## **SUTTON COLDFIELD RECREATIONAL TRUST** Constituent Clubs: _- Sutton Coldfield Rugby Football Club – Sutton Coldfield Mini & Junior Rugby Football Club - Sutton Coldfield Bridge Club Ltd – Walmley Tennis Club_ Registered as a Charitable Trust no: 503628 ## **Chairman’s Report for period July 2020 to June 2021** The Trust continues to function as the umbrella body that manages and maintains the facilities at the Roger Smoldon Sports Ground on behalf of the four constituent clubs, Sutton Coldfield Senior Rugby Club, the Junior Rugby Club, Walmley Tennis Club and Sutton Coldfield Bridge Club. The Trust has also provided its support to Associated Members, namely Sutton Coldfield Archery Club, CrossFit Gym, the Kuk Sool Won Karate Club, and the local branch of the Air Training Corp. The Clubhouse provides meeting places for local resident’s groups, a community choir, and a base for Acti-Fit, which supports wellbeing at local schools. Schools with limited outdoor facilities are encouraged to take advantage of the Trust’s outdoor areas. Government Covid grants detailed in the financial statement allowed the Trust to maintain site facilities and enabled planned maintenance to the electricity distribution boards to go ahead to ensure that they met regulatory standards. It was also possible to replace two aging central heating boilers. It was encouraging that the constituent clubs were able to continue to provide the agreed budgeted contributions to the Trust’s operating costs thanks to the support of members. The hospitality facilities saw little activity for long periods and hence provided little financial support to the Trust. Refurbishment plans to public areas under consideration during 2020 and 2021 had to be set aside because of funding changes and uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. The budget set aside by the Rugby Club and held by the Trust remains and is shown as the Projects Account in the financial statement. Fiscal grants from Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust and the local Town Council enabled the Trust to support refurbishment to floodlights (£50K) and the installation of a primary drainage system (£20k) to improve training facilities for both senior rugby club and mini/junior rugby sections. The Trust continues to rely heavily on volunteers in all key areas of administration and the more labour-intensive activities of maintaining the 23 acres site. The Trust’s strategy for continued improvement to amenities will continue with reference to community groups and schools who may only have limited access to outdoor facilities. ## **SUTTON COLDFIELD RECREATIONAL TRUST** Constituent Clubs: _- Sutton Coldfield Rugby Football Club – Sutton Coldfield Mini & Junior Rugby Football Club - Sutton Coldfield Bridge Club Ltd – Walmley Tennis Club_ Registered as a Charitable Trust no: 503628 Tom Jones Chairman Sutton Coldfield Recreational Trust Sutton Coldfield Recreational Trust Financial Statements for the year ended 30th June 2021 **----- Start of picture text -----**
