## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015). 

Since the company qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

The objective of the charity (DSC/the Club)) is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of facilities for the sport of sailing and other water sports which are capable of improving physical health and fitness. 

## **b. Activities for achieving objectives** 

All of DSC's activities are directed towards its objects. 

The Club enables members of the public (of all ages and abilities and genders) to take part in sailing and other water sports which are capable of promoting physical health and fitness. 

It has a 16 hectare lake, boat launching facility, secure boat storage, a modern (accessible) clubhouse with changing rooms, and a training room. 

The Club provides the following activities throughout the year: 

- Racing (competitive racing on Sundays throughout the year and some informal/novice racing on Wednesdays from April to September); 

- Leisure sailing (including during periods of racing or training provided that sailors give way to boats that are racing, and avoid sailing through training groups, where possible); and 

- Training - as a recognised Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Training Centre, offering a wide range of dinghy sailing courses to both adults and children from the age of 8 (at different skill levels) under the internationally recognised National Sailing Scheme and Youth Sailing Scheme. The Club also provides training for the RYA Level 2 Power Boat Certificate and Assistant Instructor training for members aspiring to become instructors. 

- Race Coaching – informal sessions on Sunday mornings before races and occasional more advanced one day sessions. 

The Club has a wide range of club sailboats and safety equipment which is available for hire for racing, leisure sailing and training purposes. The Club also has a fleet of power boats for the provision of safety cover and instruction during training, racing and other organised activities.

# **DORCHESTER SAILING CLUB (A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

DSC provides its sailing facilities to other organisations (for example Oxfordshire County Scouts Association and Abingdon Sea Scouts) and the facility of the lake and changing rooms to other water sports clubs (for example Oxford Triathlon Club for open water swim training). 

## **c. Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

DSC's membership is open to all individuals (of all ages and genders) who wish to join the club, regardless of their sporting ability: there is no skill test for admission. This open membership is subject only to limitations on available facilities, equipment and resources. A waiting list for membership therefore exists when membership is oversubscribed, with the next available membership place being offered on a first come, first served basis. 

In relation to the other water sport clubs and organisations which DSC permits to use its facilities for training and event purposes, such clubs and organisations must operate on a not-for-profit basis. Their activities undertaken at DSC must also be supervised by suitably trained and certified persons, and adequate safety cover and full insurance cover must be in place. As with individual membership, DSC decides which clubs and organisations to allow to use its facilities dependent on their availability, again with use being offered on a first come, first served basis. 

Other water sport clubs and organisations which DSC permits to use its facilities for training and event purposes are not members of DSC and so it is not necessary to be a member in order to be a beneficiary of the charity. 

In terms of individuals however, individuals must be members to participate in sailing at DSC in a personal capacity (rather than as a result of membership of another club or organisation). The criterion for membership is that the individual must be interested in, and keen to take part in, sailing. Individual, joint and family memberships are available. Benefits to members are the use of DSC's facilities, the ability to hire club boats and safety equipment, and the option to participate in racing, leisure sailing and/or training activities at the club. 

However, usually the Club offers four-day youth sail training courses twice a year- during the Easter and Summer school holidays – which are open to the children of non-members. Also, adult non-members may attend the 6-day adult sail training course for a supplementary fee (see below). 

DSC's facilities are open 7 days a week throughout the year. There are no restrictions on members in terms of which facilities and services members can access. 

Regarding other clubs and organisations, DSC agrees in advance with such clubs and organisations which facilities it can access depending on their needs and availability. 

DSC charged the following annual membership rates for 2021: 

- Joining Fee (one-off payment): £30 

- Single Membership annual subscription: £130 

- Joint/Family Membership annual subscription (meaning 2 adults and any dependent children 

- of either adult): £155 

- Annual Boat Registration (each craft): £10 

- Annual Berth fee (per occupied berth): £45 

Non-sailing membership is available to persons who have been full members for at least 10 years and who are 

Page 3 



## **DORCHESTER SAILING CLUB (A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

no longer able to participate in sailing activities. The annual fee is £25. 

In addition to the above, DSC charges include the following: 

- Hire of club boats: from £5 per boat for a half day and £7.50 per boat per full day 

- Adult training course (6 days): £220 for members and £280 for non-members 

- Adult training for RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate: £50 for members 

Youth sail training courses are provided free of charge to children in family memberships, and safety equipment is always provided to all participants free of charge. The fees for the youth courses open to the public (during school holiday periods) are £160 for non-members and £144 for members. 

Youth members who are trained to be Assistant Dinghy Instructors are given training to obtain the RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate at no charge. 

Grants are available for joining fees (for 100% of the joining fee), membership fees (for up to 50% of the membership fees) and also for certification training/coaching or participation costs (for up to 50% of the costs subject to a maximum of £250). Grants towards membership fees are available for single, joint or family memberships. 

The trustees consider that DSC's charges, to both members and clubs/organisations, are set at a level which are reasonable and that the ability to pay the fees charged will not unreasonably restrict those who can benefit. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Membership** 

The Club’s membership increased strongly in 2021 from 188 memberships in 2020 to 215 memberships by the end of 2021. The number of Family Memberships rose from 115 to 132 and the number of Joint Memberships rose from 20 to 31. However, the number of Single Adult Memberships fell slightly from 53 to 52. The number of individuals in the 215 memberships totalled 650 compared to 557 in 2020. 

The number of individuals included in the 215 memberships is made up by: 52 adults with Single Membership 62 adults with Joint Membership 257 adults with Family Membership 281 children in Family Memberships 

## **b. Training during 202** 1 

The Covid-19 pandemic continued to impact on our training activities in 2021. Restrictions meant that we were not able to run training in the spring and only started our training programme in June, and severely impacted our ability to deliver Adult training. 

We were able to run a 4-day summer youth holiday course for members and non-members in the June half term and 2 more such courses in August. For each course we adjusted the places available and age limits to ensure we could remain within the guidelines in force at the time whilst maintaining quality of teaching and safety. We limited use of indoor facilities, mixing within groups and did not use double handed boats until the final course. Fully risk assessed operating procedures were in place in line with RYA and government guidelines to ensure that these courses were COVID-19 secure. 

The restrictions meant that adult courses, normally taught with an instructor in the boat, were not possible until July. We ran a course for 4 adults in the Autumn. Normally we would run 2 such courses with up to 8 places per year. 

Page 4 



**DORCHESTER SAILING CLUB (A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

In total 84 RYA Certificates were issued to children, 21 of whom had not sailed before. 17 RYA Stage 3 certificates were issued – representing young sailors capable of sailing independently and taking part in club activities, and 7 Start Racing certificates were awarded to more advanced sailors. These numbers are comparable to pre pandemic annual levels. 

DSC continues to maintain relationships with other clubs and groups in the region. The annual National Schools regatta was able to take place and DSC once again took a leading role in the Oxfordshire team, with our volunteers looking after the booking for the entire team and a number of our sailors achieving good results. Two DSC sailors continue to compete individually at National and World level. 

Although we only restarted our own assistant instructor training right at the end of the year, external training has continued and 2 more of our instructors completed full Dinghy Instructor Qualifications, 3 of our Dinghy Instructors qualified as Senior Instructors and 2 qualified as Club Racing coaches. Our numbers of instructors with higher level qualifications remains unusually high for a club of this size. 

The Schools programme was able to run a skeleton programme in the Autumn for 6 young sailors. 

The level of training we were able to deliver in 2021 was due to another year of incredibly hard work by our volunteers. The uncertain roadmap out of lock down in the summer caused significant administration overhead and teaching conditions remain much more difficult than before COVID. We remain extremely fortunate to have a pool of capable and determined volunteers. 

## **c. Facilities Use by Others** 

Oxfordshire County Scouts Association and Abingdon Sea Scouts cancelled all activities at DSC during 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions. 

Oxford Triathlon Club continued to use the Club’s facilities for open swim training twice a week from April until September. 

Oxford Paddlers for Life (a charity providing support for people who have been affected by cancer) continued to use DSC’s facilities for their Dragon Boat rowing activities and have decided to use DSC as their base for the time being. 

## **Financial review** 

## **a. Financial risk management objectives and policies** 

DSC has freehold ownership of the lake and all of the surrounding land that it occupies. It owns outright all of the facilities and equipment that the Club provides for sailing activities, and owns all the buildings (although there is an outstanding mortgage of £28,907 for the building of a new clubhouse in 2010). 

DSC maintains adequate insurance cover for the risks associated with its activities and for loss of its equipment and buildings. 

.The principal financial risks are from loss of income, due to a reduction in memberships or income from training activities. Hence any events that could lead to the lake being unable to be used for sailing may pose risks to the club’s finances if the event or cause is sustained for a long time. This may include events such as a severe and prolonged drought causing the water level of the lake to fall and making a significant area of the lake un-sailable. A similar risk is posed by pond weed growth. Little can be done to obviate the risks from drought, but DSC has an annual programme to restrict and control the problem of pond weed through the use of dye to inhibit growth and, if required, cutting and clearing the weed. In 2021 the lake water level was high 

Page 5 



## **DORCHESTER SAILING CLUB (A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

and the dye was kept at a higher concentration. Given there was little weed growth a similar programme will be followed this coming year. An annual budget of £4,250 is reserved for this programme. Lastly, COVID remains a risk, in that if restrictions on activities return, we may find we have to scale back or halt sailing. As of now this does not look likely. The club has the financial position to survive the risks stated above for the next financial year. 

The Club operates a general reserves policy of retaining £20,000 cash as a contingency reserve. DSC also retains £20,000 in a designated fund for infrastructure development. 

## **b. Review year to 31/12/2021 income and costs** 

The year 2021 was the second year living with the Covid-19 pandemic and its restrictions. These restrictions impacted the club less during the year. The club ran an Easter Holiday and Spring training course as well as two Summer Holiday courses and a 6-day Autumn Weekend youth training, plus an adult course in the Autumn. Hence revenue from training increased in the year towards pre-pandemic levels. 

Membership numbers (both renewals and new members) increased in the year. Hence operating income exceeded the budget for the year at £70,850. This included £11,261 of monies, versus the same in costs, from funding the NSSA regatta for members of DSC and other local sailing clubs. Operating costs increased in the year to £50,860 (note this includes the offset for the money taken in to pay for the NSSA regatta). 

Council grants (for Covid-19 relief) of £14,857 were received, resulting in a net surplus (after other income and depreciation) of £23,513. A new Topper dinghy has been purchased, which will increase depreciation over the next several years. Separately, a prepayment was made on our mortgage totalling £19,771 including the expected paydowns. 

Cash at bank increased by £13,367 to £132,262 including reserves. Hence the level of available reserves to offset any future losses remains strong. 

Nearly 80% of the assets are accounted for by tangible fixed assets mainly consisting of freehold land (including the lake), buildings, boats and equipment used to provide the facilities for sailing and other water sport activities. 

Overall, the financial position of the Club remained favourable at the end of 2021, with the Club having sufficient reserves to offset a significant downturn in revenues and more than required to continue to run for the next financial year. Hence, the trustees consider that the Club remains a going concern for the next twelve months at the minimum. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **a. Organisational structure and decision making** 

The governing document is the Articles of Association as last amended on 28th February 2016.

**DORCHESTER SAILING CLUB (A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Dorchester Sailing Club meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## **1.2 Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice** 

In preparing these accounts, the Trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. 

No restatements were required. 

## **1.3 Company status** 

The company is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company. 

## **1.4 Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 

## **1.5 Income** 

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount the company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities. 

## **1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised. 

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account. 

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 

Freehold land - not depreciated - Buildings 2% Straight line Boats - 10% Reducing balance - Fencing and equipment 15% Reducing balance - Office equipment 33% Straight line 

## **1.8 Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

## **1.9 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **1.10 Cash at Bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **1.11 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. 

## **1.12 Financial instruments** 

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **1.13 Government grants** 

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account as the related expenditure is incurred. 

## **1.14 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
