Trustees Annual Report for the year ended on 31st March 2025
The trustees are pleased to present this annual report of Halifax Bridge Club CIO (referenced later as ‘HBC’ or ‘the club’) that was registered as charity number 1185172 on 4th September 2019, but did not take over the running of the club unMl 9 June 2020. The registered office is at 44 PrescoR Street, HALIFAX, HX1 2QW.
The old Halifax & District Bridge AssociaMon 1150002 was closed officially on 20 September 2023. This report covers the period 01 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.
Objec=ves
The club maintains premises for the purposes of providing bridge playing opportuniMes for its beneficiaries. Encouragement, lessons and faciliMes are made available to aRract all those who want to engage in the sport of bridge. Membership is open and visitors are welcome.
The objects of the CIO are:
-
The advancement of amateur sport by promoMng the game of bridge for the benefit of residents of Halifax and the surrounding area.
-
The provision of faciliMes for the learning, teaching and playing of bridge for the benefit of residents of Halifax and the surrounding area with the object of improving condiMons of life.
Achievements
The club provided 8,696 player sessions for its members this year. 75th Anniversary of our club will be in April 2025 and preparaMon of several events is the order of the last few months.
F2F
On Monday acernoons HBC and Queens Sports Club jointly play at Queens’ where Improvers enjoy a supervised session with a bridge talk preceding the play.
Teams’ sessions take up 2 Mondays each month and for the other Mondays we offer Pairs-for-Teams for pairs to be able to play without a full team representaMon. Tuesday acernoon sessions remain popular with 9+ tables most weeks.
Wednesday evenings duplicate bridge witnesses a healthy average of 7 tables per week. Thursday morning supervised sessions have slowly changed from helping Improvers to social 18boards duplicate bridge.
In October we aRempted to introduce a more compeMMve event on Thursday evenings and encourage other clubs to parMcipate.
Friday evenings provide Improvers with a pracMce session preceded by a bridge topic each week.
Online Bridge
Online bridge players conMnue to aRend Tuesday and Friday evening sessions at Halifax Bridge Club via BBO. These are essenMal opportuniMes for members who prefer this format and those who cannot or do not wish to visit the clubhouse.
Current posiMon
HBC’s strategy to accommodate a more social and relaxed atmosphere conMnues to be successful. Bimonthly we held social bridge events to celebrate Halloween, Burns Night, Step-into-Spring with food and drinks that always draw a good crowd.
Learners/Improvers over the last 2 years are integraMng well into the club, bringing a younger profile to our membership. Some parMcipate in main duplicate events and club compeMMons that greatly help their bridge skills.
Two Weekend Workshops have so far been useful for member wishing to sharpen up their bridge with convenMon/play topics followed by demonstraMon hands.
Building repairs
In the last 12 months, the roof on the single Storey extension has had to be repaired because of thec of the lead flashing.
The roofers recommended that the whole of this roof should be replaced and re-Mled due to its very bad condiMon. This was agreed at a Trustees’ meeMng.
Equipment
At the end of 2024 Yorkshire Contract Bridge AssociaMon (YCBA) offered its clubs a grant for new bridge operaMonal capital equipment, so we took the opportunity to buy a laptop, printer and tablets.
Yorkshire Winter League
The club saw two teams represenMng Halifax this year. Our first team did well and should be promoted from Division 5 to 4 next year. Our second team also competed well and only missed promoMon narrowly.
Complaints/Appeals
The moAo for all players is always to be kind and tolerant towards their partners, opponents, and TDs.
Overall, there have been few official complaints or disputes.
Beginners
Lessons for beginners started at the beginning of October 2024. Teaching is delivered via videos from YCBA watched at home then come to the clubhouse to play for nearly 2 hours on Wednesday acernoon.
The club wants to thank all the helpers who volunteer their Mme to assist our learners.
Premises
The trustees conMnue to look for alternaMve premises so they can provide the members with a club where everything is on the ground floor and there is ample free parking.
Club Compe==ons
Thank you to everyone who played in the club compeMMons this year. We generally had a good turnout for the events which were above average’ to the corresponding normal club nights. There were a variety of winners suggesMng we have good strength in depth within the club.
Although not a ‘board compeMMon’ the 75[th] anniversary bridge marathon was a highlight of the year and aRracted very posiMve engagement from the members, including 16 players who completed all 76 boards, roughly 10 hours of bridge. There was also a visit from the Mayor that was well received.
I would like to encourage more entries from less experienced players and would welcome ideas on how to achieve this. The events that were targeted at this group of players- the NGS adjusted pairs and the Simple Systems- did have a lower average NGS than for the other compeMMons, suggesMng that there was a higher proporMon of players with a lower NGS raMng in those events. I hope that players had a good experience in these events and that it would encourage them to play in the other compeMMons.
With this in mind it had been suggested that we add a new compeMMon for 2025-2026 which would be a ‘Random Pairs’ events - i.e. partnerships will be determined on the night. This worked well at the 75[th] anniversary bridge marathon.

There were some teething issues with the Pivot teams that was cancelled due to having an odd number of teams and again due to snow. There was a computer glitch on the Swiss Pairs and this event has been rescheduled for June 26[th] .
The Trustees have asked for the events in 2025-26 to be primarily run on a Thursday evening, so as not to disrupt the duplicate evening on Wednesdays and the Mmetable for events for 2025-26 is included below.
Thank you to the Tournaments Directors and scorers who have helped organize the events, parMcularly for the individual compeMMon, ‘Swiss’ events, and NGS adjusted pairs which were technically difficult to set up. I will be contacMng the TDs following the AGM regarding support for the forthcoming years compeMMons.
It would be helpful to have more TDs and the club can support members with doing the Directors course. Please contact the Trustees if this would be of interest.
Finally, congratulaMons to everyone who won a trophy this year.
With thanks
Andy

Financial Report
The club is financially strong with £133,309 in its bank accounts as of 31 March 2025 and premises valued around £150,000. The club has made a surplus this year of £9,233 that will offset the rest of the 2022-23 deficit and contribute to the alternaMve premises fund.
Bank accounts
£100,000 has been placed in a Virgin Money 24-month term deposit charity account paying 4.5% that will mature in August 2025.
£30,006 is in a NatWest 95 Day account paying around 3.5%.
£1,032 is in a NatWest Reserve account paying around 1.25%.
£1,586 is in a NatWest Current account paying 0%.
£1,000 is kept in the current account, we could manage with there being almost nothing in the current account at the beginning of the month because payments in at the beginning of the month are enough to cover payments out later in the month. An addiMonal £1,000 is kept in the reserve account for unexpected expenses. Everything else, except the money in the Virgin account, is kept in the 95-day account, which can be accessed without loss of interest with 95 days’ noMce. It is hoped
that the £100,000 in the Virgin account will one day go towards facilitaMng a move to alternaMve premises.
Financial AdministraMon
Finances are monitored by the Treasurer and Chair, and by monthly reports to the Trustees, members can see the financial reports below. We use free accounMng socware provided by NatWest (FreeAgent), and player aRendance is monitored using a BridgeWebs ARendance module. This year because the turnover is over £25,000, the finances will be independently examined by K.R.A. Accountants.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31/03/2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, 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 Trust’s 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 which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts did 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.
