Temporary remedial works have been carried out on occasion by West Northamptonshire Council, bul much to the frustration of the Trustees, the member clubs and the visiting members of the public using the facilities, no prog$$ had been made between th8 Council and Its conlr2Ctors in the dispute as to who was responsible for the defects in the car park's construction. The delerioraling stale of the ear park is of parb'cular concern to Reach lor Health. whose premises are situated on the site and uses the Gar park not only for parking, but also as its only means of access lo its premises. Many of its members and vistors suffer from physical difficulties and require wheelchair 8c¢ess. The Trustees have continued to press the Council for a p8rmanenl solution given th6 ¢on¢9ms ¢)n safety issues. The premlses have been used during the year for private functions and D8vfest 23 { a music fesllv81 held in July) was very sucssful and the organisers intend lo retum with a bigger festival in July 2024. Continued improvements to the two Clubhous68 have resulted in increasèd use by outside organisalions and for private parties with the consequent uplrft in the financial income.

The numb&r of users of the facility is boosted by visiting leams, hirerslusers of the Athlet1¢ track and third-paty users of the two Clubhouse facilities for social advilles. The two Clubhouses continue to provide excellent venues for social aclivites for local p80ple, hosting many communily activities and the member clubs also provide opportunities tor local people lo volunteer lo assist with and be involved in sporting activities in Davenlry. The Squash Club continues to grow its memb8rship numb8rs and has over 130 members, all playing the Sport regulary.

This is the highest league achievem8nl in the Club's history.
