The trustees and a wider committee all acting as volunteers oversee the day to day running of the track and facilities. The committee seeks the views of members and other volunteers for activities and improvements to the facilities and participates in the South West Regional BMX Series annually. There is a welfare officer in place who acts as part of the committee and we take guidance from British Cycling as a Club Mark accredited club for our standard child protection and welfare issues. For the purposes of running the club open sessions and maintaining the facility all trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits.
Objectives & Activities
| Summary of the objects of the charity set out in the governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects |
The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Devon by the provision of facilities toparticipate in BMX racingand cycling. |
|---|---|
| Our core activity is ensuring the upkeep of the facilities and organising volunteers for our 3 open sessions per week and liaising with local coaches to ensure training is made available to all participants. In addition to our core activities, we have also arranged – ● Gazebo transportation and set-up for all regional races at South West tracks and for those competing in national events. ● Local club race events during winter months to encourage novice riders to try racing ● Our own Regional Race Event open to experienced and novice riders ● Improvements to track and associated facilities. |
Additional details of objectives and activities
| (Optional Information) | We are extremely grateful for the many hours volunteers have spent supporting the club either through open sessions, transporting the gazebo’s, general maintenance and improvements at the track. Without this invaluable contribution of time, energy and expertise we would be unable to achieve so much. |

Achievements & Performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
This year has seen the main focus being the improvement of the general club facilities with a focus on the main cabin including a new Kitchen predominantly donated by Howden Kitchens and fitting of new flooring provided by Market Carpets along with support from Coastal Recycling in refuse removal. In addition to this the pump track for less experienced riders has also seen a full revamp and resurfacing. For the financial year to 31/10/24 overall turnover was £34,484 which is in line with previous year at £34,646. Despite turnover being inline the club has progressed in a number of areas with membership and open track sessions and track hire being c£4890 up year on year driven by the club seeing an increase in open session riders from 2201 to 2488 equating to 13% increase and membership up 17% giving a solid year on year base. This was offset in other income notably Regional race fees and jerseys being down £3500 due to members staying and not investing in shirts and previous year having inflated regional race income due to late payment. Overall profit at £1542.48 up on the net loss of £19,483 is expected following significant investment in hill during 22/23 period and demonstrates the continued investment in the club and facilities from monies earned along with the volunteer hours being a key to the clubs success. |
