Chair Report for Charity Commission Annual Report for Y/E 30 Sept 2022
Sustoinobility
The trustee a nd committee work continues and includes reviewing and managing
governance, safety, welfare, tra ining provision, providing rowing for all mem bers of the
club, insurance, providing a web site, ema il communication a nd a newsletter. The Trustee,
Committee and Officer positions are al I carried out by volunteers who devote a large chunk
of time to the management of the Club. We are constantly seeking new 'blood' to help and
keep Helford alive to the chal lenges it faces.
The club trustees and committee are working and developing structure a nd procedures to
mainta in and improve governa nce and ma nagement of the club. The Trustees settling into
their roles are now meeting with better information from the management committee. This
has enabled the Boa rd of Trustees to be more focussed on the Objects of the charity and
ensuri ng we remai n complaint to our Constitution.
Risk
There have been no reported accidents during the period, though there have been a few
'near-misses'.
Ivlembership
The club still represents a mix of age and ability, and we feel that we meet our objectives of
providing hea Ithy recreation for all the community. The mix however is not idea l as shown
in the membershi p analysis. We need to address this and will be actively seeking to
encourage involvement and commitment of male and young rowers. Our junior
membership grew during the year with a welcome influx of young and able rower5 aged the
12 to 13. Many of the 'old hand, Juniors have passed over to be Cadets and are actively
pursui ng trai ning and competitive rowing.

Resources
The club continues to ensure that it maintains its faci lities a nd equipment. To this end we
have a very proactive maintenance pol icy. Bob, Johnnie and team continue their excellent
work on the maintenance of the gigs, oars, trolleys and trailers. Both Morgawr a nd Helford
are in good condition and require limited wi nter maintena nce. The split in one of Morgawr's
planks was repaired by Peter Williams in August.
Pedn Billy after two seasons of relatively heavy use on the Helford by the Club members
requires a sand and revarnish interna Ily. Oars need some work, and the trailers are all in
good order.
Plans a Iso move forward on the sale of land to assist with the development of our clubhouse
facility at Gweek. Planning has been granted and a 106 decla ration has been signed such
that we can soon offer the land for sale through a n agent.
Communication
A big thank you goes out to Rachel Ratcliffe who has put in a tremendous amount of effort
redeveloping the web site and membership system. In addition, we have a Newsletter that,
although recently on-hold due to all the web development, will be sent out monthly or
every two months.
