The club has a partnership with a local school where the club shares the facilities with the school and makes a contribution towards the running costs annually. The current agreement runs out in 2035.

A trustees meeting is held three times a year to discuss the various functions of the charity and the work being carried out by Trustees and volunteers.

Major Risks:

Partnership agreement is terminated by the school
Main sponsor pulls out without much notice
Financial contengencies not sufficient
Key Management Committee members leave
Local competition

Procedures to manage the above 1-5

Regular meetings to ensure that BOTH partners are aware of their obligations as per the agreement. Regular communication and updates to esnure various tasks are fulfilled. Agreement is the cornerstone of the partnership and both parties are aware that it is called into question if either party is in breach.
Club’s finnancial streams are: memership fees, donations, fund raising events and sponsorship by local business community. The club is very much aware that all of these streams are not guranteed so that has to be ongoing efforts to refresh income streams. The Management Committee discussses monthly accounts and there is a tight schedule of commitments and can only be approved by a delegated responsibility to treasurer and the

Chairperson.

Club is not in a position to have large sums of money due to small income streams. However Club is aware that there are events during the financial year that may bring emergencies where funds will be needed to ensure operations are not hampered. The contengecy fund is present but small.
Club is eneged in succession planning but due to the volunteer nater of the positions it is difficult to fill positions as not many members are willing to take on the responsibility of running the club. However there is commitment to securing individuals who show interest and commitment of time. This is a difficult area but attempts to overcome these barriers is ongoing.
In the vicinity of the club there are 4 other cricket clubs. However Attock is unique in that it enjoys support from members who are willing to help the club to carry out certain taks that otherwise would cost the club. It is this community and family friendly ethos that has survived the club for the past 37 years. We are very much committed to volunteering nature of our operations as if that evaporates the club will cease to exist. This would be a great loss to the community and members and the local community are aware of this.

Summer Camp Week 2 TAR 5 Novomber 2024

A long tradition of summer camp at Attock was reignited this summer for children during the vacations. It goes without saying that in the absence of any organized activities many would sit at home in front of TV or glued to their mobiles. A short survey of club’s youth showed that a lot of the children will not get to go on holidays so need something to productively occupy their time. As soon as the summer camp was publicized there was a very rapid uptake, far exceeding Club’s expectations. With good planning and delivery, the 4 weeks proved to be very popular with average attendance of around 88%.

The success of this project means that we have some work to do to continue to support our young people during the summer holidays. Finally club would like to acknowledge the support from Moseley School for opening up the facilities for this to happen.

Memorial cup was held on Sunday 25[th] August, when almost all members got involved, the whole day playing cricket and raising funds for a water project in Pakistan. Almost £1200 was raised for two water wells and these will be reported in the 24-25 trustee report.

2023 memorial cup funds were raised and water projects were supported in partnership with another charity as shown in the photograph below.
