## **Trustees Annual Report to The Charities Commission.** 

(Ist April, 2021 to 31[st] March 2022) 

Name of CIO – Plymouth and Devon Schools Sailing Association 

Registered Charity Number – 1162305   First Registered on 19[th] June, 2015 

Address – Boathouse 18, Commercial Wharf, Plymouth, Devon. PL1 2NX 

Trustees –  Richard Curtis,  Martyn Spencer,   Eddie Harper. 

The Management Committee, consisting of The President, Chairman, Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer, plus up to six other members, who have been elected or co-opted, are responsible for running the day to day affairs of the CIO.  The Officers are elected annually at the Annual General meeting. The Trustees, who have overall responsibility, are also elected or reelected at the AGM, serving for three years, with one retiring each year. 

As in the previous year, activities have been much affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic and there have been few full meetings of the general committee. However, the trustees have been in regular contact to oversee association business. 

On the water sessions have been limited, with fewer numbers involved in the regular weekly “Sailability” sessions than hoped. However, there have been high spots. A family of seven, which included three youngsters in wheelchairs, were given a day afloat, which was enjoyed by all involved, including our volunteer crew members. It is expected that this inspiring family group will be visiting us again in 2022. 

.The Wednesday maintenance group has been active throughout the year and has worked hard to ensure all equipment is fully functional. At the time of writing, “Sky Pilot” is afloat and ready for the new season (after replacement of a stolen anchor). “Aaron Lewis has been antifouled, given an annual engine service and been fitted with a new cover. She now also has a new trailer. “Tenacity” is about to be relaunched, ready for what is hoped will be a busier season. 

Sadly there has been little sign of any activity from City College, with whom we were hoping to form a partnership. They have taken over boat stores 15, 16 and 17 but have not yet made any attempt to start operations. 

The future of the association remains uncertain. The pandemic has had a detrimental effect on bookings and we have been kept “afloat” by various small grants. There is no guarantee that these will be repeated. We can only hope!. 

Signed by the Trustees year ending 31[st] March, 2022. 


Martyn Spencer, Eddie Harper Richard Curtis
