Puriton Playing Field Committee
Reg. Charity No. 296549
ANNUAL REPORT
The Charity has continued to thrive, despite losing at least one hirer due to traffic disruption in the area.
However, our outlay is considerable, mainly due to utility costs and the upkeep of the building and open spaces. Drainage issues continue to plague us. We also urgently need to recruit more committee members to help run the Charity.
Puriton Bowling Club continues to grow, with more new, active members. Victoria Park Rangers junior football club held another very successful tournament. The Sports Centre continues to be a hub for local archery clubs. Unfortunately, the café is no longer operating.

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Association and a comparison of the accounts presented Nvith those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations concerning any such matters. The Procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is Ven as to whether the accounts present a 'tse and fair" view and the rep)rt is limil¢d to ihose mall¢ts srf out in Ihe slatem¢nt tlow.
