Significant achievements
The Trustees have met on a regular monthly basis to consider the financial position of the Trust and to deal with
the management issues which have arisen during the financial year. There ha8 been one change in Trustees

The facilities on the site currently comprise 3 Rugby Pitches, 5 Squash Courts, an outdoor Bowling Green, 8
400m Athletics track together with field sports areas, field Archery targets, Changing rooms and two licensed
Clubhouses. The Table Tennis Club makes use of two of the Squash Courts on 8 weekly basis for its club
purposes.
The condition of the car park continues to give concern to the Trustees. Further temporary remedialworks have
been carried out on occasion bywest Northamptonshire Council, but much to the frustration of the Trustees,
the member clubs and the visiting members of the public usingthe f8cilities, there continues to be no progress
made between the Council and its contractors in the dispute as to who was responsible for the defects in the
car park's construction. The Council has however now 8greed to undertake core sampling in various locations
on the car park to ascertain if the substructure m8ter18ls were in 8ccordanc8 With the contractual
specification. The deteriorating state of the car park is of particular concern to Reach for Health, whos8
premises are situated on the site and uses the car park not only for parking, but also 8S Itg only means of
access to its premises. Many of its members and visitors suffer from physical difficulties and require
wheelchair access. The Trustees have continued to press the Council for a permanent solution given th8
concerns on safety issues.
The premises have been used duringthe yearfor private functions and Davfest 24 (a music festival held in July)
was very successful and the organiser reported it Was the best attended festival that had been held and that
they intend to return with a bigger festival in July 2025. The two club houses continue to provide excellent
venues for social activities for local people, hosting many community activities and the member clubs also
provide opportunities for the local people to volunteer to assist with and be involved in sporting activities in
Daventry.
The Sports club using the facilities have continued to be in good health and there is in excess of 600 members
in total from the member clubs who use the facilities on a regular basis, of whom approximately 250 arejuniors
and membership numbers have been on the increase generally. The number of users of the facility is boosted
by visiting teams, hirerlusers of the Athletic track and third-party users of the two Clubhouse facilities for Social
activities.
The Squash Club continues to grow its membership numbers and has over 200 members, all playing the sport
regularly. The club was able to field teams in each of the four county Leagues winningthe First and Fourth
Divisions. The club hosted the county championships and a major doubles competition, predominately
because it is the onlyfacilitywithin 40 miles which boasts five courts.
