## BATTC from April 2020 until March 2021 During the period from April 2020, until March 2021, there were a lot of different and new aspects at play in the club. Lockdown eased as of July 2020, and the club managed to reopen, however with restrictions in place for under 18 sports only to resume, the club lost a lot of its members from not being able to return due to guidelines, and sessions were not as busy, with sometimes only five to six people attending one night. In terms of running sessions, this can with its own obstacles, purchasing PPE (and applying for grants for this), understanding new and constant updated guidance from TTE, and planning and find a suitable new hall to use, as with the additional space needed, the school had taken use of the clubs usual playing hall (the school’s exam hall). A lot of this planning was done between April and July, before session resumed. A new system was purchased, to enable players to book onto session, to help with restricted numbers, and court sizes were widened and lengthened, so to allow extra room for social distancing. Extra purchases of table cleaner, anti-bacterial spray, cloths, PPE for coaches, and additional equipment (one use bats for any new individuals) were made, which also impacted the amount of time of set up and take down. April until reopening in July 2020 consisted of online quizzes by the club to keep in contact with members and a lot of social media outreach. Like a lot of places, we tried to put on as many sessions as possible, however, attendance, whilst good to start, slowly dropped for some sessions, in line with Covid rates. In October 2020, the club saw a change in committee, with our full-time head coach and chairman, resigning . In-between this, another lockdown from November until December. With the restart looming, the club was preparing to welcome back some members, until another blow and lockdown stopped this happening until April .2021 Overall, in this period, a total of nine months, the club was closed for, suffering a huge loss in numbers, returning players, income for the club, and sense of community feel, a lot of tasks moved online, but with limited responses and not as much feedback. Unfortunately, the clubs apprentice was furloughed, and unable to help with tasks, leaving most of the work to the then chairman and head coach. When he departed, a change in a lot of tasks and positions needed to be implemented, and the club was faced with two options, continue to go on, or close completely. If not for volunteer support, and the help of local people, it would not be open currently so we thank all those involved for their huge efforts from which we have been able to build upon. We go onwards and upwards, .rebuilding as we go ## **Bishop Auckland Table Tennis Club Statement of Financial Activities - April 2020 March 2021 - Charity number 1192279** Please note the statement of financial activities, although unnesessary because the income is less than £25,000, have been independently .examined The total funds carried forward as at 31st March 2020 were £33,671.62 .which include ring fenced funds amounting to £10,000 Therefore unrestricted funds amounted to £23,671.62 ## **Income and expenditure account** ## Income **----- Start of picture text -----**
