Chair rsons Re Can I start off by £ayinE well don@ to another yp.ar of providing tho youne people of thi_£ aroa with a safe and enjoyable place to meet up wtth their friends, rnake new friends and maybe in the process learn a few life skills. Ihis year we have had four well-established football teams that are doing really well. Movlng forward from September 2025 thi5 has increased to seven team5. Well done to the football managers for thelr constant commitmÈnt to getting more young pÈople involvpd. Financially we are at the point where we need to increase our fundraising levels in order to function In a way that has always worked and that is to keep our subscriptions and event C051s as low as possible. So, with that in mind thls year we rtarted to look into what we consider a much fairer svstem which was to be implemented in our next financial year. The Increased fundraising is already being carried out by our Social Club section, whom I must praise, they have a very hardworklng committee that works tirelessly to fundralse to help us In our cause. Th• n•w implementation has been clrculated out to all thc parcntur wlth the vast malorltyi If not all our parents, accepting and agreeine with these changes positively. So. I would like to say thank you to all the parents for your support. We have gone through a lot of chan8e over the last 5 years. some mlnor. some major and I ITIU5t 544y that m051 chan8es are made In order io Involve and Improve. We have had to •volv• to comply wsth an •v•r-chan8in8 World. Our new Leader Martin Watson Is beRlnninR to bed Into his new role and I thlnk he is beginning to wonder what he has got himself into... .but we are all confident in his ability and enthusiasm and on a personal note I must say how proud l am with him stepping into thls role. Believe iii¥ M<irtln It Bets easler after ihe flrst few years. Jon has stepped out of the fryin8 pan and into the fire by taking on the rolc of treapJurer and I can't help but think how ironic it is that the Leader with the biggest budgets in the Club's history has suddenly asked for a short period of austerity. I'm Sure he will soften as time passes. Thank you, Jon. Thls AGM we will see the retirement of the le8endary Mr. Rlchard Watt5. 'DlckSe' to a lot of us, but 'Mr Watts, to a lot of older members. some of whorn now have grandchildren of their own. but Still refer to him as 'Mr Watts., That is the respect he had. he has epitomised everythin8 about the Club. his dedication and loyalty and wisdom has been second to nobody. He has been our moral compass and will be irreplaceable. We as a Club are so grateful for all his contributions over the last 60 years. I could go on all day praising thi5 man (but I'll never get to the barl On a personal note, over the last 40 years Elaine and I have formed a long and lasting friendship with Richard and his good wife Hazel, who has always backed him. Richard or Mr Chairman as I call him has helped me throu8h umpteen mana8ement Issues and has always been the voice of reason. l am going to miss you Mr Chairman. Dickie and i always said one day we would both s¥t down in the bar and have a 5tress-free beer. Well, your seat 15 there my frlend. and I will be joining you shortly. Thank you Mr. Richard Watts. Finally, and most importantly I would like to thank our amazing group of voluntary helpers for your enthusiasm and dedication. which 15 hntastic. You are and always will be the most
important group of people at this Club. Along with the Admin team you all make this place tick. Never uiiderestiFnate the woi"k you do to ensure the youns people have a place to call their own. Thanks foryour time and this concludes my report. Gary Watson Chairper50n

Thanks for your time and thls concludes my report. Marttn Watson Leader
TaSur5 Re Hellu everybody. Tliis yvdf is vuw fiisi fiwidWILidl yedf d5 d CIO dnd hd5 incorporated many ehanses and prosre55ion of the club. Firstly I would like to thank our Administration Team Elalne Watson & Nicola Miller as wlthout them the new systems that have been implemented wouldn't have been able to succeed. This year we have seen our fundraising figures reduced due to raffle ticket sales being at low for both our two main fundin8 events, due to this we have implemented a new system for the 25-26 financial period. Unfortunately. thls has meant that we have had to wlthdraw funds from our Inveqtmpnts again. We are constantly working and reviewinR how we can limit thls for future years. a5 if we continue to pro8ress in the manner that we have been (excluding projects that have been done to benefit the charity) we will have a limited number of years left with funds behlnd us. I do not want this to worry people because as I havp said wp. #rp wnrkin8 tirplessly to ensure we can maximise income and reduce expenditure wherever possible. This includes èpplylng for 8rants where posslble and hire out the facilities In the daytlme. Wc wlll always endeavour to ensure that the dub Is available for the young people illél attend, wh•th•r it be via the Youth dub evenings or our Football team5. This club has prospered for a long time and we will ensure rt's future to the best of our abIlles. Our Soclal club committee work hard to ensure there are numerous events through the year for you the members to enjoy while Still raising money to fund our club. I would like to thank them all for their efforts with all these events as tt provides vital fundin8 for the club. We have managed to secure three 8rants this year frorn: Garfield Western Foundaifon £5.1 Support Stsffordshire VCSE Grant Scheme £5.000 Community Foundation Grant £5,(Kl I would like to thank everyone for their continued sUPPOrt to our club. Thank you Jon Miller Treasurer

Report to th• Trustees of DBC aub for Young People CIO I have now carried out an Independent Audit of the accounts and report as follows.. I would recommend that you put in place a Flnance Pollcy and also a Reserves Policy. I sampled some Invoiceslreceipts and all a satisfattory. I note you are in the process of creating contracts of employment however these should be in place prior to the start of employment. My main area of concern is that you pay qutte a lot of individua15 outside of the payroll system. I note I did ask if they were self-employed and the response was that they were, but vou do not request evidence. I would recommend that you ask for evidence of self- employment ststus e.8. evidence from HMRC of their Unique Tax Reference number.
If they cannot provide this information, then they should be paid via the payroll Wem as this is contrary to IR35 and tsx avoidan. I note that they are asked to sien for the payment however. if they are self-employed, I would also add a line that they are signing to say that they are responsible for their payment oftax and Nl to HMRC. I have no further concerns and have come a¢ro45 no othcr rnottcru in connection with the pKamination to which attention should be drawn in the report in order to onabl• • prop•T understanding of the accounts to be reached. 518ned.. 14th November 2025 Name..
