purposes for the
public benefit, in

activities,

in the accounts.|Para 1.17
and 1.19|Rugby Union football is played from September to
April. There are several teams playing at
Senior, Ladies, Junior and Mini level.
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 can host training
events to support its activities, such as First
Aid and Safeguarding courses.
The Cranbrook Men’s Shed is based at the
clubhouse and has continued to grow as a
service. A comment from one of the Men’s Shed
members: ‘it’s been a life saver’.
The Club continues to work to increase the
community activities that it can offer.
Since February 2024, and in partnership with
Highgate Hawkhurst WI, the Club has hosted the
Ladies’ Walking Rugby, which has seen 6-10
ladies attending each session, learning how to
play and of course, enjoying coffee and cake
afterwards.| |Statement

by volunteers|Para 1.38|Cranbrook Sports Club (CSC) employs a Director
of Rugby and a Club Steward on a part-time
basis. There are 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 to
provide 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.
The volunteer support from everyone during the
season has been considerable. Without Club
volunteers, events would not have been the
successes that they have been. Lunches and
events raised approx £13,555 during the year.
Six lunches were held, all well attended. The
Christmas lunch had over 220 people enjoying
the festivities.
None of the club’s successes would be possible
without every single one of the club
volunteers, be it coaches, first aiders, team
managers, helpers in the kitchen or bar, the
grounds team, physios, and also the club
committee and the Club Steward, who volunteers
her time in addition to paid hours.
Ladies Walking Rugby Group was instigated and
organised by volunteers.| |Other||In relation to cricket, our cricketers had a
great summer, with over 60 soft and hard ball
players enjoying Sunday morning training and
matches, as well as two 3-day cricket camps in
the August and October school holidays, once
again run by the Skillz Cricket Academy.| 2 In August 2024, the club was granted planning permission for the new clubhouse and community facility. The Clubhouse Build Team has made enormous efforts to secure the planning permission. Design works are progressing well. Fundraising continues. Numbers at summer touch and pre- season training for the men were excellent and continued across the whole season. The 1XV had notable wins at home against Crowborough and Ashford and finished the season in 11[th] place in Counties 1 Kent. The Nomads competed well in Kent Rural A and finished the season with an excellent win against Tunbridge Wells IIIs. The Vets had a very successful league campaign, culminating in a dominating win against Aylesford in the Kent Vets finals. The Tom Chantler Memorial game against Maidstone saw another win for the club. A great statistic for Cranbrook is that across the men’s squads, over 20 of the players played their mini/junior rugby at CRFC; an excellent advert for community club rugby and one that the club should be proud of! The ladies also had great numbers across preseason, and summer touch, where they invited the club’s younger ladies to join them too. They had a very successful season with great wins over Sheppey, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone and Folkestone and finished 2[nd] in their league which is a fantastic achievement for their first season back in the RFU leagues. They successfully recruited and welcomed new players to the squad, while being in NC3 has given these players the opportunity to gain confidence and build skills. The squad enjoyed a tour weekend playing 7s in Bournemouth and are now planning and looking forward to upcoming events scheduled around the Women’s Rugby World Cup in the summer of 2025. Thank you to all volunteers involved in leadership and coaching roles. Despite the club’s best efforts, the missing age group had a big impact during 24/25 and unfortunately the Falcons (Colts) team did not compete this year. CSC has been planning and working hard to ensure that the Colts section is relaunched and are confident that with the U16s coming through, as well as a few new recruits and returning players, they will have an excellent upcoming season. The juniors had an excellent season of training, friendly games and Kent Waterfall and league games, and it is a fantastic achievement that all age groups 3 finished 2[nd] or 3[rd] in their respective leagues. There have been Tuesday evening training sessions for girls of 10 years old and up and numbers are growing weekly. The minis also had a very successful and enjoyable season with training, joint fixture and festivals, with feedback from other clubs’ coaches and parents being very positive and congratulations given for the standard of play and attitude of CRFC mini’s. The Fergy Gask Memorial Festival was, yet again, a fun and competitive morning and well done to the U7s ,for securing the Fergy Gask Cup. The U7s and U8s competed against each other in the inaugural Golden Boot competition. The mighty U7s took the rather large “boot” trophy at the end of the morning. At the end of April, over 120 minis went on tour to Gloucester, where a success and fun weekend was had by all. Thank you to the minis’ chair for his commitment to the minis and the club as a whole. The Ladies Walking Rugby has been a great success, and CSC is most grateful to the volunteers for their commitment to the initiative. The ladies also put on a demonstration at the Hawkhurst village fete and despite a nervous start, was very much enjoyed by those taking part and those watching. They will soon be looking to play competitive matches. To develop this rugby asset further, the club aims to set up Men’s Walking Rugby team. Two excellent coaches from within the club have been secured to drive this forward. CSC’s affiliation with Quins has this year seen over 250 members benefitting and enjoying the Big Game in December 2024 and look forward to the Big Summer Kick Off in May, as well as the club hosting Quins rugby camps in August and October school holidays. For our young players that have got to play on the hallowed turf, or be mascots for the teams, these days really are memory makers. CSC’s pitches and grounds continue to look brilliant all year round and thanks must go to the ground maintenance team for all their hard work in ensuring that the grass is mown and pitches marked each week. The Section 106 monies received has enabled the club to install a new drainage system on Fitz, which has benefitted the whole club with the improved pitch conditions. CSC was also able to purchase new grounds care equipment, which has also made a huge improvement to the grounds 4 across the club. The club held six lunches over the 24/25 rugby season, with the Christmas lunch having 220 people enjoying the food and festivities, despite it being held in late November. New during 24/25 was the Golden Boot Team of the Month, kindly sponsored by The Golden Boot in Maidstone. This was well received across the club, and thanks must go to all sections and age group coaches for submitting the player of the month promptly. The Biddenden Vineyard sponsored senior player of the match has also been appreciated by the men and ladies this season. Fundraising for the new clubhouse has stepped up a gear 24/25 as we focus efforts to be able to start the build. A number of events have been held including a Barn Dance, a Club Quiz and a Christmas Fair. Future planned events include the bi-annual Weald Rural Games event, and a Kevin Sinfield Evening to raise money for both the clubhouse build and Motor Neurone Disease. The support from our club Sponsors continues to ensure the club has financial stability, and thanks must go to each and every one of them who give so generously, but especially to our main sponsor, The Ridge Golf Club and Inca Adventure Golf. It is often said that CSC is a club run by its members for its members, and this is so true. None of what CSC achieves as a club would be possible without the time, dedication and energy that the numerous volunteers commit and contribute across the whole year. The Kent Rugby and Honda Volunteer awards saw several club members receive awards and recognition for their volunteering efforts across the years Whilst talking about volunteers, a massive congratulations must go to long standing committee member, previous club Chair and President, and the Club’s Head Groundsman Mark Scott for being nominated and subsequently selected to attend a 2-day event at Twickenham as part of the Honda Volunteer Recognition Programme, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to everything at Cranbrook.

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 surplus or deficit 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 29/01/2026 Page 2 ## **Cranbrook Sports Club Accountant's Report For The Year Ended 30 April 2025** In accordance with the engagement letter dated , and in order to assist you to fulfil your duties under the Companies Act 2006, we have compiled the financial statements of the company from the accounting records and information and explanations you have given to us. This report is made to the directors in accordance with the terms of our engagement. Our work has been undertaken to prepare for approval by the directors the financial statements that we have been engaged to compile, to report to the directors that we have done so, and to state those matters that we have agreed to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's directors for our work or for this report. You have acknowledged on the balance sheet as at year ended 30 April 2025 your duty to ensure that the company has kept proper accounting records and to prepare financial statements that give a true and fair view under the Companies Act 2006. You consider that the company is exempt from the statutory requirement for an audit for the year. We have not been instructed to carry out an audit of the financial statements. 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. 29/01/2026 Ditton Accounting IFA Suite 3 1st Floor Unit 2 Crown Yard, Bedgebury Estate Goudhurst Kent TN17 2QZ Page 3 ## **Cranbrook Sports Club Income and Expenditure Account For The Year Ended 30 April 2025** |**Notes**

Page 5 **Cranbrook Sports Club Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 30 April 2025** ## 1. **General Information** Cranbrook Sports Club is a private company, limited by guarantee, 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 No depreciation 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 (2024: ) ## 4. **Tangible Assets** ## **Land & Property** |**Cost**

I have been appointed under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 to carry out an independent examination of the accounts. My responsibility is to examine the accounts and to state whether any matters have come to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that: 1. Accounting records were not kept in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act; 2. The accounts do not accord with those records; 3. The accounts do not comply with relevant statutory requirements; 4. There is any other matter to which attention should be drawn to ensure a proper understanding of the accounts. ## Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report My examination was carried out in accordance with the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011. An independent examination includes reviewing the accounting records maintained by the charity, comparing the accounts presented with those records, and considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. It does not constitute an audit and therefore I do not express an audit opinion. ## Independent Examiner’s Statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to - keep accounting records in accordance with the Charities Act, and - prepare accounts that are consistent with those records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or - to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## Examiner’s Details **Name:** Andrea Breakspear FMAAT FMICB MCIPP **Address:** Hengistbury, Steeds Lane, Ashford TN26 1NQ **Signature:** __________________________ **Date:** 4 February 2026
