KNEBWORTH PARK CRICKET CLUB FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

Objectives and Activities

The primary purpose of the charity is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of facilities for playing cricket.

Public Benefit

The trustees have given careful consideration to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit:

• Membership of the club is open to all comers. There is no test of skill for membership

• Junior open training sessions for girls and boys are held each Sunday morning and Friday evening during the summer.

• Senior Training Sessions are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings throughout the season.

• Indoor nets sessions are held every weekend for Juniors and Seniors from January to April

• The club benchmarks its match fees and membership subscriptions against other local cricket and sports clubs to ensure affordability. The club makes provision for those who may be unable to pay due to financial hardship.

• No admission charge is made to spectators wishing to watch matches.

Achievements and Performance

• The covid pandemic made for a challenging season with no recreational cricket played until July. As a result there was no promotion or relegation from any leagues

• On recommencement, excellent availability meant we were able to field 4 senior sides which included a number of juniors and women.

• Junior numbers attending training significantly increased on last year with good performances from all sides in their hastily re-arranged friendly matches

• The club regularly hosted various sides from Herts County and acted as a base for their junior section midweek training sessions.

• The club was fortunate to receive grants from both the ECB and Sport England together with the generous donations of both members and ex members enabling the club to finish a torrid season on financially stable footings.

Financial Review

Total receipts amounted to £50,046. After payments of £39,132 the net receipts for the year amounted to £10,914.

The trustees consider the year-end financial position to be satisfactory and confirm that it is able to meet all it’s know obligations.

Reserves policy

The trustee’s policy is to hold reserves sufficient to meet the clubs running costs during the close season. In addition the trustees wish to build the reserves in order to assist funding a planned ground move.

Plans for the future

• The club plans to continue providing coaching, training and playing opportunities to players of all age, gender and backgrounds.

• The club will continue to invest in equipment and playing facilities to improve the playing experience for all players

• The club plans to continue to promote membership numbers with particular emphasis Juniors and women.

• The club will continue to maintain the clubhouse to ensure it meets its minimum requirements. It is not the intention to invest further than necessary in the building given the pending ground relocation.

Structure, Governance and management

Knebworth Park Cricket Club was established as a foundation CIO on 08 Oct 2019 and registered with the Charity Commission. On 1[st] Oct 2019 the assets and activities of the unincorporated club of the same name were transferred to the CIO.

Appointment and recruitment of Trustees

The charity has six trustees. The constitution states that, at any one time, must have no fewer than 3 trustees there is no maximum number of trustees. When vacancies arise the approach will be to examine the skill sets of the existing trustees and examine whether an interested party could usefully add to the overall skill set of the existing trustees.

Trustees Induction and Training

All new trustees will be provided copies of:

• The constitution

• The latest set of accounts

And are encouraged to read the Charity Commission guidance notes CC3 – “the Essential Trustee, what you need to know, what you need to do”
