## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT 

## 4. Governing Document 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 2nd November 1981 and was registered as a charity from that date.  The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The Articles of Association have been amended periodically by special resolution. The most recent amendment was agreed by Special Resolution on 8[th] February 2021 when it was agreed that the Society is permitted not to require an independent examination of its annual accounts when the income for the relevant year does not exceed £25,000 

## 5. Members’ Guarantee 

The members have each undertaken to contribute £1 to the assets of the company in the event of the same being wound up while he or she is a member or within twelve months of their ceasing to be a member. 

## 6. 

## Council and appointment thereto 

The Council consists of a President, Chairman, Vice Chairman, (the Officers) and up to 25 further persons who shall be members of the Society.  The Treasurer also attends all Council Meetings but is not a member of Council. 

Officers and Council are appointed annually and are eligible for re-election.  The name of any person seeking election as an Officer or a member of Council must be handed to the Secretary of the Society at least 7 days before the Annual General Meeting. 



**CRANLEIGH AND SOUTH EASTERN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY** 

## **CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES** 

The Council meets every quarter to receive reports on on-going business, current financial affairs and the activities of the various sub-committees.  In addition to making decisions on all matters having a significant effect on the Society, Council also approves the annual budget, the plans for the Annual Show and, prior to the AGM, the accounts for the previous financial year. 

New Council members are inducted by existing members and by the Secretary and receive copies of the organisation’s accounts as well as copies of the Essential Trustee issued by the Charity Commission. Members are entitled to attend courses, as part of the Society’s Trustees Training Programme.

## 9. Risk Management 

The Trustees of the Society, along with the various sub-committees, meet regularly to discuss risks as they arise and the process of risk management is continuous.  The largest risk historically has been the effect of bad weather on show day income.  The Council believe that current reserves are sufficient to mitigate potential losses due to poor weather on show day for at least the next 12 months. However, the Council is making every effort to re-establish the reserves over the next 2 or 3 years to ensure the future stability of the Society. The continued focus of the Executive Committee on marketing and fundraising is a key initiative, targeting increasing the Society’s reserves. 



**CRANLEIGH AND SOUTH EASTERN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY** 

## **CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES** 

## 10. Volunteers 

The Society relies heavily on volunteers to manage and run the activities undertaken, particularly during the weeks prior to the annual show.  Other than as set out below no payment is made to these volunteers other than to reimburse any direct expenses that are borne.  During the latter stages of the build-up to the show some external help is contracted in for which fees are paid. 

All Council members are unpaid although in accordance with the Special Resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting on 12[th] February 2014 there are now arrangements for paying Councillors for goods and/or services contracted for on third party terms. The Treasurer, who is not on the Council, is entitled to charge a limited fee from which he pays his own expenses although he waived this entitlement for 2023. Managing the Society’s day-to-day activities is normally a full-time occupation that is contracted out to the Secretary and for which fees are charged.  In addition, fees are paid to the Showground Manager who looks after the showground throughout the year, this entitlement for 2023 has also been waivered. 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT 

## 11. Objects 

The Society was established to promote, maintain, improve and advance agriculture, to promote good farming and the advancement of the breeding and rearing of livestock, poultry and horses and to foster and maintain the education of the public and its interest and awareness in agriculture generally. 

These objects will remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. 

Council members confirm that they have taken account of the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and planning future activities.  In particular, they consider how planned activity will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 

## 12. Aims 

The Society aims to provide advice for and promote awareness within the rural economy and to educate a wider audience about the ways of the countryside, the environment and animal welfare. 

(a) In the context of the Charities Act 2011, the Council considers that the Society’s charitable purposes fall under the following three headings:- 

- (i) The advancement of education. One of the major purposes of the Society is to promote and maintain the education and interest of the public in agricultural matters. In addition to the Annual Show that provides many examples where agricultural and rural craft best practices are demonstrated, the Society maintains a Demonstration Woodland on the Society’s showground at Cranleigh. This Woodland is used for guided walks by experts for schools and other bodies. 



**CRANLEIGH AND SOUTH EASTERN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY** 

## **CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES** 

In 2010 the Council inaugurated bursaries to assist agricultural students to meet the costs of attending college/university.  With the assistance of a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, a grant of up to £500 shall be made each year to help one student per year with the cost of attending college/university. We are delighted to have opened up applications for 2025. 

   - (ii) The advancement of animal welfare. The livestock competitions at the Annual Show encourage local farmers to maintain best practice in breeding and caring for their animals. New competitions are introduced from time to time to reflect changing agricultural trends. 

   - (iii) The advancement of heritage. Although farming has changed out of all recognition over the last century, it is important to remember how our ancestors lived and how developments over this period have brought unforeseen changes to the practices and landscapes of today. The Society encourages demonstrations of past and present farming practices such as its vintage tractor display and combine harvester and crop spraying equipment displays – both with informative commentary – at its Annual Show to help ensure that such knowledge is not lost to future generations. 

- (b) The Council promotes its activities broadly within a 60 mile radius of Cranleigh. However there is no geographical restriction other than for the purely practical limit of how far people are prepared to travel, particularly if transport of animals is involved. 

- (c) The Council plans its main event (the Annual Show) in such a way as to provide a wide cross section of events that the audience can enjoy and learn about agriculture, the rural economy, livestock and horses.  Recognising that the costs of such an event are significant, an entry fee is payable.  However, in order to minimise any potential barrier to entry for the less well off, concessions are given for children and senior citizens. 

Ordinarily, the Council advertises the Annual Show widely around Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Hampshire to ensure that as many people as possible are aware of the event. In addition, the Society’s website (www.cranleighshow.org.uk) has a significant number of visitors who use it to find out details of the Annual Show, review schedules and enter animal competitions on line. Visitors to the website also have the option to purchase tickets on-line, via a third party ‘box office’ provider.  We believe that the website is an essential marketing tool in the promotion of the Annual Show and the Society, as such it is regularly updated to provide accurate up-to-date information for browsers. In addition, the Society uses social media such as Twitter and Facebook to communicate with followers and promote the business of the Society. 

The Society also holds an Annual Ploughing Match where visitors can watch ploughing demonstrations and competitions for vintage and more modern tractors. 

- (d) Although not essential to enjoy the benefits of the Annual Show or Ploughing Match, membership of the Society is also available to anyone.  The subscription covers entry to the Show as well as admission to the members’ tent.  Members organise a series of visits during the summer to learn about agricultural practices in other environments.

## **CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES** 

## 13. Future Plans 

The Council has no plans to make any major changes in the way that the Society is run or in its main objects and aims. The Council does however consider that all activities should be reviewed from time to time to ensure that its overall objectives continue to be met as times change. 

Saw saw the first Cranleigh Farm & Food Festival, which we are delighted is returning for a second year, with preparations well underway. The Council will continue to run its Annual Show as a one day event. The Council annually review dates of other local events and agriculutral shows to ensure there are minimal clashes. The show date is largely dicated by the date of the Kent County Agriculutral Show. The possibility of extending the show to two days has been considered but is not thought to be economically viable.  This decision is however under constant review. 

Prices for show entry, hire of trade stand pitches and the hire of the showground are reviewed on an annual basis bearing in mind the key objective of maintaining a balance between raising the charges against encouraging maximum participation, particularly for families with children. For 2025, prices will be reviewed as the show nears – pricing will depend on anticipated demand at the time. The Council will continue to seek new ways of advertising the Annual Show with the aim of encouraging more members and visitors, particularly families . 

In particular the Council would like to see a greater participation from Cranleigh residents and new ways of promoting the Show locally are under active discussion. 

The Council is very aware that the showground itself is a valuable asset. Income from showground letting for other events have been strong again this year and the majority of events have rebooked for 2025. 

## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 

14. Review of Performance in Year 

After a profit of £12,520 in the year ended October 31[st] 2023, the Council reports a deficit of £10,546 in the year to October 31[st] 2024. 

Whilst income increased significantly in the year, rising from £41,750 in 2023 to £109,726 in 2024, increased administrative costs and the re-introduction of the Show Day and its associated costs led to the deficit. Showground rental income of £51,044 included deferred income from the long-term lease agreed in 2023. 

As previoulsy noted, administrative and management fees increased signifcantly, rising to £31,863 in 2024 from £12,611 in 2023. Showground costs also more than doubled, owing in part to increased costs for cleaning and utilities. 

15. Visitor Numbers and gate receipts. 

The total number of visitors at the 2024 Cranleigh Farm & Food Festival was around 6,500. 

Visitor numbers as stated above include members, sponsors, guests, traders and livestock competitors. 



**CRANLEIGH AND SOUTH EASTERN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY** 

## **CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES** 

## 16. Trade Stands 

Income from Trade Stands was £11,829 (2023: Nil). We made a collective decision that we wanted the trade stands and food concessions to fit the aims and ethos of the show so selected local artisan stalls were possible. 

## 17. 

## Membership 

The membership of the Society at 31st October 2024 was 105 (2023: 120). We learned during the year that several life members had passed away. 

## 18. Event Lettings 

The Council recognises that the showground is a valuable asset that should be used as often as possible. The ongoing improvements have helped to make the showground more attractive to prospective hirers and bookings have continued to grow and have reached £51,044 in 2024. 

## 19. Volunteer Numbers 

Volunteers at this year’s show, which includes our judges, stewards, and other helpers, amounted to some 100 individuals.  It is always difficult to find sufficient numbers to help in the build-up to the show and on the day, especially from younger members of the community. We are grateful for help provided by Cranleigh Lions and The Army Cadet Force. 

. 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

20. The results for the year are disclosed in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 11. 

The Council reports a deficit for the year of £10,546 (2023: surplus of £12,520). This has reduced carried forward reserves to £99,160. The Council that since the impact of the COVID19 pandemic, reserves has diminished significantly, largely due to the cancellation of shows. The Council believes that the current level of Reserves is sufficient to fund the activities of the year ahead. Over £30,500 was held in an interest-bearing deposit account at the year end. 

Total income for the year was £109,726 (2023: £41,750). Income from the Show Day amounted to £47,860, from rental of the Showground to £51,044, from Grants (DEFRA) of £4,042 and from Donations, Events, Sponsorship and Memberships £6,402. The Society also received £378 in bank deposit interest. Reserves were represented by Fixed Assets of £81,879 and other net assets of £17,281. 

During 2020, the Society took advantage of the UK Governments Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) and secured a loan of £28,500. These funds were used to support the Society whilst it was unable to host the annual Show Day. As of October 31[st] 2024, the outstanding principle on the loan was £10,153. 



**CRANLEIGH AND SOUTH EASTERN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY** 

## **CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES** 

## 21. Banking and Investment Policies 

The Society operates one bank account:- 

Lloyds Bank plc – Current Account 

This is the current account from which day-to-day expenditure items are paid and remittances banked. 

## 22. Free Reserves and Justification 

As previously observed the Society considers that it is prudent to hold reserves against the possibility of bad weather or any other event that might severely curtail income in any particular year.  This policy has been vindicated by the losses sustained in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 due partly to weather conditions (2012 and 2018) and a variety of other factors beyond the immediate control of Council, including the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, 2021 and 2023. The Council had to take some difficult decisions as to how to mitigate these losses and restore the reserves to previous levels. The Council has changed the timing of the Show in recent years in an attempt to avoid clashing with other local shows. However, given the large number of shows during the summer period, some clashes are unavoidable. 

## 23. Asset Management 

The major asset owned by the Society is the showground.  The showground consists of 70 acres located on the outskirts of Cranleigh, Surrey.  The site is shown in the Balance Sheet at a value of £80,000 which has been treated as its deemed cost.  The Council are of the opinion that the value of the property has increased substantially since the date of this valuation.  Fixed Assets and changes thereto are shown in note 10 to the financial statements. 

## **Chairmans report:** 

I would like to thank all Members of Council and our Secretaries for all their hard work that they have undertaken on behalf of the Society and the Show during the past year. I would also like to thank Josh Farrell for stepping into the role of Vice Chairman. 

## **The Show** 

We were delighted to open our showground gates for the first time in five years to host our first Cranleigh Farm & Food Festival. We had a great first show. The weather turned out perfect, dry and not too hot. Our aim is to give the public a wonderful rural day out where they can learn about farming, livestock and country life and we certainly achieved this. The animals were turned out beautifully and the quality was high. The livestock area was very popular and commentator Hugh Broom did a great job explaining the finer points of the different breeds of cattle and sheep. It was lovely to see such magnificent animals exhibited. The standard was high and we received some very positive feedback from competitors and visitors alike. We received lovely feedback from numerous attendees that the festival had a lovely traditional and rural feel to the day, which was what we wanted to achieve. 

Given that we had a five-year break between shows we were pleased with the number of Trade Stands and Artisan Food Vendors who attended but we are hoping for increased numbers at the 2025 festival. We had 6,500 visitors through the gate which was higher than we had an anticipated, now people are aware of the rebranding we are hoping to draw higher numbers this year. 



**CRANLEIGH AND SOUTH EASTERN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY** 

## **CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES** 

Our thanks go to Cranleigh Lions for co-coordinating the car parking so efficiently. Also to the Surrey Army Cadet Force and all volunteers that gave up their time to help on show day and in the days leading up to the big day. 

## **The Showground** 

The showground has once again been alive with a variety of events thanks to a very busy bookings season. This enabled full use of our wonderful show ground by large numbers of local people. We very much hope this income continues to help fund maintenance improvements to the showground. 

The annual ploughing match was held in September, kindly hosted by Peter Knight at Burgate Farm. We would like to thank Peter for his continued support.  The  Ploughing Match made a small profit this year and, the weather was on the ploughmen’s side. Those who attended commented that it was a lovely event enjoyed by all who attended. 

## **The Showground** 

The Showground and the woodland are in excellent shape, thanks to our Showground helpers and the volunteers who work so hard on the Society’s behalf. Once again, the Wood Fair held their annual event at the showground and made full use of our brilliant woodland. 

## **Looking forward** 

Preparations for Cranleigh Farm & Food Festival 2025 are well underway with attractions already booked and a variety of interesting and informative events planned.  There have been a number of small changes to classes in the agricultural schedules to match demand.  The Society continues to strive to keep costs under control whilst maintaining the highest of standards and improving the show’s educational aspects. 

Finally, I would like to thank all our members, loyal sponsors, volunteers and competitors for your enduring support as it is because of your help that this Society continues today.  Thank you very much.
