KNEBWORTH PARK CRICKET CLUB FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
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
-
Although some COVID restrictions were in place at various times during the year participation in cricket was largely unaffected. The club’s junior section had a fantastic year with record numbers attended, reflecting the public desire to get active outdoors again.
-
Excellent availability meant we were able to field 4 senior sides which included a number of juniors and women.
-
The club celebrated it’s 150 year anniversary with an open family day in late August reflecting the important role it has played for the local community over a long period.
-
The club continued to regularly host various sides from Herts County and acted as a base for their junior section midweek training sessions.
-
Careful management of club funds and great volunteer commitment meant we again finished the season in good financial shape..
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 on 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 currently has five 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”
