_Trustees Annual Report 2022 / 2023_ 

_Dated 5[th] April 2024_ 

_Targetcraft Archers CIO are a target archery club based in the East Midlands. We are funded exclusively through membership fees and currently have in excess of 50 members ranging in age from ten to nearly eighty._ 

_Our objectives as a CIO are to promote our sport within the local community and to provide our membership with the facilities, opportunity and support to participate, develop their skills and enjoy the sport of archery._ 

_Since our last report we have established our goals for the 2023 / 24 archery year and these again are linked to our four key development pillars –_ _**People** –_ _**Community** –_ _**Finance** –_ _**Resources**_ 

_**People:** We have planned and started to deliver 4 archery beginner courses. These are run in accordance with our governing body (Archery GB’s) guidelines and recommendations. We have planned and started to deliver 6 taster sessions to provide an opportunity for our sport to be tried._ 

_We anticipate that through these courses and taster sessions people will have an opportunity to experience our sport and be encouraged to join our club._ 

_We have encouraged existing club members to take on new roles within the club culminating in the appointment of a new club secretary, a new club coach and a club volunteer taking up the position of club treasurer._ 

_**Community:** We have successfully completed a partnership with St Andrews School in Kettering to provide an after-school club for up to 28 children each week. These sessions were provided without charge to the school or children._ 

_We have also provided a “have-a-go” session for young carers and have plans to do this again in the summer of 2024._ 

_The club has provided a “have-a-go” session for doctors and nurses from Kettering General Hospital._ 

_We have planned an open day in August 2024 in order to introduce our sport and our facilities to the local community._ 

_We have also planned a family fun day where all club members will invite their family to experience our sport._ 

_The club have supported Family learning week at Kingsley Special Academy in Kettering by providing an archery experience for pupils with varied and complex needs and their parents._ 



_The majority of these community-based events are provided without charge._ 

_We will, on behalf of our County Archery Society host the first of their annual Caswell tournaments. These provide an opportunity for the counties archery community to come together in friendly competition._ 

_**Finance** :    The club charge an appropriate membership fee that ensures that the clubs’ fixed costs are covered and that reasonable sums are available to cover the planned purchase of new equipment or the maintenance of existing items. The membership fee structure is reviewed annually and membership types and numbers provide the backdrop for the discussion._ 

_**Resources:** The club continues to invest in equipment which can be used in schools, or on beginner courses or taster sessions. The club has introduced an opportunity for new members to hire equipment for a number of weeks. It is hoped that this option will provide new members with an opportunity to become familiar with the club and sport before having to invest significantly in their own equipment. The club is in the process of renewing all the equipment suitable for junior archers in order to bring this up to date In line with the adult equipment. The club is also investing again this year in new straw targets for the next indoor season._

Treasurers Report 2022/23 

Dated 19[th] April 2024 

Despite the challenging economic climate, overall income has increased compared to last year.  This is mainly due to more Beginners Courses and income for hire of equipment (included in other income). 

The club has maintained similar types of expenditure to previous years. The small loss mainly relates to the £5,912 expenditure on various items of archery equipment to increase the scope of the clubs activities and to maintain our existing equipment base. 

The club has had a successful year and fulfilled its stated objectives whilst maintaining healthy reserves.
