ACHIEVEMENTSAND PERFORMANCE Charltable Actlvfties As a continuation of the process to fully transition Camvale Tennis Club's (the Clubl assets to a Community Incorporated Org8nisation the transferof the freehold land w8S completed by HM Land Registry in July 2025. The main off-court actlvity duringthe yearwas focussed upon a projectto replace the old halogen floodlights with low energy LED lighting. Following a scoping and tendering exercise with several contractors the Club embarked upon a fundraising campaign to raise c£20.000. Duringa 6-month period the Club achieved this target with: Grant Funding Sport Engnd Aviva Community Fund o Aviva Employee Giving Midsomer Norton and Radstock Lions Club o Paulton Parish Council Donations via "CrowdFunder° Sponsorship from local organisations Club Fundraising initiatives, includinga raffle. quiz nights and open days. The new floodlights were successfully installed in Octoberwrth the Chair of Bath & N E Somerset Council officially performingthe switch-on in November 2025. In addition, in March, an armyof Club volunteers gave the Clubhouse a refresh by repaintingand undertakingwood rep8irsto the exterior and a general clearout and clean of the interior. Membership of the Club rose to 75 indp4iduaLs: 58 adults. 2 students.13 juniors and 2 social members. DBspitÈ losing some mombers dueto ill health. movingawAyfrom thÈ area, etc. we did attract 17 new individuals plus 4 families. manytaking advantage of a special 50¥0 discounted one year membership package. The coaching arrangementwith the Bishop Sutton Tennis Club Coachingteam was fully operational duringthe year, resulting in a steady increase in participation in coaching programmes, particuiarlyon Friday momingsfor adults and Saturday morningsfor juniors. However, attendance at the Tuesday sessions did not meet expectations. The Club willcontinue to actively promote these coaching programmes and encourage greater engagement to attract more participants from the local community. Plans forthe coming year include outreach efforts to local schools.
Duringthe summertwo men s teams participated in the Avon Tennis league enabling 15 members to representthe Club in the 20 fixtures. In addition. an inter-clubfriendlywas arranged involving both female and male members. The annualclub championshipswere once again vrfell attended with the Finals Day bringing manytogether to enjoy a very social occasion. The Club continued to supportthe Paulton in the Pdrk communityevent in July by providing opportunities for all to play on several mini-courts and have the frea use of tennis rackets and balis. In Octoberthe Club held a CharityDayfor Mind bringingtogether membersforan enjoyable afternoon of social tenniswhiist enjoyingteas and cakes. This raised £100 for the Bath Mind charity. Finally. the Trustees would like to thank all the volunteers who have contributed to the ongoing management and their commitment regardingthe delivery ofthe Club's objectives. FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial Position C8mv8le Tennis Club's income fortheyear amounted to£26.464. This was an exceptionalyear because ofthe LED Floodlighting projectwhich raised £20,123, including Gift Aid. Accordingly. expenditureforthe yearwas atthe high level of £25.014 due to the installation of the new lighting. OveralL operational income exceeded expenditure by £1.450. As of 31 October 2025, total unrestricted funds amounted to £16,735 of which £14.364 W8s held with Cambridge & Counties Bank in a 95-day notice account. The remaining funds. £2,371 were held with Natwest in instsnt access accounts. Prlnclpal Fundlngsources CamvaleTennis Club's principal source of fvnding is the receipt ot membership fees. Reserves Policy Reserves are held to ensurethe long-term sustainability ofthe Club, especially regardingthe quality of the tennis courts and the floodlighting. The Trustees agree that thetotal reliance on grantfundingtrom extemal organisations to improve the facilities is not a prudent or sensible approach. Consequently, the Club has taken theviewthatthe main courts would probably need resurfacing in 2030. The new LEDfioodlights have a 10-yearwarranty but the need for
future maintenance and replacement parts necessitatesthe Club to have an adequate level of financial cover. Ideally. the Club should. in the future, be 8nnually allocating at least £3,600 into the reserves fund to cover these future costs. STRUCTURE.
