ROYAL ISLE OF WIGHT AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY 

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

## Objectives and aims 

The objectives of the Charity, as set out in the Trust Deed, are within the Isle of Wight to encourage agriculture generally and the preservation of the physical and natural environment and, in particular and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, by promoting understanding, knowledge and awareness amongst the general public of the physical and natural environment by all or any of the following means - publications, funding, meetings, organising displays, promotional events and the County Show. 

Another objective is to assist people in furthering their education and skills development in their trades, vocations and professions linked to agriculture and the physical and natural environment via recognised training and educational establishments or individuals by bursaries, grants, and support. 

## Objectives for the year 

The primary objective for the year has been to continue to develop the Society's support for the rural sector, holding an annual show, provide financial support for individuals undertaking education and personal development activities, and supporting the local food sector. The Royal Isle of Wight County Show returned after a two-year break. 

## Strategy to achieve these objectives 

The Executive Committee has retained the organisation of the County Show in-house, via its County Show sub-committee and secretariat contract. The Rural Careers Fund entered its ninth year offering both Scholarships and Bursaries. Wight Marque continued its support for the Island's food and drink sector. 

## Public benefit 

All the activities of the Charity focus on delivering community benefit and are in accordance with the objects of the Charity. 

The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant. 

## Grantmaking 

The Charity has ensured that the criteria that it uses to apply funding has been in accordance with the Constitution. The applicant must be engaged or linked to an agricultural or environmental activity and be receiving recognised training, education, or personal development. The Rural Careers Fund sub-committee has awarded scholarships or bursaries only for the duration of one year following which a further application may be made. 

## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 

## Principle activities for the year 

After an enforced two year break due to the Pandemic, both the Royal Isle of Wight County Show and the annual Education Day returned with great success. Scholarships and bursaries continued to be awarded from the Rural Careers Fund. 

In addition to its Executive Committee the Society now has four sub committees: 

- County Show 

- Rural Careers Fund 

- Wight Marquee 

- Strategy

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

## Review of performance for the year 

After a two-year Covid-19 enforced break, the Royal Isle of Wight County Show returned on 25th and 26th June 2022. 

In the lead up to the show there was an air of cautious optimism as no one really knew how people would respond. It was to be one of the first community events to take place on the Island after the lifting of the Covid-19 restrictions. However, it was soon apparent the show had been missed. 

Running for its 121st year, the royal status of the show was in full force with the central theme being Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee. The Village Green hosted a giant Jubilee picnic in celebration. It was an honour and very important that we celebrated our royal connection, and that both young and older generations could come together in the fun filled activities. 


Support for local businesses is an important aspect throughout the show, with the Society's Wight Marque products 


on sale in the Food Pavilion, which are either made, grown, or manufactured on the Island. We also showed off the Island's variety of attractions and activities in our new for 2022 Visit IW tourism marquee, and even born and bred islanders were informed of some of our local hidden gems. Our more artistic residents displayed their skills and fantastic creations in the Island Arts and Makers Market marquees, which was hard to miss for the bright colours and vibrant displays. 

There was never a dull moment during the show, with all the senses being engaged. Seeing the animals, through the falconry displays, equine events, 

and Main Ring activities. Hearing the bands, fairground, and orchestra of animal noises. Smelling fresh air, food, and tractor engines. Touching the sheep, pigs, calves, goats, and alpacas. And tasting the variety of local produce and food stalls. 

After having to cancel the show for 2 years, it was great to have our loyal stands, traders and events come back, and also to have many new faces join us. People were enthusiastic and happy to be back, and the show gave people confidence to host events again. 

Family is often an important aspect to rural life, which we like to reflect at the County Show. Under 16s go free, to make it more family inclusive, and in our show guide we also had activities for children to get them interacting with the show and to help keep them entertained. Our Show Theatre also hosted a debate which gave primary school children the opportunity to talk about things that they are 

passionate about in a different environment to the classroom. Our local 'Young Farmers Club' stand was great for getting young people involved, with digger driving and wellie wanging, and to show that you don't have to come from a farming background to be interested in rural life. 

The Royal Isle of Wight County Show represents the Isle of Wight and aims to celebrate our beautifully rural island. The Grade Parade is a proud moment, when the trophy and rosette winners gather in the Main Ring, and you really get to see the best of the island's farming community. The show is an important celebration of our rural community and brings people together in different ways.

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Review of performance for the year (continued) 


Alongside the important role the County Show plays to support the rural economy, surpluses from the show are used to fund the Rural Careers Fund, to help young people to develop their careers and role on the Island. In line with the County Show, the Society's Education Day returned in 2022 after a 2-year break. Over 400 primary school children from 12 schools attended and were delighted to be joined by the Earl and Countess of Wessex and our President the Island's Lord Lieutenant. 

The Royal party joined the children as they visited the various areas and took part in a range of activities, all of which represented aspects of the County Show. A highlight of the visit was their participation in the Food Pavilion's pizza topping competition, where the children had to design and create a pizza, which was then baked for them to take home. 

The Education Day is a special event in the calendar where the children can actively get involved with all the areas of the County Show in a fun and informative way. The levels of excitement, interest and sheer enjoyment are compelling and great thanks go to all the Area Leads who once again gave up so much of their time to allow the Education Day to take place.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

## Financial review 

The income for the County Show Limited was up on the previous year at £132,697 (2021 - £14,807) thanks to being able to hold the main event after a 2 year break. Expenditure in total was also up this year at £97,200 (2021 - £13,486). The result of this led to a profit for the year of £35,497 (2021 - £1,321). All profits of the subsidiary are donated to the parent charity. 

The Charity's income for the year was £80,005 (2021 - £49,080) and expenditure was £39,762 (2021 - £50,282). The Charity reported a total surplus for the year of £40,243 (2021 - deficit of £1,202). 

The overall consolidated surplus for the year was £42,359 (2021 - £119). 

## Reserves policy 

As part of the Executive Committee's financial best practice approach, a Reserve Policy was introduced in 2018. The policy is to retain cash reserves equivalent to half the cost of the next County Show and to cover the notice period (3 months) of the office contract. The Society currently adheres to its Reserve Policy. 

## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT 

## Governing document 

The Charity was founded in 1894 and is governed by its trust deed dated 11 January 2006. 

## Recruitment and appointment of new trustees 

The officers of the Charity are elected each year by the members at the Annual General Meeting. The Executive Management Committee is elected for a period of three years. 

One third of the Executive Management Committee will retire each year by rotation and the positions filled by election at the Annual General Meeting. 

## Organisational structure 

The Charity has a wholly owned non-charitable subsidiary (Isle of Wight County Show Limited) which undertakes the management and trade of the annual County Show. 

The performance of this is included in the results for the year. 

It is the performance of the County Show which financially underpins the ability of the Charity to carry out its objectives. 

## Risk management 

The Executive Committee manages risk and Risk Assessments have been carried out where appropriate with regard to the activities in which it is engaged. 

Specific attention has been given to the activities involved in the staging of the County Show and an Event Safety Plan is in place and is supported by specific Risk Assessments.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ROYAL ISLE OF WIGHT AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY 

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Royal Isle of Wight Agricultural Society 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Royal Isle of Wight Agricultural Society (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 2022. 

## Responsibilities and basis of report 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## Independent examiner's statement 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 

## 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

## Basis of preparing the financial statements 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. 

## Income 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## Expenditure 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## Allocation and apportionment of costs 

Support costs are costs related to providing direct support to the charity. Governance costs are independent examiners fees and trustee meeting and insurance. Any such costs incurred during the year that are not directly attributable to the charitable activities of the organisation are allocated on the proportion of total direct costs required to support each activity. 

## Tangible fixed assets 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Show Ground - nil Buildings - various Show equipment - 10% or 25% on cost Office equipment - 10% on cost 

## Taxation 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
