Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The purpose of the CIO is to promote community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of facilities for participation in the sport of Rowing. The CIO has been able to provide facilities, such as boats and coaches, for members of the community to be involved in rowing, this has been offered in different forms, from free one to one sessions from the beach to a full novice course enabling someone to achieve a level of skill to enjoy the sport more. The CIO is now fully affiliated to British Rowing and takes much of the guidance available from them to ensure equality and fairness for all and a suitable level of transparency. |

Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The CIO has had a very strong year and we are proud of our accomplishments in 2021. 2021 was the first full year of activity for the CIO, which meant that we saw an expansion of members and demand for more regular sessions. In 2021 we had over 40 members who took part in regular sessions on the water, as well as 4 trustees. The age range is from 13-80, with a mixture of novices and experienced rowers. This mixture means we are able to pass on knowledge and coach novice members in our more stable boats before they progress to competitive rowing. To meet demand from members, we organised weekly sessions on Sundays (mornings) and one-to-two week days (mornings and evenings) for members, as well as continuing to run our Learn To Row sessions for about 10 individuals. This brought in both revenue and members to the CIO. We also provided one-to-one sessions when coaches were available. Although COVID-19 hampered some of our efforts to be out on the water, we were fortunate enough to be in a low-risk county which meant that our activities were not greatly impacted in the latter half of 2021. Once again, COVID-19 has hampered our ability to engage with local schools which are in varying degrees of restrictions. However, we have seen a small increase in the number of junior members this year, and have been able to run a small number of junior-only sessions. In the next 2 years we hope to have a fully functioning juniors training programme. |
During the winter months, the CIO provided indoor training sessions for members which provided a safe family-friendly environment for members to keep fitness levels up. The CIO has 14 boats, a container for equipment storage, a boat trailer, a small shed to house changing facilities and an admin area. Many boats have been donated by clubs across the country so the CIO purchased a suitable trailer. Of these boats 4 are stable single learner boats, these are best suited for anyone new to rowing to learn the basics before progressing into fine or crew boats. Since the last reporting period, we have removed 2 fine boats from our inventory, and gained two coastal boats which has allowed us to provide further training in coastal rowing and enter coastal regattas. The CIO has purchased further safety equipment such as life jackets that are suitable for boat Coxes and crews when onboard safety boats; safety posters and handbooks; boat trolleys to transport boats to the water and racks to store boats safely. These are regularly serviced to ensure the continued safety of members.
Safety training is provided to all members. This consists of safety training on and off the water, land training to understand technique, boat handling, rowing technique on the water and outings in learner singles finishing with crew outings in large fine boats. Rowing can be a very hazardous sport, Carrick rows from the Falmouth Harbour and this can be a very busy stretch of water and conditions can vary wildly. Everyone is trained to understand when it is safe to row, what conditions are and how to manage the risks. Conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, tide times and spring tides are the main factors that need to be taught. Other conditions such as the weather also need to be assessed; clothing, sun block, and temperature are contributing factors; cold water shock is a very real danger to those participating, everyone is trained to understand how this will affect them and what they are to do.
The CIO also organised 2 capsize safety training days for all members. This is a compulsory training session if members want to start rowing in a single boat without supervision.
The CIO has continued to enjoy a good connection with The Falmouth National Maritime Museum. They have generously given the CIO use of land and a slipway free of charge for the first year and we have begun the process of drawing up a formal agreement in September 2021. We understand that this may incur an annual rental fee, however this will provide stability to all parties. This year, the CIO fully affiliated with British Rowing and West of England Amateur Rowing Association (WEARA). This has allowed us to row competitively at a price which allows all members to take part. We competed regularly in WEARA regattas, regularly being placed in top positions. In 2022 we aim to win further medals and trophies, and we also aim to compete in the World Championships in Wales in 2022. Our fundraising has been very successful in 2021. We applied for and won a £2,000 grant from Love Rowing (although this will not be paid until 2022 so is not included in our financial reporting this year) and raised about £800 from events such as raffles and diners. We will continue with such fundraising in 2022.

Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The CIO started the financial year with a bank balance of £588.63 on 01/01/2021, and ended the financial year with a bank balance of £4195.85 on 30/12/2021. The majority of funds were raised through membership subscriptions, totalling £8480.50. Funds were also raised through small-scale fundraising events, totalling £698.75. A small amount of income was generated through refund from overpayment, totalling £120.00. The income during this period was £9299.25 and outgoings were £5692.03. This puts the CIO in a very healthy position. The majority of outgoings were spent on purchasing or replacing equipment for rowing, and consumables and equipment for maintenance of boats and rowing equipment. By investing in good-quality repairs, we can continue to use our existing equipment for longer. Other outgoings include insurance (£753.99), affiliation fees (£217.70), and repayments of loans and refunds (£730.00). |

| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The CIO has a reserve policy of £400.00 to safeguard against unexpected expenditure due to damage of equipment. This also covers 50% of the insurance renewal paid monthly throughout the year. This will be reviewed at the next AGM. |
