Chair's report
Significant achievements
The Trustoes have met on a regular monthly basls to consider the financial position of the Trust and lo deal with the managemenl Issues which have
arisen during the financial year. There have been a number of changes irs Trustees during the year with ￿SIgnationS for personal reasons of
Stephanie Jane Russell. Russ Robinson and Christopher John Hallwood and the appointment of Derek Owen Williams and Anthony John Baker.
The outgoing Trustees were thanked for their services to the Trust.
The facilities on the site currently comprise 3 Rugby Pitches, 5 squash Courts, an outdoor Bowling Green, 8 400m Athl8tics track together with field
sports areas, field Archery tsrgels, Changing rooms and kn licensed Clubhouses. The Table Tennis Club makes use of ￿ of the Squash CDUrts
on a weekly basis for its club purposes.
The condition of the car park continues lo give concem to the Trustees. 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 suc￿ssful 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 sports clubs using the facilili8s hav8 recovered from tho Covid lock downs and during the period of this report have continued lo ba In good
health and in lolal there are some 600 plus members who use the facilities on a regular basis. of whom approximately 260 are juniors and
membership numbers have been on the increase generally. 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. The Squash Club's
committee has a solid plan to grow the membership further in 2024125 as well as lo improve the facilities.
The club has continued to host the Northamplonshire County Championships for both squash and rackelball. As an 8ffilialed club lo England
Squash. the venu8 is now regularly being selected to hold sanctioned competitions lor both juniors and 8dull8.
11 has been another truly remarkable season for th8 Rugby Club:_
The 1$1 XV won their league, having lost only one le8gue fixture in kn seasons ar￿ gaining promO￿On to Regional 2 of the RFU leagues. This is the
highest league achievem8nl in the Club's history. They also retained the Northants Allian¢fj Pag9t Cup and had an excellent run in the L.ews Shield.
narrO￿Y being beaten in the final at Franklin Gardens by Olney.
The 2nd XV won their league in Warwickshire 7. They also made il lo a cup final, represenllng the Club in the Clonmell Cup and narrowly being
beaten by Lullerworth in a very light game.
The 3rd XV 8180 had a great season. wning the Warwi¢kshire 2A league tille in the first half of the season and narrowly m¢sslng out on winning
league 28 in the second half of the season.
Tho 4th XV conllnued to offer tho great social aspect for the Club and welcomed players of all abilities and conlinues to forge rugby bonds across
the region.
The Club put out an academy side during the season { first lime in 4 years ) and will be looking to malntaln 51 for the upcoming season with strong
U16'8 that are coming through.
The Mini's section of the dub has grown from 70 players to 110. Next year. we will have players from pr&sch¢Jol to year 9, so an amazing
achievement in how this area has grown.
The Club now has a ladies team up and running, currenuy playing touch rugby with a view lo progressing to full contact and a league structure.
Away from the playing side of the Club. has been improving the facility. It has fix8d the drainage on the 1st XV pitch and also insialled a drainage
system on the lop pitch, which is hoped will mean less training cancellations due lo the weather.
From a management team perspective, the Club has completed a restmcluring exercise. From two years ago when we had six people, we now
have a stw¢lure with over 40 volunteers in place.
During the past 12 months, the membership of the Athletics Club has continued to Ine￿age steadily. The number of alhletes atterKling Tuesday and
Thursday night training s8ssions throughout the year averages over 30 with 50+ attending some sessions during the summer rnonths. During the
past 12 months. the Club hosted the folbwing events..
1 x Heart of Eng18nd League match for alhleles 9-16 years olds.
1 x Youth Development League match for athletes 11-14 years old.
2 x Secondary Schools events for schools in the old South Northants area.

For the year ended 30 April 2024
2 x Primary Schools events- Daventry area., regional final.
In addition. various local running group5 use the track on Monday and Wednesday evenings with individuals also using the facility on an occasional
basis.
11 has been another successful year for the Table Tennis Club wth four League lilles awarded to the Club. This was the foundatron for a lot of
acbvilies involving Members lo promote the Club across Northamptonshire and Warwickshire. Senior Members supported a lo¢al Academy by laying
on After School luilion when 20 to 30 pupils regulary lumed up, some already have been filtered back into advanced tuition at the Clubhouse. These
activities wera instrumental in the school being awarded a grant lo buy exensive tsble lennis equipm8nt for the fulure. The Club hosted an open day
for SEND pupils when 12 schools visited the Club for a fun and games day for up to 70 of their pupils. Again, we were congratulated by visiting
teachers and a couple of Head Teachers who were anxious to repeal tho day on an annual basis. The Club suffered a litue bit with major increases
in costs meaning that, for the first time in its history114 years). il ran at a loss. All fees were doubled 8t the AGM to cover this scenario and things
are looking slighlty better for the coming year.
The Bowls Club has continued to face a difficult year due lo rising costs, coupled with competition for rnembers from a number of other Bowls clubs
in the area and the need lo keep subscriptions al an affordable level for its members, many of whom are rolired. Income from the hire of the
clubroom lo outside groups ha5 continued to increase with the groups mentioned in last yearfs report Continuing to meet al its premises on a regular
basis. as well as the premises being available for hire for social events. The Club has also been able lo continue with its policy of upgrading
essential fiems of equipment for the benefit of both Members and outside users resulting in the Club being more than a Bowling Club and continuing
to enhance its role as a community asset.
During the year, the Trust has continued its excellent relationship with Reach for Health la charity operating from premises on tha sile as 8 physical
and mental-heallh rahabilitalion and recuperation cenlrel and has a good working relationship and synèr9y with Reach for Health.
