The Trustees are aware of the long term need to generate funds for the long term maintenance of the facilities.

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** At the last AGM I said that we were still in the process of seeking to appoint successors to Steve and Sue. You will all now be aware that Natalie and her partner Craig took over the helm with enthusiasm and a host of ideas. They have introduced many new initiatives and general improvements to the Association. They have worked hard to ensure the financial stability of the Association continues and are always seeking new ways to improve it. They have already made their mark on the Association and I’m sure members are aware of this! The work that was carried out to refurbish and improve the premises during and after the lockdown has continued. A lot of this is not obvious such as maintaining and when required replacing airconditioning units, kitchen areas including a brand-new extraction unit for the function room kitchen. The function room bar has been improved and general maintenance has continued. Plans are in place to completely refurbish and modernise all the toilets. The first of these will be the ladies toilets in the bar area. The Association is always takes pride in being an asset to the local community. Groups continue to use Association facilities for meetings and workshops. Events such as weddings, family celebrations and a community venue for funerals continue. The sporting activities of the Association are going from strength to strength. Although the football season is young Northfield town, seniors and juniors, are as enthusiastic and prepared as ever to have a successful season. The cricket season has just finished but they had a successful and we rarely rained off! Many members may be aware that a landmark event took place on Saturday 9[th] September when the inaugural match was played by the Northfield Town Under 8’s girls team. It was a lovely occasion and we hope that female football prospers at Shenley Lane. Could I also add that both the football and cricket sections are very active in pursuing grants to enhance and improve their own activities but also ground maintenance in general. Often very substantial amounts allowing the purchase of plant and machinery. It is with great sadness that during the past year we regret the passing of Gary Hitchman and Irene Knight. Our thoughts are with their families and friends. Finally, as always, special thanks to Natalie and Craig and all the Society staff for the continued hard work and friendly and courteous manner in which they conduct themselves. And as usual special thanks are also expressed to all those who contribute to the smooth running of the Association many of them named volunteers without whom the Association ceased to exist. ## **Accounts Examiner** Goodwins 6 Parkside 3 Greenhough Road Lichfield Staffordshire WS13 7AU 4 Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 ## for Shenley Society (2006) Limited Shenley Society (2006) Limited ## Income Statement for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 |**TURNOVER**
