tea and biscuits, a raffle and bingo. Three of these afternoons were party afternoons (Valentines,
the club’s anniversary and summer parties).
8-10 members play snooker 2 afternoons per week.
During the winter months up to 16 members use the club premises on Wednesday and Friday
afternoons for short mat bowls and a number also play on Friday afternoon in the summer
months.
In the summer months a number of members use the nearby municipal bowling green for
outdoor bowls three afternoons per week. Members play casual games, internal tournaments as
well as fielding a team in a local league.
A large group of members visited a local restaurant for a very pleasant Christmas lunch.
When not in use for club activities the premises are available for hire to local groups. Some of
these groups have the same target audience as the club, thus supporting our aims, but in any
event the income helps defray the costs of maintaining our premises. 2 coffee mornings open to
the public also brought further income to help with costs.||| ## SPROWSTON SENIOR CITIZENS CLUB Main Account for the year 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024 |**INCOME**

It is my responsibility to:- - examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act), - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you concerning any such matters. The procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the following statement:- - 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act , and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act: have not been met: or - 2) to which, in my opinion, attentions should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
