Governing Document:
Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with voting members other than its charity trustees dated 11th March 2020
Charity’s objects are:
To promote community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of, principally but not exclusively, the residents of North Northumberland and the Scottish Borders by the provision of facilities to participate in the sport of bowling and such other sports capable of promoting physical health and fitness as the trustees shall from time to time determine. (For the purposes of this clause "facilities" means land, buildings, equipment, and organising sporting activities).
Nothing in the constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CIO for the purposes which are not charitable in accordance with section 7 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005.
Management
The Charity is managed by the Trustees. At the AGM each year the members elect a President, Secretary and Treasurer. Trustees may be nominated for election by any member and are elected or otherwise at the AGM.
Trustee’s responsibilities
The trustees have regard for the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. They are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the Charity Commission requirements. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity, of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that report accurately the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the finances are adequately and securely managed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Accounts are prepared on a monthly basis and submitted to
trustees for inspection. One trustee with accounting knowledge is the nominated Treasurer with special responsibility for overseeing the accounting processes and procedures.
Achievements and Performance
Due to Covid 19 the banks from March 2020 were not accepting application for new Treasurers Accounts. The charity has recently managed to open a bank account and tested this for 2 authorisations needed for cash payments. A donation has been received from the Wooler Bowling Club of £20,025. As this was so close to the year end for both entities and activities have been severely restricted by Covid it was decided that full transfer of responsibilities will commence from 1st October 2021.

Financial Review
The bank balance as at 30th September 2021 stands at £20,025.
Reserve Policy and Financial Position
This financial appears healthy but it must be seen in the context of an urgent need for a substantial upgrade for the clubhouse toilets, kitchen and changing room. This cannot be achieved without external funding and this is now being sought.
Plans for the future
It is the intention to upgrade the clubhouse, the fabric of the oldest part of which is deteriorating rapidly. In particular larger changing rooms, better toilet facilities including a disabled toilet, better ventilation and a larger kitchen are required. The occurrence of Covid 19 emphasises the need for these improvements. Grant applications are more likely to succeed now that the Clubhouse and Green stewardship has been transferred to the charity by the erstwhile individual trustees. The upgrade will make the clubhouse more suitable for use by other community organisations, some indoor bowling and other indoor sports. It is anticipated that the charity will have some funds to contribute to the cost of clubhouse renewal but grant funding will be needed to meet the total cost.
Equipment has been acquired for Carpet Bowling and Table Tennis and the club will now be open throughout the winter for these activities. Two air purifiers have been acquired for use in the main hall.
The clubhouse is available for use by other community groups.
Employees and Volunteers
My thanks also go to the Trustees; for their support, advice and voluntary work over the past season. We also thanks the many member volunteers for their significant contribution to maintaining both the bowling green and surroundings, the clubhouse and kitchen, this saves considerable expenditure. Lastly, thanks to the match secretaries for organising and managing league, friendly and internal competitions.
The Trustees declare they have approved the trustees’ report above,
signed on behalf of the Trustees.
