## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 1 May 2022 Period start date To 30 April 2023 Period end date Charity name: Cranbrook Sports Club** ## **Charity registration number: 1172923** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To promote community participation in
healthy recreation by providing facilities for
playing rugby union football and other
sports.
To provide facilities for sport, recreation
and other leisure time activities in the
interests of social welfare and improving
quality of life for the public at large and
other groups that have need for such
facilities.
To advance the education of children and
young persons as the Directors think fit.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Rugby Union football is played from
September to April. There are a number of
teams playing at Senior, Junior and Mini
level. The Club also has a Ladies team,
which has had a mixed year but more
importantly has had fun.
During the summer Cricket is played from
April to September.
The Clubhouse provides facilities for the
wider Community, eg providing a venue for
the local Slimming World group. It is able
to host training events to support its
activities, eg First Aid and Safeguarding
courses.
The Club is working to increase the
activities available, and now provides the
venue for a Men’s Shed. A comment from
one of the Men’s Shed members: ‘it’s been
a life saver’.| |Statement confirming

volunteers|Para 1.38|The Club employs a Director of Rugby and
a Club Steward on a part-time basis. There
are some paid weekend bar/kitchen
sessional workers. Other than that, the
Club is run entirely by volunteers, both in
relation to sporting activities, managing the
Clubhouse and Grounds,
administration/governance and for
additional help in the bar and kitchen as
needed.
Ground and clubhouse maintenance are
carried out by volunteers although
contractors are brought in as required for
more substantial works.
Early in the reporting period the Club
appointed a volunteer Player Development
Coach, who also coaches the Ladies team.
He has brought a wealth of experience and
knowledge to the newly formed Colts
section, with 20+ years experience of
playing rugby around the world. The Club
held a very successful Colts Open Day,
where the Coach was able to lay out the
Club’s plan for the season to the Colts
players and parents.
The volunteer support from everyone during
the season has been considerable,
especially when the Club hosted the Senior
Finals at the end of April 2023. Without the
Club volunteers these events would not
have been the successes that they were.
Volunteers also organise Club lunches
throughout the season.
Eleven of the current U14s were completing
their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh
volunteering with the club, carrying out
tasks such as litter picking and cleaning the| changing rooms. Four juniors registered to be part of The Rugby Project, a programme of charity work and rugby related courses including refereeing and first aid. Other ## **Achievements and Performance** |Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any
wider benefits to society
as a whole.|SORP reference
Para 1.20|As at 30 April 2023 the Club had 408 paid
subscriptions, comprising Senior Players,
Families, Social, Students and Cricket.
Both the Rugby and Cricket Clubs have
played matches throughout the respective
seasons.
The 1stXV finished the season in a
respectable 6thposition in the Counties 1 Kent
league, which after two back-to-back
promotions was a considerable achievement.
The Nomads also had a good season,
finishing in 6thplace in the Invicta League.
They secured a home final spot at the Kent
Finals Day, where in front of a large
supporting home crowd, they won the Kent
Shield Competition in another closely fought
game, winning 27-26.
The Ladies had a tough start to the season,
where the competitiveness and physicality of
NC1 proved to be a step too far for the squad
as they rebuilt following a few of the more
experienced players moving away or retiring
from the game. With the full support of the
Club and the RFU, the ladies withdrew from
NC1 and instead arranged friendlies for the
rest of the season, which has given the squad
a chance to rebuild and play games in a safe,
fun but still competitive way. Recently, the
ladies have played in a few 7s festivals,
coming runners-up at Rye 7s and reaching
the quarter finals at Bournemouth 7s. As ever
for the Ladies, having fun together and
building team spirit has equalled playing
rugby.
The girls joined forces with Tonbridge
Juddians and Tunbridge Wells girls which
meant that the U12, U14, U16 and U18 girls
were getting the most out of training and a lot
of match time, all whilst playing in Cranbrook
shirts!| |---|---|---| The U12s - U16s had a successful season with Kent league and waterfall matches, friendly matches, Kent 7s festivals and age group tours, with a few of the age groups going unbeaten in their Kent matches. The U12s got through to the final at the Rye Festival, the U13s enjoyed a brilliant tour down to Bath, and were Guards of Honour at The Rec. The U14s had a successful tour to Dorset, and the following weekend competed at the Rye festival where they narrowly lost in the final by 1 try, but most importantly, were awarded “Sportsmanship Team of the Tournament”. The U16s played well at the Kent 7s reaching the Vase Semi- final, and now look forward to their move to Colts. The Mini’s had a great season with 200+ minis each Sunday morning enjoying training and matches. The Mini’s concluded their season with the Fergy Shield festival at the club. The U7s scoped the trophy. Attendance averaged 35 each Sunday morning for the 5 - 9-year-olds, with training for the soft ball players, and hard ball training for the U13s, who had a strong season despite being mainly U12 players, and finished mid table in the Weald of Kent U13 league. Four players represented the club at District level, and a couple of well attended Skillz Camps were held at the Club. Cranbrook has a strong relationship with Harlequins which has provided many opportunities for members. A large number of members attended both The Big Game 14 and The Big Summer Kick Off games at Twickenham, with Minis and Juniors having the opportunity to play on the hallowed turf both before and at half time at both matches. The Club hosted Quins camps during the school holidays again, with more planned for summer 2023. The Clubhouse was used for community activities throughout the year. The new Clubhouse planning permission lapsed over Covid, but the club reapplied for planning and after almost a year, got notification in February 2023 that the planning permission had been granted again. There is a new “clubhouse delivery team” tasked by the committee with looking at the plans, costs to build the permitted clubhouse taking into account today’s inflated build costs, what funding is available and what alternative build options might be. The Cranbrook Men’s Shed have started their building work behind the current clubhouse as they make the Tomlin Ground their new home, and we look forward to welcoming them to our community. During the year the Club hosted several Club lunches, one of which was free of charge to acknowledge the contribution of sponsors and volunteers. The Christmas lunch was attended by approximately 190 people. There has been significant investment in the pitches and the environment during the 22/23 period to keep the pitches playable and the surrounding areas fit for purpose. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. ## **Small Company Rules** This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. On behalf of the board Mrs Caroline Cannar Director 29/11/2023 Page 2 ## **Cranbrook Sports Club Accountant's Report For The Year Ended 30 April 2023** ## **Report to the directors on the preparation of the unaudited statutory accounts of Cranbrook Sports Club for the year ended 30 April 2023** In order to assist you to fulfil your duties under the Companies Act 2006, I have prepared for your approval the accounts of Cranbrook Sports Club for the year ended 30 April 2023 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet and the related notes from the accounting records and from information and explanations you have given to us. As a practising member of the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA), we are subject to its ethical and other professional requirements which are detailed at https://www.ifa.org.uk/about-us/acting-in-the-public-interest/memberregulations. This report is made solely to the directors of Cranbrook Sports Club, as a body, in accordance with the terms of our engagement letter dated . Our work has been undertaken solely to prepare for your approval the accounts of Cranbrook Sports Club and state those matters that we have agreed to state to the directors of Cranbrook Sports Club, as a body, in this report. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Cranbrook Sports Club and its directors, as a body, for our work or for this report. It is your duty to ensure that Cranbrook Sports Club has kept adequate accounting records and to prepare statutory accounts that give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of Cranbrook Sports Club. You consider that Cranbrook Sports Club is exempt from the statutory audit requirement for the year. We have not been instructed to carry out an audit of the accounts of Cranbrook Sports Club. For this reason, we have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have given to us and we do not, therefore, express any opinion on the financial statements.

Page 5 **Cranbrook Sports Club Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 30 April 2023** ## 1. **General Information** Cranbrook Sports Club is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 10310946. The registered office is Tomlin Ground, Angley Road, Cranbrook, Kent, TN17 2PN. ## 2. **Accounting Policies** ## 2.1. **Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements** The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. ## 2.2. **Turnover** Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. ## **Sale of goods** Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods. ## **Rendering of services** Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably. ## 2.3. **Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation** Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: Leasehold over life of the asset Plant & Machinery 25% reducing balance Fixtures & Fittings 25% reducing balance ## 3. **Average Number of Employees** Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: 1 (2022: 1) ## 4. **Tangible Assets** ## **Land & Property** |**Cost**

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: • examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act • follow the procedures laid down m the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and - state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records, it also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examiner's statement in connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention - 1.Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or 2.To which, In my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
