## **2. Achievements and Performance**
## **Summary**
- This has been a year of consolidation. Adult membership has increased by 9% which is very pleasing. We have continued to maintain the infrastructure of the Club with major repairs to the kitchen roof. We have continued to invest in the facilities offered with the purchase of new furniture for the veranda and patio area
- Revenue from subscriptions increased from £25,895 to £28,205.

## **3. Vision**
Our vision is that Purley Bury Tennis Club will be recognised as a good place to play tennis in Croydon, where members feel a strong sense of pride and belonging, and they participate to ensure the continued success of the club.
## **4. Volunteering Ethos**
Purley Bury Tennis Club, the Charity and PBTC Social Ltd are run _by_ the members _for_ the members and for the Community in Croydon. It is expected that members contribute _what_ they can, _when_ they can, to the successful running of the Club.
## **5. Membership**
The focus of the 2023/24 season was to grow the membership base from the previous season across all membership categories but concentrating on continuing to succeed in converting off peak memberships and coaching memberships into the full adult category. The adult coaching programme continued to be successful and fed into the club additional full adult members and additional off-peak members – giving in total a 9% increase in adult playing members. This resulted in the revenue derived from membership increasing from £25,895 last year to £28,205.
Subscriptions for some membership categories were increased last playing season to help cover the Club’s increased costs. As before we offered pro rata rates for members who joined part-way through the year and offered special offers at certain times of the membership year. We looked at ways to promote ourselves during the year for example opening up the courts and the club house for the Coronation.
The Club continued to keep the Junior subscriptions low, and the good-value membership to parents encouraged them to join, enabling them to play with their children. The Club continued to use its close links with local schools to attract Junior members and their parents.
The discounted membership was retained for Students to encourage their continued membership while they were away at university.
The separate Disability section remained popular with the regular free coaching evening split into two sessions – junior and senior. The sessions continued to recruit new volunteers to help – both Adult and Junior members.
The Club has a website and a Facebook page and uses Twitter and WhatsApp groups to promote itself. We may look to advertise again in local train stations and supermarkets.

With the bar back open on a Friday evening during the Junior and disability sessions the social membership of PBTC Social has started to grow again.

## **6. The Tennis**
The Club ran regular sessions for all members.
- Social tennis for Full members on Sunday mornings, and five social tennis rotas, on Monday evenings, 1730-1900hrs, 1900-2030hrs and 2030-2200hrs, and Thursday evenings, 1900-2030hrs and 2030-2200hrs.

- For Adults we offer one-to-one sessions and sessions for small groups, and also a Rusty Rackets session on a Monday and Thursday evening, which is very popular, plus a Friday morning session for intermediate/club standard players and an Over 50’s session.
Page of 2023 Purley Bury Tennis Club Trustees Report4 8
- The Club fields men’s, ladies’ and mixed teams in leagues. There have been no friendly matches against other local clubs since the summer of 2019.
- Match practice evenings for the ladies’ teams took place on Wednesday nights and for the men’s teams on Tuesday nights.
- Friday nights were fun nights for Juniors, including coaching, junior events and community sessions.
- MDL Coaching and its team of volunteers continued to develop the Disability tennis sessions for both children and adults. Due to the popularity of these sessions, these were split into children and adult groups and run as 2 x 45-minute sessions. These continued to take place on Friday evenings.
- ‘Super Friday’ continued whereby we managed to fill the courts from 0900hrs to 1930hrs with players of all ages and standards.
- In addition the Club saw a huge rise in the number of parents joining the tennis club to participate and play with their children, and a rise in adults looking to take up the game.
- MDL Coaching saw record numbers in attendance at its Holiday Tennis Camps.
## **7. Competition Programme**
The Club held a Summer tournament for both Adults and Juniors, including a plate competition for adults.
For Juniors the club ran:
- Grade 6 Competitions at the weekend internally and externally
- LTA team tennis and LTA team trophy
- Road to Wimbledon
- Team Challenge Competition in coaching sessions
- Family Cup for parents and children
- Disability Team Challenge Events

## **8. Coaching and Development**
## **Adults**
MDL Coaching offered coaching for adults on Monday nights for Rusty Rackets and on Friday mornings for Club members. In addition, we continued our FREE Over-50s coaching session on Friday lunchtime. These sessions were open to people in the local community.
The funding has now finished but these sessions continue to run on a paid basis and many of the attendees have joined the Club and meet on a regular basis to play tennis.
We have also taken on more coaches to keep up with demand for one-to-one lessons and small groups.
We are hoping to continue introducing more adults to tennis through our Rusty Rackets coaching programme.
## **Juniors**
MDL Coaching offered courses for Juniors between 1600-1900hrs every weekday evening and 0900-1200hrs on Saturday morning during all three terms for each of the following groups:
DEVELOPMENT GROUPS (for mini tennis players and yellow ball players new to the sport or those not looking to compete)
Sessions are for players who play once/twice a week and are keen to improve and learn new tennis skills, have fun and make new tennis friends. These sessions are also suitable for players who are new to the sport. We try to put all players in groups with others of a similar age and ability.
COMPETITION SQUADS (mini tennis players aged 6yrs-10yrs)
Sessions are for players who play at least twice a week - comprising: those attending group sessions or 1:1 sessions; those playing in competitions or who have an interest in competing and representing MDL in matches against other clubs; those playing with parents or friends outside coaching sessions; or those who are above average ability for their age.
Players attending these sessions will be encouraged to enter LTA-sanctioned tournaments. INVITATION SQUADS (Yellow ball players aged 10yrs-18yrs)
Sessions are for players who have been a part of the MDL programme for many years and are established tennis players. They may play at least twice a week and comprise: those attending group sessions or 1:1 sessions; those playing in competitions or who have an interest in competing and representing MDL in matches against other clubs; those playing with parents or friends outside coaching sessions; or those who are above average ability for their age. They have a keen interest in tennis and a willingness to improve as a player.

In relation to the talent pathway, MDL Coaching ran talent identification sessions to admit players to the MDL Competition and Invitation Squads, but opened its doors to any player keen to play in competitions and represent Team MDL in competitions.
Talented Juniors were invited to Adult club team sessions and match practice as well, to help develop their game.
MDL Coaching’s school programme continues to be strong in the local area. This gives parents an easy way to get their children into tennis. The sessions complement each other and the school programme is an important part of getting new players into tennis.
MDL Coaching ran Holiday Tennis Camps during all school holidays every morning from 0900hrs-1200hrs, incorporating Mini Tennis & Fun, Fun Tennis & Team Games, Matchplay & Team Tennis, and these continued to grow in popularity. This encouraged more youngsters to join the coaching programme and the Club. Teen Tennis took place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons to allow our older players to socialise away from the younger players.
Our Pay-and-Play Community Tennis sessions on a Friday evening continue to be well received in the local community for both teenagers and the youngest of children, aged 3yrs upwards.
Our free Disability tennis coaching sessions continue every Friday, for junior Disability players and adult Disability players. These are split into separate sessions. This is one of the biggest disability programmes in Surrey and certainly the only programme in the local area for disabled people. 1715-1800hrs – Junior disability
1800-1845hrs – Adult disability
These are run by 2 x LTA coaches and a large group of volunteers/juniors, mainly members of the Tennis Club. These sessions are funded by the Croydon Community Fund and other grant providers.
We run coaching sessions in conjunction with MIND and The Autistic Society, and we are keen to run further sessions with local focus groups. We will continue to engage in activities promoted by the LTA and will work closely with the local authority

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Purley Bury Tennis Club CIO**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the **Purley Bury Tennis Club CIO** for the year ended 31[st] December 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Purley Bury Tennis Club CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Purley Bury Tennis Club CIO accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Purley Bury Tennis Club CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
