The club encourages team participation in open evenis and shoulder to shoulder shooting in competition with other clubs and participates in leagues for both individiial and team target shooting at both county and national levels. Club members have reached the highest level of the sport in being selected to shoot for Great Britain. The committee would also welcome communityuse of the club's facilities during the daytirne when not in use tor shooting activities which would also be for the public good as Pinhoe's community facilities are presently fully utilized and yet the village has grown and is growing further with neiv housin pandemic. Most of these objects and activities have had to be curtailed due to the Covid Summary of the main achievements ofthe charity during the year The building project to provide new ranges, armories and store room5 Started in earnest with the foundations being completed at the start of the year. The additional foundations to cope with the soft and wet ground cost an additional £46,000 above the contract price and the club was fortunate that these addiiional cosis were met by the cumulative Government Covid grants. August saw the galvanized steel frame of the building being erected with a huge crane onsite. By The begiiining of October the concrete tloor had been laid and polished with work started on the building of all the block walls around the building and the roofwas put on. The Chairman worked hard to obtain a grant froTn Viridor Waste Management Communities Fund for £50,0110 to help pail t'or the electrical, ventilation, steel target walls. baffles, firing polnt ceil ings, block worK and armories inside the building. A group of up to 24 member5 took on the internal fit out ofthe building in the Autumn, chrough the winter, springand up to completion in July 2021. The new ran.ges were certified by the NSRA l-ange inspector in May and the IOM air range started to be used. With the rantastic new building all but finished and the opening ceremony planned it was discovered that the club's sewerage system had reached the end of its life as it was conti nually filling up with rain waier and the sewerage pipes were all blocked after being invaded by tree roots. The Charity had enough funds to get a new system installed and commissioned by the year end. Shooting was able to start again in late luly 2021 buf events were reduced and then shooting had to be terminated again with the winter lockdown due to C.ovid. The winter season was therefore disrupted and cut shorr. A significant numl)er of members were loath to return to shooting and mixing with fellow members and quite a number ofmembers have never been seen again since Covid hit the country. The Constitution was reviewed and updated as required to revise the requirement for an audit to an independent I'eview of the receipts and payments accounts and to correct the records as far as the trustees and custodian rrustees were concerned. Financial Revlew The Lease of the Fonthill range undei-neath the swimining pool at the Exeter Pyramids was terminated at 31 March 2021 as it was not being used due to the Covid pandemic. The University of Exeter Rifle Club terminated its arrangement with the club for the use of shooting facilities as they felt thar tronthill was not safe to use during the pandemic and the Pinhoe ranges were too far out of Page 2 of3

The club re-opened tnrough the hard work of the committee as soon as it was able through the use of alternate firing points, social distancing and cleansing procedu res. Covid hit U5 in terms of reduced incorne from memDers, donations and shooting. There were further lockdowns in 2020/21 which closed the club 10 shooting. We were fortunate to be eligible for Covld grants for our two different sites to compensatp. The charity tias onlv one general fund. The Charity has accumulated funds over the years in order to improve the shooting facilities for members and these have now been spent to build 2 new 25 yard and one new 10 metre ind.oor range. The charity has no desire to accumulate funds unnecessarily. Reserves at 31 Iuiy 2021 were £138,142. The Treasurer would l ikr to apologise for the late publication of the Charity's accounts for the year on the charity Lomniission website. The accounts were completed in a timely fashion and the AGM was held on time and the accounts presented and approved by the members at that meeting. The accounting spreadsi]eet then suffered a severe corruption as did the backup copy and the accounts had to be prepared all over again taking until the following year's accounts needed to be prepared.
