Aims
The aims of the club remain to provide sporting and social opportunity in the village of Caddington. This is done through the provision of sporting facilities and a clubhouse. Income is mainly generated through club bar sales and membership fees. Affiliated sports clubs are assisted through the free provision of facilities and some financial assistance with running costs.
Income
The Charity was again successful in obtaining grants most noteably to to replace the high level ball stop fence that had become dangerous as it was in a state of disrepair (funded by £64k of section 106 monies from Central Bedfordshshire). The trading arm transferred the surplus it estimated it might make to the Charity before the year end plus recompense for the employment of the groundsman (£34.5k).
Expenditure
The grant monies were expended in the same year on the project detailed above. Some money on the feasibility of obtaining new land for pitches was also spent.
