# **COPDOCK and WASHBROOK PLAYING FIELD** **(ESTABLISHED 1952)** ## **Old London Road, Copdock, Ipswich, Suffolk. IP8 3JN** Registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1160671 Gift Aid Registration No. EW10008 ## **Chair of Trustees Report for 2024** The charity continues to utilise its assets to support the provision of recreational sport within the village and surrounding area with the three main activities being Cricket, Tennis and Junior football (up to Under 13 age groups). The cricket club continues to grow and now boasts over 400 playing members and 450 parent and associate members. They run 5 men’s teams, 3 ladies teams a ladies softball team and have around 300 junior members between the ages of 5 and 18. In addition the ground hosts a minor counties three day game every year and typically at least one veterans (usually over 60 or over 70) county championship game a week. Planning permission has been granted to further improve the pavilion with a roofed outdoor social and hospitality space, the funds for which have already been raised. The Tennis Club currently has some 30 members, however planning permission has been recently granted to convert one of the courts to a padel tennis court, which is anticipated to increase the membership significantly once built and in use. This is being commercially funded with support from the tennis club. With respect to Football the ground is now used by three junior football clubs Achilles, Needham Market Academy and St Johns. Over the season over 100 games of football were played on the outfield of the cricket pitch. Financially the bulk of the charity’s assets are represented by the land and buildings and it continues to disperse the bulk of income it receives in donations, grants and income from its tenants, in support of the further development of the facilities utilised by the tenant sports clubs. 1 As at the end of the financial year total assets stood at £291,092 with current assets of £4,516. Finally the trustees would like to thank Mr Michael Lloyd the secretary for his tireless work in the day to day administration of the charity. 2 amrity regtstration nwnber 11611671 COPDOCKAND WASHBROOK PLAYING FIELD ANNUAL REPORT AND UNAUDrrED FINANCIAL srATEME￿rS FOR TrIE YEAR END￿> 31 MAR04 21r24 COPDOCK AND WASHBROOK PLAYING FIELD LEGAL AND ADMINisfRATIVE INFORMATION N M&ln Dr H Wlkitwn S Wi&wwn M Taybr 1160671 Principal addr¢ Obj LorKlon R<>ad SuffoH( Unlwl KbykKn IP8 3JN Mosekys Farm Bustness Centre Fornham All Salnts S•Jffo If28 6JY COPDOCK AND WASHBROOK PLAYING FIELD COPDOCK AND WASHBROOK PLAYING FIELD TRUSTEES.
