Duringthis time we have focused on a number of strategic priorities: l. Getting the governance and committee strutture setup and enga8in8 people to take on the specific requlred roles in order to meet out legal dutie5 under the charbties aci. l am pleased to report that this is now18r8ely complete. 2. In parallel with the settin8 up of the organtIOn we have cornpleted the financial integration of the senlor and Sunlor 5ettions and confirmed that the associatlon has the means to operate sustalnable at current activity levels. The annual report for the 12months to May 31" 2022 5s attached to this report and confirms reserve5 of LÉ15k at finandal year end, 5ufflcient to support more than l year of operatlons Without arry fvrther revenue. We consider this to be sufficlent at pre5enL 3. Our third priority area has been to ensure th, following restart of squash in late 2021, our artivities are setup to encourage maximum participation by as large a number of people as posslble. A key part of thiswork has been a revlew of the league rules and structure5 to update them ensure that both are fft for purpose to attract as wlde a playlng base as posslble. Th15 has been completed wlth new set of league rules Introduced In September 20222 for the current league seay>n. 4. We contlnue to work har(1 to enstsre that the lunlors are encouraged to take up and enjov squash as a core sport In order to replace the large number of older players who are stoppln8 squash or swltchln8 to other sports such as paddle or racketball. Successful coaching pro8rammes run at East Glos, Old Pats, Wycliffel Stroud and the Cheltenham Colleges. We are Seeking addltlonal coa to expand the number of locatlons for these programmes. Ad(litlonal the junlor county devebopment programme contlnues to flourlsh under the direction of Mark Toseland. 5. The county closed tournament was also held in Sept 2022 and, althou8h the entry was small, there was some high qualrty squash with Will Salter ultimately belng crowned as our Senior County Champlon for 2022. A very well done to Will and to runner up Jamie Carmlchael. In 2023 we wlll hold the county closed eadter in the year Immediate following the completion of the sprin8 leagues over the weekend of Aprll 1° and 2 . As well 8$ the single event, we will add a doubles event to the tournament weekend and hope that this will attract an Increased entry over recent years. 6. As we look forward to 2023 and beyond. we will continue our efforts to grow the player b3se with actlvlties to encourage new players to take the sport. This will requlre promotional activitie5 and publicity and we are developing plans to increase the awareness of squash and racketball as swrts around the communities of Gloucestershlre.
Annual Review 2022 7. Finally, I want to thank the Trustees. the officers of the GSA and the members of the management committee for their hard work over the last several years in very difficult conditions. Without them giving their time f1V and without muneratIon there would not be a GSA and you as our members would not be able to enjoy the benefits of the activities that are puton for both adu5 and1unr$. Partlcylar thanks go to MarkToseland for his efftjrt of the last 5 years, freqyently with no other support. Without him, I think it unlikely that there would be a functioning GSA today. I must also emphasise that we need our members to engage arbd volunteer to supportthe associatn across the range of our activities in order to share the burden. I would therefore ask that all clubs ensure that thw take an active part In the management of the association as we 80 forward. Thank you all for attending tonlght and l am happy to take any question you may have before I pa over to our TreaSUr to present the report and account for approval.
