Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We have continued this year to maintain the pitches to as high a standard as we are able. This involved re-seeding worn areas and re laying the pitches ready for friendly games which started at the beginning of August.

We now have three Churches league teams playing on Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings are for 2 adult teams in the morning and a variety of youth teams some of who spill into Sunday afternoons. These matches are, of course our main source of income. Recovery from Covid has continued and therefore income has started to rise again.

We were excited to see the beginning of our rebuild on the pavilion. The demolition is due to start in December and hopefully we will be able to move into the new building by the beginning of the 2022 season in September.

We have been operating a scaled down version of the café in one of our containers which has proved popular with our users.

Our focus this year has continued to be the new pavilion and planning for its opening.
