## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|1) The advancement of amateur sport<br>by promoting the game of bridge for<br>the benefit of the residents of<br>Nottingham and the surrounding<br>area.<br>2) The provision of facilities for the<br>learning, teaching and playing of<br>bridge for the benefit of the<br>residents of Nottingham and the<br>surrounding area with the object of<br>improving conditions of life|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|In planning our activities for the year, the<br>trustees have kept in mind the Charity<br>Commission’s guidance on public benefit at<br>our trustee’s meetings.<br>Our focus can be broken down into the<br>following categories:<br>• Provide regular sessions at which<br>bridge can be played thus<br>promoting the game of bridge<br>• Make the club as welcoming and<br>friendly as possible to attract more<br>players. The club provides a<br>destination for bridge players of all<br>abilities, many of whom are elderly.<br>The club therefore is a place in the<br>community for social interaction, as<br>well as allowing for the mental<br>stimulation (and associated medical<br>benefits) that bridge has been<br>shown to provide.<br>• Encourage new players through the<br>provision of lessons and other<br>educational initiatives.|

The<br>contribution of all volunteers is greatly<br>appreciated – without their time and effort<br>the CIO would not be able to function and<br>certainly would not be the success it is.|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**Face-to-face Play**<br>The pandemic has again been a major<br>influence in activities. In 2020, there was the<br>migration to online play. In 2021, there has<br>been a gradual return to face-to-face play.<br>This has been particularly welcomed by<br>members who have not played online.<br>The trustees have always abided by<br>government regulations. Consideration has<br>been given to going beyond what is required<br>e.g. by having temperature checks or<br>requiring players to be fully vaccinated.<br>However, the policy has emerged to go no<br>further than would be required in visiting a<br>restaurant.<br>As a result, face-to-face play was<br>reintroduced in May, in a form of teams<br>where players stayed on the same table<br>throughout so as to abide by the rule-of-six.<br>Normal drives resumed in May. With the<br>government’s move to “Plan B” in<br>December, masks were worn during play.|





Numbers have slowly increased over the months, with nine tables at the Christmas party. There were four drives a week: Monday afternoons, Tuesday afternoons, Wednesday evenings and Friday evenings catering for a range of abilities. A total of 144 players took part in at least one drive. The Bridgemates have been replaced by tablets. Players quickly became familiar with their use and found the natural interface and easy-to-read display an improvement over Bridgemates. Members of other clubs have visited to see them in action before adopting them at their own clubs. **Online Play** 

With the reintroduction of face-to-face play, the decision was taken to discontinue the Friday evening online tournament. Some members expressed their disappointment with the trustees’ decision. Similarly, other members expressed their disappointment that the Tuesday BBO tournament had not also been discontinued to encourage more players to return to the table. At a committee meeting towards the end of the year, the trustees committed to continuing the Tuesday tournament so long as there was sufficient demand to do so. The Saturday tournament is to continue on the same basis. We had 201 members play in at least one online tournament during the year. The club has entered the county’s 2021/22 teams of eight competition, fielding five teams – one more than in recent years – which is being played online. **Teaching** 

Andrew Scott resumed face-to-face teaching with the beginners whose course had been disrupted by the pandemic. 

Graham Brindley has also returned to faceto-face sessions for improvers, after establishing a very successful course online. 

## **Financial Position** 

The club’s financial position is very healthy. The annual accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, depreciating assets, and 



recorded a surplus of £14,000. The increase in bank and cash was £12,000. As well as the tablets, new capital items were a computer and new doors. A cashless system for paying for face-toface table fees was introduced on a trial basis. This proved a sufficient success to be carried into 2022. It has reduced the workload of the treasurer and improved governance. It is vey flexible, allowing automatic billing for annual subscriptions and enabling hosts to be credited for free play at sessions as well as reimbursing members for small purchases. **The Future** The nature of post-pandemic bridge is still evolving. It looks as though there will be some form of hybrid between face-to-face and online bridge. However, the trustees place great importance on attracting newcomers to the game, and indications are that teaching beginners and introducing them to competitive play will most easily be achieved through face-to-face activities.

|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|At the year end we held cash balances of<br>c£46,000 which consisted of unrestricted<br>funds. These funds are held for unforeseen<br>circumstances (in particularly around the<br>property) and for appropriate expenditure<br>required to meet the CIO’s objectives.<br>There are government proposals that mean<br>the energy efficiency of all three flats will<br>need to be improved for new lettings by<br>2025. Funds will be needed to carry out this<br>work.<br>There is considerable uncertainty as to<br>whether there will be a government<br>requirement to replace boilers with heat<br>pumps or similar. This would be likely to<br>require heavy expenditure and the trustees<br>will be monitoring proposals as they evolve.<br>The reserves of the CIO total c£279,000.<br>This is primarily in respect to the premises<br>(which have not been revalued for many<br>years and therefore could be standing at a<br>substantial gain). A primary purpose of the<br>CIO is the provision of facilities for the<br>playing of bridge and as such there are no<br>plans to dispose of the property.|
