Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 30 April 2022
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2022.
CHAIR'S REPORT
It is very pleasing to be able to report our 1st team’s promotion to Level 5 in the new Regional 1 North West League. This was not confirmed until mid-May when, having tried and failed to play Douglas Isle of Man at home twice, they finally conceded that they could not raise a side and we were awarded the game. This meant that we overtook Waterloo for the third promotion place by one point.
Overall, we have had a successful season, but some injuries took their toll in the second half and we won only 6 games since the start of the year. Promotion means we shall join Kirkby Lonsdale and restore the local derby clash in a League, which has been reduced to 12 teams.
This change was delayed by Covid and is yet another blow to the Club’s potential earnings as the reduction in away travel costs is far outweighed by the loss of income from two home fixtures. The RFU promises a Cup competition in April to compensate, but details are yet to be published.
We have had success throughout the Club, from the 5-year-old Little Stingers (free membership next year) to the slightly older Auld Greys who have a large regular following playing Walking Rugby. The AGs have led the way in expanding interest in Walking Rugby. They recently had a successful Tournament with five visiting teams and an article praising the initiative published on the RFU website.
Our 2nds finished 4th in their League, the Under18 Colts came top of their League and won the Cup. Our Lady Wasps finished 4th in a small league and were frustrated by lack of opposition. We are proud that a good number of Kendal players were selected for the Cumbria County squads at Senior Men’s, Women’s and U17 level.
The Club is in a good place post-covid and many members and visitors have commented positively about the atmosphere at the Club. The Board continues to work hard to ensure financial stability and we are pleased to have recently co-opted Claire Park, who brings a wealth of experience from the Charity sector. We also welcome Laura Scott, as Bar Steward, to our team who manage the Club so well.
Volunteers are the backbone of the Club and Claire Park has recently assembled a register of volunteers and their interests that revealed 110 members were willing to help in various ways. Stacey Selby has made an immense contribution by taking on the organisation of the events and we are all very grateful to her. The formation of a Social Committee is yet another example of the strong community ethic within the Club.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 30 April 2022
Our Trading Company accounts for the year ending April 2022 show the contrast between a 'Covid' year and a gradual return to 'normal' activity. Our turnover rose to just over £500k and we posted a profit for the second year running of £37k, up from £22k in 2021. We have also managed to reduce our debt to the Trading Company by some £26k. Our commercial business is expanding, with an emphasis on trading through the summer months to ensure funds to support all our rugby teams. The contribution to income from camping, events such as the Harley Davidson Festival and weddings is essential to the overall success of the Club.
The Club has prepared a 3-year financial plan under the guidance of Billy Coxon and Helen Halsall, a Chartered Accountant and member of the Auld Greys. We are very grateful for their efforts. One of the worrying aspects for the future are our energy costs. The Club pays approximately £4,000 per month for utility costs. Our broker has advised that when our current electricity contract expires in January it is likely that our costs will increase by a factor of 2.5 resulting in £10,000 per month, which has to be found from our business. This is just one aspect of the coming economic crisis with interest rates rising in the face of inflation. The Club is not immune to these pressures and the Board is carefully monitoring our financial position.
Despite these difficulties we look forward to the new season with the Club in a good position to prosper, both on and off the field.
Kind regards, Stephen Green
Chairman KRUFC

Financial review
Reserves policy
It is the desired policy of the board to create and retain sufficient reserves to enable the club to maintain and enhance its facilities and provide rugby opportunities to the communities in the Kendal area.
Review of the financial position of the Charity
Five of the Charity Trustees are also Directors of the Trading Company, which manages the First team and the operation of the bar, servery and other catering facilities. The Charity charges the Trading Company a rent (currently £17,500 per annum) for use of the facilities. .
A separate set of accounts is prepared for the Trading Company and a summary is shown at Note 24.
Last year the Charity donated £50k to the Trading Company to pay legitimate expenses incurred by the Charity supporting its aims and objectives relating to the local community. The Supporter’s Club donated £1k to the Trading Company to fund player expenses. Loans to the Trading Company decreased by £26k from £279k to £254k.
Investment
The Trustees have the power to invest the Club's assets as they see fit. The investment committee is chaired by Chris Wheatman together with three other Trustees and reviews the opportunities for a return on the Club's capital while protecting its assets. The net investment income less charges plus net gains over the year was £57k with a year end valuation of £1,594k (2021: £1,614k)
Covid-19
Fortunately, with the exception of the testing requirements for the away trip to the Isle of Man, there were no restrictions on playing during the season. The Club did not have a full program of events (e.g. Christmas Parties) as Covid was, and remains, endemic within the UK.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
The judgement that the trustees have made that has a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets in the next financial year is with regard to debtors, specifically loans to Kendal Rugby (Trading) Limited. The accounts have been prepared assuming that the outstanding capital repayments and interest due will be paid in the near future.
Taxation
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period.
Current tax is recognised on taxable income or expenditure for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Income
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.

Income (continued)
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Operating leases
Lease income is recognised in income or expenditure on a straight line basis over the lease term. The aggregate cost of lease incentives are recognised as a reduction to income over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
- Freehold property 2% straight line buildings, no depreciation freehold land - Fixtures fittings and Equipment 25% straight line or 20% reducing balance equipment
Investments
Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.
Investments in associates
Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted.

Investments in joint ventures
Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted.
Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss.
