our membership now incorporates the training and match fee cost. Members can pay this as a one
off payment or spread the cost across the year.
Income has also been generated frcrn the sale of cal<es etc by the juniors,
Payments have included essential maintenance & public liability insurance for health & safetv,
accountancy and legal fee5, insurance for players for the forthcoming season to ensure their
wellbei n& aff iliation fee5, competition fees, equipment purchases as well as general utilities. We
have also had a large outlay over the last couple of seasons replacing the showers a nd f locdliEht5.
