## NEW ALRESFORD TOWN TRUST
## **Annual Report of the Trustees**
The Trustees present their Annual Report together with the Financial Statements for the year to 31[st] December 2021.
## **TRUST DEED**
The current Deed is dated 11[th] October 1989 and is the Trusts Governing Document. This has been amended by Order of Charity Commission dated 12[th] February 2004, by a Trustees’ resolution on 8[th] October 2012, and by Memorandum of Amendments dated 15[th] July 2015.
## **STRUCTURE OF THE TRUST**
## 1) **Background**
The Trust was incorporated on 28[th] March 1890 as the successor Organisation to the Bailiff and Burgesses. The Charity Commissioners have regulated the Trust throughout its existence, and agreed that 9 Trustees should run the Trust with 5 being nominees of the Parish (now Town) Council and 4 by co-options. The relationship during the 120+ years between the Trust and the Council had been difficult with many conflicts of interest.
## 2) **Current Position**
Consequently on 15th July 2015 the Trust with the agreement of the Town Council and approval of Charity Commission has amended the Governing Document in several Key areas :-
- a. Introducing a scheme of membership whereby residents mainly in the SO24 area can join the Trust for a ‘one off’ payment of £5.00 and 130 Members have so far signed up.
- b. Allowing the members to elect up to 5 Trustees every 4 years commencing at AGM on 23rd February 2017.
Details of all the three Memorandum of Amendments are set out on the Trust’s website, together with the covering letter from the Charity Commission.
## **OBJECTS OF THE TRUST**
The preservation of land, trees, Buildings and documents in New Alresford and such other charitable purposes for the general benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of New Alresford. The other charitable purposes currently are the restoration of the Eel House, the Arthur Stowell History Fund, the Alresford Museum, Emergency Funding for deserving cases and the Community Minibus.

## **RESERVE FUNDS AND FUTURE PROJECTS**
The Trustees have reviewed their principal activities and considered the monies needed to carry out major projects to meet their objectives.
## **The Avenue**
The land was conveyed to the Bailiffs and Burgesses in 1869 and then to the Trust on its corporation in 1890. The Avenue represents the Key feature to the western entrance of the Town and contains some 114 Trees, which are subject to Preservation Orders. Although the individual trees have long lives they still need care and attention until they die.
The Trustees had set up a Sinking Fund for tree work needed to keep the continuance of The Avenue. The Sinking Fund has been increased by £7273 with a balance at 31[st] December 2021 of £29020.
Following the detailed review of each Avenue tree in 2021, major tree work was highlighted and the Trustees spent the sum of £10.9K during the year. The Trustees have spent £19.1k in total on The Avenue this year.
## **Museum**
The Trust took over the defunct “Alresford and District Museum Trust” on 17[th] November 2011 with the object of continuing to acquire local artefacts and documents and the eventual objective of finding suitable premises to exhibit and display the material in the Town Centre.
Since November 2011 the Trust has spent nearly £7,000 in acquiring artefacts and documents as well as finding 400 items of archaeological interest in fields adjacent to Alresford. We will keep expanding the number of artefacts and documents.
The Trustees and its tenant, Artworthy Framing, agreed a new 12 year Lease in respect of the Old Fire Station from 1[st] January 2020, whereby the Trustees would occupy 2 rooms behind the Red Doors, and the tenant would use the remaining half of the building.
During 2019 the Trustees have used its room as a Museum for the old horse drawn Fire engine and artefacts. The cost of converting this room to a Museum Room was £13,764. It was first opened to the public on 15[th] September 2018.
The Trustees expanded the Museum area during 2020 into the second room. Further costs of converting this area amounted to nearly £23000.
## **Eel House**
The Eel House was built in the 1820s by the then owners of Arlebury Park House and continued in commercial use until the late 1970s regularly shipping live eels to London. It was then abandoned for over 30 years and the site and the building became very overgrown.
In 2006 two volunteers began to remove the ivy; a job they did not expect would be difficult or expensive. As they cut the first thick stems there was a loud crack; the South West corner
6
of the building had collapsed; all that was holding it up were the remaining stands of ivy. Years of neglect had allowed the river to scour out the ground beneath the building, assisted by the roots of a nearby Ash with the risk that it would crumble into the river.
With much goodwill all round, the owner granted the Town Trust a 99-year lease on the building at a peppercorn rent. This enabled us to search for charitable grants and tax efficient donations for reconstruction, and ensured the future of The Eel House.
Repairing the collapsed foundations and walls was the first priority followed the restoration of the external structure, rebuilding and repointing walls, replacing roof tiles, and installing new railings. This work was completed early in 2008 and the first open day was in April of that year.
The Eel traps have been restored and the essential work on the sluices ensures the Eel House continues to fulfil one of its primary functions; the flow of water in the river and its level upstream previously undertaken using timber and plastic sheet. This was completed in 2021 at a cost of some £25,000.

## **ACTIVITIES 2021**
## **FINANCE AND RESERVES**
The Trust has adopted a policy of medium financial risk with the majority of its current assets, reflected in the various funds, being invested on a short term basis or with COIF Charity Funds which currently give a better dividend return than cash invested. (see Note 5). The Trust has no debt.
The Sinking Fund stands at £29.0K and will be built up to £50K during the next 20 years.
The General Fund stands at £79.8K and is adequate to cover the future activities and any future Capital projects.
The Accounts reflect the unrealised gains shown by revaluations as at 31[st] December 2021 of £224.4K as set out in Note 7.
## **MINIBUSES**
The Trust has two Minibuses having acquired a new Minibus in April 2017 for £58,454 (see Note 2(c)). The old Minibus was restored in June 2017 and will continue to be run at least until December 2023.
The Minibus fares are based on donations which are at suggested rates well below commercial fares and consequently relies heavily on receipt of outside Grants (see Note 10), Gift Aid and Interest allocation.

Due to Covid the minibus operation only restarted in June 2021. The Trustees decided to reduce the net book value of the newer minibus to £36000. Depreciation in the year £6024.
The Minibus Fund stands at £112.5K of which £30K is deemed to be permanent Capital.
## **MARKET & FAIR TOLL**
Covid has curtailed the Thursday market resulting in total income of £6821. There were two Brocante markets in the year bringing in further income of £575 taking the total market income to £7396.
There was no Watercress Festival but the Michaelmas Fair was held in October bringing in a further £1300.

## **EEL HOUSE**
The Trust has been granted an initial Licence to catch Eels for Educational and Scientific reasons. We intend to test the number of eels by initiating sessions to trap eels in future years.
There were four Open Days during the year. An Eel House booklet is planned for Spring 2022; this will be launched on 18[th ] April 2022 (The first of six open days planned in 2022).
## **THE AVENUE**
NATC agreed in 2010 to cut the grass on The Avenue and be responsible for costs of Arboricultural surveys every 4 years. In early 2016 NATC withdrew their financial support on these matters.
As a consequence the Trust sought other finances which have been received as follows:

Canning; Roger Pearson: Barry Aked; Julia Maxwell-Tomlinson; Alicia Salter; Reginald Simmons; Robin Good.
## **MUSEUM**
We entered 2021 with some trepidation and uncertainty not knowing how many Open Days we would be permitted but we managed to achieve five and all our visitors were most appreciative of their visit.
The big red doors were given their final coat of paint in early spring and in the middle of the year we acquired more display cases one specially designed to house the Beadle’s Staff, the Constables Batons and the their modern reproductions. We now have a hanging sign advertising the Museum and the outside light at the front has also been replaced
During the year we have continued to acquire artefacts and photographs but our metal detecting activities, covering sites in Alresford, has been curtailed. We continue to look for sites to explore in and around Alresford that will add to our knowledge.
9
We are looking forward to an exciting year, hopefully less constrained by Covid restrictions, and we are looking for people who can assist us in this endeavour. We particularly need stewards to man the Museum so that we can open more frequently. If you can help please contact Roy Gentry on (01962) 773185 or roy.gentry@alresford.org.
## **EMERGENCY FUND FOR DESERVING CASES INCLUDING COVID,**
The Trust made one payment of £250 during the year leaving a closing balance of £4877.
## **HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS**
The Trust files all its important documents in the Hampshire Record Office and an up to date list was last produced in Spring 2011. The Trust has agreed with the Record Office not to file documents until at least a period of 5 years has elapsed.
## **WEBSITE (www.towntrust.org.uk)**

The income from these rights in 2008 totalled £11,673; there was some small costs involved in producing this income.
Although the income for 2021 was £8696 the Trustees have decided not to change the value in the 2021 accounts, as they believe that the lower income figure for 2021 is not permanent.
The Trustees value this heritage asset at £116,300.
- b) The Trustees also own other heritage assets, which currently do not produce income namely :-
- The ownership of The Avenue to Drove Lane
- 99 year Lease on the Eel House.
- Ancient documents,. Artefacts and Maces.
- Museum artefacts
The Trustees have valued these heritage assets at £1.
