## **OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSOCIATION** 

The objectives of the Association, as set out in the Constitution are as follows;- 

To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the estates of Shenley Manor and Shenley  Court  and  the  neighbourhood,  without  distinction  of  sex,  sexual orientation,  race  of  political,  religious  or  other  opinions,  by  associating together the inhabitants the Local Authorities, voluntary organisations and the inhabitants in a common effort to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants.  To establish a Community Centre and maintain and manage it in collaboration with the Local Authority and others in furtherance of these objects. 

## **REVIEW OF THE ACTIVITIES AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ASSOCIATION** 

It is almost 3 years since Steve And Sue took up their duties at the Association. 

They have continued to work to maximise Initiatives and events that have markedly improved the overall finances. This has allowed us to prioritise work that is essential for the smooth running of the Association. 

The Association continues to pursue grants for major initiatives. This is now much easier being in possession of a new 99 year lease. Chris woo, the ViceChairman is working on these. 

The Association continues to be a hub in the local community,  with groups using the Association of facilities for meetings and workshops. In addition businesses also use the facilities for training purposes. As always events such as weddings, family celebrations and of course a local community venue for funeral arrangements. Of course a lot of these events have been curtailed by the continuing pandemic. 

Also the sporting activities of the Association have been badly affected with leagues been put on hold. The junior leagues have been very resilient but unfortunately senior leagues have suffered. Regretfully Northfield town have had to disband. We will miss them as a very well organised and professional part of the Association. We hope to replace them ready for the coming season. 

As I reported last year, the time made available during lockdown allowed us to do vital work to the premises. We now feel that the work done has greatly enhanced the bar area and hall. 

This work is ongoing and members hopefully will noticed improvements over the coming weeks. 

3 



Also it will be necessary to improve the changing facilities. Again we hope to see improvements in the coming weeks. 

Hopefully we will stay out of lockdown allowing us to maximise the facilities with regard to functions and events and as a result revitalise the finances of the Association. As you remember at the beginning of lockdown we implemented strict entry and membership requirements for the Association. We intend to review the current membership and entry system into the Association. We hope to have something in place for the New Year. We will of course keep members informed. 

We would also like to give a thank you to the membership who have adhered to the “restrictions” placed upon them before lockdown finally ended. It did allow for some semblance of normality, allowing us to meet with friends to chat and socialise generally. 

Finally, as always, special thanks to Steve and Sue and the Society staff for the continued friendly and courteous manner in which they conduct themselves. In addition special thanks are also expressed to all those who contribute to the smooth running of the Association, many of them unnamed volunteers, without whom the Association would cease to exist.
