TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements for the year 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023.

This report highlights our achievements in 2023, and our outlook for 2024 and beyond.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit. The Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and maintain sufficient unrestricted funds in order that the charity can run efficiently and continue to meets its aims.

What we are here to do:

It is worth repeating TSC’s charitable objects as this is what guides us as trustees, they are:

We will continue to achieve this by providing great sporting activity on the River Thames at Surbiton through the provision of Sailing and Stand Up Paddle boarding activities. These will include training, racing and general skills development and education.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

REVIEW OF PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2023

What We Achieved:

2023 was a year of normal operations for the Club. Changes in key Flag Officer positions (Vice Commodore, and Rear Commodore (Events & Promotions)) brought stability to those roles and enabled more focus on the needs of our members. A revival in Friday after-school youth sailing activities was a welcome return, and was a popular addition to the Club’s normal activities, and the introduction of smart new branded merchandise proved popular.

Our 2023 membership numbers were down on last year. Mostly due to a decline in individual SUP members of 24, whilst there were increases in other categories, notably Family Sailing membership which increased by 7 to 30.

The year ended with 184 Memberships broken down into the following categories:

30 Family Sailing memberships of multiple persons

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Kingston University continues to be a Corporate member with a group of circa 15 water sport users. It continues to be our intention to develop associations with other local educational establishments to further promote water sports as powerful physical as well as overall wellbeing activity.

Training got off to a slow start due to river conditions, with all sailing courses cancelled until May, and went on to have a busy summer season. The total income was similar to 2022 with a change in mix of courses towards powerboat away from adult SUP courses. We undertook 98 days of training (112 in 2022) to 297 students (301 in 2022). This continues to contribute significantly to the Club’s income.

The planning permission that we had previously secured in 2018 was renewed in 2022, starting the project is now reliant upon fundraising. In early 2023, following a review with external advisors, it was apparent that previous sources of funding had diminished post-Covid, and the cost of works increased significantly. This led the Trustees to determine that an alternative path for the future was required, and options were sought on how to achieve this in a staged manner.

The delays we have experienced in moving forward due to Covid has meant investment in the existing changing room facilities has taken a backseat. This, unfortunately, has led to a negative impact on member satisfaction in this space and is one of the areas most in need of upgrading now.

Matt Kyte resigned as Commodore in February 2024 after 3 years in position, and a total of 10 years on various committees, we thank him for his contribution to the life of the club. Vice Commodore Mark Laity took on the role of Chair of Trustees and acting Commodore.

Key Volunteers

TSC is built on the basis that all of its members are volunteers helping with the day to day operation and maintenance of the site. The Trustees greatly appreciate every hour that our members give back to the club and we have started to measure the contribution they make. During 2023 over 270 volunteer days were recorded, and we believe that the true total is significantly higher than this.

PRIORITIES FOR 2024

The future of the Club depends on the continued support and dedication of its members, many of whom volunteer week in and week out without fail. Volunteering at the Club has always been very much appreciated and continues to be one of our principal assets contributing to our community spirit and ensuring the Club continues to operate.

In order for the Club to continue to grow, we must diversify further and embrace other groups who can use our facilities and complement our current activities. To achieve this, we must also think about broadening our Trustee base outside of our traditional membership base, and bring in external expertise in other fields who can assist in our path forward.

In 2024, the Club needs to determine whether its previous ambition of a comprehensive development plan to replace the sail sheds and changing rooms is still feasible in today’s post-Covid climate, or whether a more simple, staged plan, replacing what we have on a like-for-like basis is more achievable.

To this end we will be consulting with the membership on the future ambitions of the site now more is known about the feasibility of fund raising, and rising construction costs.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES AND AFFAIRS

The operating surplus of £11,098 is approximately half that in 2022. Gross Income decreased slightly; the main change is due to increased costs.

The general club activities have increased. However, membership income was down by 7% on the previous year the hire of the clubhouse and carpark decreased slightly. Training income remained flat year-on-year.

Direct Costs of Training increased due to the mix of courses, repair costs, cost of boat rental etc. A reduced margin from Catering and the Bar had the largest effect in reducing our surplus.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The main risks broadly fall into three categories: Reputational, Financial and Physical risks.

Reputational risks: These relate to the good governance of the club and of its activities. During the year regular Trustee meetings seek to mitigate these risks. Also, the employment of professional trainers and service providers aids the mitigation of these risks.

Financial Risks: Primarily these are around the good and safe management of club funds. A professional bookkeeping service was employed in 2023 which, together with the use of the cloud accounting system, has improved internal controls in this area. We are vigilant of various frauds and attempts to extract bank account details which we monitor. The principal areas of income are Membership, Training, Berthing & Storage, and Catering & Bar income. We continue to have risk relating to the lack of diversity within the club and the age profile of the club which we continue to address.

Physical risks: There is a risk of flooding which has been minimised by the building of facilities at appropriate levels and we will continue with this approach in the future. We have also previously conducted a comprehensive asbestos survey and removed any immediate and significant threats of contamination.

GOING CONCERN

The Trustees take the view that the level of risk reserve and cash held is acceptable given the current economic climate in which the charity is operating. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As shown in our accounts, our cash position continues to demonstrate that we are able to fund our revenue expenditure and invest in modernisation of our facilities. We believe that there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the charity’s ability to continue and the accounts have therefore been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern.

INVESTMENTS POLICY

At this time our principal investments sit in a bank deposit account as this provides the most flexible approach. We have a deposit account for the development of the boat storage and changing facilities. In February 2024 the Trustees approved the opening of a CCLA deposit account which provides a better return than the existing deposit accounts.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THAMES SAILING CLUB (the 'charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023.

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the charity'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 2011 Act.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do 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.

THAMES SAILING CLUB

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.

Thames Sailing Club constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.

1.2 Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receive it.

Page 11

THAMES SAILING CLUB

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is not provided on the freehold property which is fully maintained and revalued on a regular basis by the Trustees.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities.

On the transfer of assets from the Thames Sailing Club by its members to the Charity, the Charity revalued the freehold property to its fair value which could be measured reliably. The revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is not charged on freehold land. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold property - not depreciated (see note above)
Plant and machinery - 10% p.a straight line
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 20% p.a straight line
Safety boats - 10% p.a straight line
Club boats and boards - 20% p.a straight line

1.5 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

1.6 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.

Page 12

THAMES SAILING CLUB

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.7 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.8 Cash at Bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.9 Creditors and Provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for and trade discounts due.

1.10 Government grants

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.

1.11 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

1.12 Taxation

The Thames Sailing Club is recognised as a charity by HMRC and benefits from exemption on income and gains to the extent they are applied for Charitable purposes.

1.13 Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
