## **NEWHAVEN GIG ROWING CLUB (SUSSEX)** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Introduction** 

Welcome to NGRC's Trustees' Annual Report. This report summarises its membership breakdown, activities delivered between April 2023 and March 2024, governance and financial arrangements, as well as activities undertaken between April and December 2024. 

The Trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **Membership Numbers & Demographics** 

Membership as at March 1st 2024: 

- Total full active members 67 -  43 female (64%) 24 male (36%) 

- 'Veterans' Aged ages 40-50 - female 7, male 3 (15% share of 67 total) 

- 'Super vets' 50-70 - female 35, male 10 (67%) 

- 'Masters' 70+ - female 4, male 8 (18%). The oldest Member is 84. 

Please note during March, memberships are renewed for the start of the new rowing year in April 2024, so there is an element of variation between those not renewing, those late in paying their annual membership fees, and those paying as associates ('pay as you go'), the latter who tend to row during the warmer months. Based on experience from previous years, during June/July, membership figures can swell up by between 30-50%. 

## **Classes & Activities delivered** 

Types of Row 'classes' 

- 'Taster' rows - delivered by qualified coaches, for people wanting to see what gig rowing is like before they commit to signing up for a learn to row course 

- Learn to row course -  It can take 6-10 weeks to pass as a competent rower. The capacity is four learner rowers during a row session, accompanied by two competent rowers and a cox. 

- Technique rows - for newly trained rowers and other competent rowers to hone their skills. 

- Social rows - for the casual rower, wishing to be active with like-minded rowers and without the pressure to compete or undertake challenging physical exercise. These are scheduled for one hour slots during the week. They also include special occasions often for over an hour and involving a small flotilla of gig rowing boats, such as bank holiday pic-nic rows, summer Solstice sunrise and sunset rows, Remembrance Sunday row 

- Race Training rows - for members who are committed to compete and be selected for participating at racing regattas. Includes sessions at a local gym and use of indoor rowing machines at the clubhouse- Cox's Training Courses -  under the guidance of a qualified coach, encompasses classroom learning and coached/observed practical learning at the marina and in the boats.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Community Engagement Update** 

NGRC promotes its activities, primarily through its website, public and members only Facebook pages and informal contacts. Other than 'being seen' with its gig boats out on the water, whether that's at race regattas, social rows or special events such as Remembrance Sunday, the club engages with the community at local social and fundraising events (eg; Denton Community Challenge). Rather than having its own bar and café, NGRC is a regular user of local businesses, including catering establishments, local gym, and chandlery. 

NGRC proactively engages with other local rowing clubs (Affinity Rowing Club, Lewes Gig Rowing Club), with these clubs sharing a floating pontoon at Newhaven Marina. NGRC jointly organised both the Seaford Bay and Head of the Ouse Regattas during 2023, pooling organisational, safety, coxing, fundraising skills and boat & berthing resources for participation by clubs along the South Coast and London. NGRC is also collaborating with these clubs to seek opportunities arising from local marina, quayside and beach developments. 

NGRC is a member of the Cornish Pilot Gig Association (CPG), and one of our cox/coaches is a regional rep on British Rowing. These national organisations are key to promoting rowing (Gig rowing specifically with the CPGA). This has enabled NGRC to participate and promote itself (and Newhaven!) at racing regattas nationwide, and benefit from latest good practice for training technique, and health & safety guidance. 

## **Update March-December 2024** 

Although this report officially covers the financial year April 2023 - March 2024, because nine months have passed since March, this section gives the opportunity to review activities and events that have overlapped into the financial year April 2024 - March 2025. A formal Annual Report covering the financial year 2024-2025  will be produced later in 2025. 

## Increasing Cox capacity 

The active coxing complement increased by one during late 2024 bringing the coxing complement to six. There are also an additional 3 members undergoing cox training. 

## Racing Events/ Regattas The club attended: 

- Appledore 'Super-Vets', 1st June 

- Seaford Bay Regatta, 29th June (jointly organised with Affinity Rowing Club, Lewes Gig Rowing Club) 

- Friday Races to Newhaven Lighthouse, Summer 2024 (mixed crews and coxes sharing gigs from Affinity Rowing Club, Lewes Gig Rowing Club and ourselves) 

- Langstone Regatta, Hayling Island, 20th July 

- Dragon Boat Racing, Bewl Water, 31st August 

- Head of the Ouse, 7th September (jointly organised with Affinity Rowing Club, Lewes Gig Rowing Club, and Lewes Rowing Club) 

- National Counties Championships, Swanage 5th October - cancelled due to high winds (training with mixed crews and coxes from Affinity Rowing Club, Lewes Gig Rowing Club and ourselves was undertaken in preparation during the summer months) 

- Five Islands Regatta, Poole Harbour 19th October 

## Fundraising/Social Events 

Denton Community Challenge, 8th June. The catering tent run by the Club at both the Seaford Bay and Head of the Ouse Regattas were significant sources of fundraising income. The Dragon Boat racing event raised funds for St Wilfred's Hospice. 

In addition planned and impromptu social events, the club participated in commemorative and seasonal events in our gigs, including D-Day anniversary, Remembrance Sunday, and Summer Solstice morning and evening rows.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## Wooden Boat Purchase 

Henry Smardon was purchased from Brixham Gig Rowing Club in June. The Club is very grateful to Lewes District Council whose grant funding paid for her. She has since been renamed Martlet, and is awaiting her new name to be painted on her during warmer weather. She took part as Henry Smardon in the Langstone, Head of the Ouse, and Five Islands Regattas during 2024. A decision had previously been made to replace Amelie our original wooden gig, as she was no longer considered suitable to race competitively. Amelie is currently in dry storage with Martlet during the winter months, and awaiting sale. 

## **Governance structures of the organisation, and any ongoing organisational change** 

NGRC is a charity, which is governed by a Trustees Chair and their Trustees. 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

The main aim of the club is getting people out rowing. 

Delegated by the Club's Trustees, a Committee oversees the delivery of the Club's aims & objectives, and supporting activities of the club. 

There are various objectives/ roles that the Committee, undertakes to support this aim, including (in alphabetical order): Boats & Equipment maintenance (Bosun)- ensuring that the club's boats (wooden gigs Amelie and Martlet and GRP 'plastic' gigs Aurora and John Carthew) and equipment are available according to the needs of the club, and stored and maintained to a safe standard. 

Cox Liaison (Volunteer coach/cox) - providing a two-way channel between the Committee and Coxs & Coaches meeting, and jointly plan the availability of different types of row in order to meet demand. 

Finance (Finance Officer) - ensuring that the club if financially viable where its income covers expenses for running expenses and identified developments. This includes; securing grants, fundraising activities and managing income from membership and row fees. Also ensuring that the club undertakes its obligation of submitting signed annual accounts. Governance (Chair) - in support of delivering the clubs aims and objectives, ensuring that policies, guidance, and processes are in place and reviewed according to latest best practice and legal requirements. 

Health & Safety (H&S Officer) - ensuring that members are safe and secure whilst rowing, but also when getting in and out of boats, and helping with the maintenance of boats. A Risk log is maintained to identify and mitigate any identified risks and issues, along with an accident book to record any incident and follow up action. 

Membership (Membership Officer) - overseeing membership enquiries, new membership applications, and administering current membership. 

Publicity (Publicity Officer) - promoting the club and its activities to its members, the public, and key stakeholders through social media, including the NGRC website and at participation at events and activities. Racing (Race/Regatta Secretary) - oversight, organisation, participation in racing events. 

Safeguarding & Welfare (Safeguarding & Welfare Officer) - ensuring that the health, well-being, and human rights of our members are upheld whilst participating in club activities. The club's code of conduct outlines good practice behaviours in support of its commitment to safeguarding with concerns being addressed through the club's complaints policy. 

Social (Shared between Committee members) - organisation and coordination of events, other than rowing that support the emotional health of the club and fundraising activities. 

Strategy (Chair) - through the delivery of a business plan, oversee the future development of the club and address future challenges and opportunities. 

Prior to each Annual General Meeting, expressions of interest are requested from all members to undertake committee roles. Existing Committee members stand from their role at the AGM.  If their roles are not contested, they are re-confirmed within their assigned roles. If however, there is more than one expression of interest, the successful candidate is the one with the majority of votes made by members at the meeting. 

Although there has been no significant organisational change, vacancies for roles do arise during the year, and expressions of interest are sought from members, with appointments made by the Committee on an interim basis until confirmed at the subsequent AGM. Since the previous AGM (16th June 2023), the following appointments were made due to resignations/ historic vacancies*

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

- Chairperson 

- Safeguarding & Welfare 

- Finance Officer 

- Fundraising (in support of the Finance officer and coordinating social activities) 

- Bosun 

Since the AGM, there has been the appointment of 3 Trustees. This brings the Trustees' complement up to it planned strength of 5, including its chair. 

## **Financial overview** 

A key objective of the club is to ensure that it is financially viable where its income covers expenses for running expenses and identified developments. 

Being a registered charity, Annual Accounts are prepared, signed off by its Trustees and submitted to the Charity Commission following the Annual General Meeting. This Annual Report of the Trustees accompanies the Annual Accounts. 

Income and expenditure is administered through a business account with Barclays, which is also linked to a club Paypal account that receives income from row bookings. Accounting software 'Quickbooks' is also used. 

In recognition of its membership demographic, membership fees (£60yr) and booked rows (£4 a row) are kept to a minimum, with no planned fee increases between April 2024 and March 2025. Administered by the Trustees, a bursary is also advertised to members needing additional subsidy to row. 

Other than membership and row income, income is secured through applying for grants and undertaking fundraising activities. 

## **Financial issues/ risk** 

Any issues/ risk are mitigated by good financial management within its governance structure and related financial activities. 

There were no experienced financial issues during 2023/24, other than a finance officer vacancy during 2023. A new finance officer is now in situ. Access to the bank account transactions by more than one Committee member has enabled the Committee to assure the Trustees that the club's finances are stable and not in deficit. 

There will always be an element of risk however, with unknown variable income (eg; from rows cancelled by the unseasonal adverse weather) and variable cost (eg; inflationary cost of consumables, and repairs). Pro-active fundraising has to date, mitigated against this risk however.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Newhaven Gig Rowing Club (Sussex)** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Newhaven Gig Rowing Club (Sussex) ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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.
