Hickling Broad Sailing Club CIO RCN 1187111 Staithe Road Hickling Norwich Norfolk NR12 0YJ UK

ANNUAL RETURN TO CHARITY COMMISSION of ANNUAL ACCOUNTS and REPORT for year ending 30 September 2023

The objects of the CIO are:

1. to promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for sailing on Hickling Broad and adjoining waters, as well as facilitating canoeing, kayaking, rowing, wind-surfing and paddle-boarding; and

2. to advance education and training for the public benefit in the subject of sailing and the use of power boats as safety boats.

Throughout the sailing season, the Club has continued to provide opportunities for participation in its activities through regular racing programmes on Sundays and Wednesdays; open meetings; cruising days; the provision of temporary and visitor membership; and provision of its facilities and safety boats to other sailing organisations and to member schools. As an RYA Recognised Training Centre it continues to offer certificated training courses in sailing and power boat handling to non-members as well as to its members. Other training sessions are aimed specifically at juniors and at encouraging women into the sport.

The successful functioning of the Club is dependent on the commitment of time, energy and skills from its members. It is members who volunteer who have the day-to-day running of the Club through the management committee; who comprise the board of trustees; staff all the many various training courses; offer their services to maintain the premises and facilities; and provide catering for Club events. Membership, subscriptions and berthing accounted for 64% of the Club’s total receipts of £57,564; and income from Club boat hire and training accounted for another 12% (£7,191). As the accounts show, the largest outlay - £15,081, 32% 0f the total payments of £47,705 - is on property related costs: rent, rates, water, electricity, property maintenance, telephone. Safety, training and boat maintenance accounted for 28% of the total payments at £13,251.

The trustees are keen to improve access to the Club’s facilities and activities - particularly for people with limited mobility and for wheelchair users - and to create flexibility in the use of its changing rooms and toilets. To this end the trustees were delighted when a Club member who is a professional architect offered to steer us through the process of drawing up a design brief and commissioning an architect. A New Build team was formed and in due course interviewed 3 architectural practices with a view to producing a Feasibility Study for the work on the clubhouse and changing rooms. Subsequently HAT Projects was appointed. They submitted their Feasibility Study which was brought to the Club’s AGM in November 2023.

Clearly the ambition to serve the public benefit even better depends on raising the necessary finance. The Club faces this challenge hopefully and is already exploring possibilities.
