Annual Report: 

Up until Feb 22 

We had another successful year with the public using the car park and playground equipment. 

## From Feb 22-Nov 22 

Registered Address: C/O Glapthorn Village Hall, Main Street, Glapthorn, Peterborough, PE8 5BE Email: GlapthornPlayingField@gmail.com. Registered Charity No. 1189712 



We were also able to do the official opening, a big thankyou to the committee for running the stands and making the day such a success. 

As we all know the playing field and the playground were affected by the extremely hot and dry summer. During the hot weather cracks opened up in the field, making it unusable, which was a shame. 

With the reinvestment of money for the sand slits, which was raised thanks to Malcolm Moss’ fundraising endeavours and a donation from Nathan Bland’s company, we were able to refill the sand slits. Hopefully this will now bed in and solve the problem long term. 

With the arrival of some wetter weather I am pleased to say the playground equipment has now resecured itself.  The weather in the summer was extreme to say the least and we hope that this will not repeat itself in the future. 

A big thankyou to all members of the committee and members of the public for supporting this worthy project. I would also like to say a big thankyou to Glapthorn School for their partnership in allowing us to use their facilities for our events, long may this working relationship continue. 

Look forward to the playing field becoming fully operational in the coming year. 

## 4. Financial Statement (GB) 

The financial statement for up to Sep 2022 was read out to the floor by GB. Started year of £1304.42.  Income generated during year was £3657 and expenditure of £2162.69.  Final balance 2798.73. 

The donation from council was due to the council purchasing something for the playfield and the GFPA paying the council back.
