COMMITTEE OF MANAGENqENT OF MASTER PARK. OXTED, SURREY TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st.MARCH 2022 Th¢ TnS present their rert and accounts for the year enda 31st March 2022. Constitutio Objects and Polieies Master Park was constituted under a Deed ded 16th March 1923 and its object was to lay out and reserve a parcel of land now known Master Park for the healthy recreation and atnusemenl of the iDhabitants of the parksh of Oxt¢ A further parcel of land was conveyed into the Tn on 1st July 1946 and th¢ original TntS have been varicd by two schanes of the Charity Commissioners dated 20th AugiLsÉ 1982 and 6th November 2001 to update the administration of The Cotnmittee of Management. Oxted Lawn Tennis Club. Oxted & District Footboll Club and Oxted & Limpsfield Cricket Club may each appoint one representative to the Committee. Four committee members should be elected annually at the AGM and two more c(Fopt¢d by the Committee. In the event that four members are not elected at the AGM the Committee may c04)pt a further two members to th¢ Committee. The trustees have had regard to the Clwity Commi&sion guidance on public benefit ADDual Review and Future Developments C¥round Our main revenue streams are from the stx)rts clubs. events on the paTK donor& Friends of the Park and the invaluabke help from Tandridge District Council and th¢ Oxted Parish Council. The Committee is very grateful for th¢ number of donations received in the year from members of the public. We are currently creating many events so &s to encourage more of the local community to become "Friends of the Park". Tandridge District Council kindly continued to cut the grassy ar¢as which saves the Committee much money. In additio a contractor cuts the edgcs and in between trees. The fmances have been frugally sTrt as we lost 2 years of Beer Festival revenue well as very few events being held due to covid restrictions. The park continues to be indebted to th¢ Rotary Club of Titsey donafrd £1,200 to the park following their very su¢cessful cat Lmjot sales on the parL The Conllnittee thanks Oxted Parish Council for at)nual fimding of £4000 towards the cost of r¢fus¢ collection by a third paty and towards the cost of hedge and gr&ss cutting. However, the Con]mittee struggles to Trise enough fun(Ls each year to caThy out the many projects it wishes to do and for this reason the Cotmnittee sought Planning Pern)i&sion build a new Pavilioll (to replace the old Pavilion which is now unfit for purw). PlaEming pern]Ion w&s granted 2 October 2019. This will be a multi-use facility, generating much needed funds to help maintain the Park, the Pavilion as well &s meeting the high requirements now needed for the Football & Cricket Clubs as stated by their governing Ix)dies.
