As always the Association takes pride in being an asset to the local community. Groups continue to use the Association facilities for meetings and workshops. Occasions such as weddings, family celebrations and a community venue for funerals continue Events that have been organised so far this year started with the Christmas quiz, a successful New Year’s Eve party. A UB40 tribute evening and a Gold cup day in March. There was Northfield football club fun day in May and a Stand Out drama group fun day in August. Upcoming events that have been organised or an 80s night in September and a Peter Kay tribute act in November. An organised firework night has been planned for November as well. The monthly quiz is also going to continue. The sporting activities of the Association continue as enthusiastically as ever and our thanks must go out to those who volunteer their time to help run the many teams that use the Association facilities. You will of course have noticed that we have a number of league darts teams and have now formed a team to play in the pool league. The hope is to utilise the premises to the full to help maintain a sound financial base. The Association premises continue to be improved. The floor in the hall has been cleaned and stained and new blinds replaced the old damaged ones. No doubt members have noticed the UPVC cladding on the exterior of the building. Maintenance is ongoing. New plant has helped keep the pitches in pristine condition. Plans are in place to renovate the stands around the main pitch. Plans are also in place to refurbish all the toilets. It is with great sadness that during the past year we regret the passing of Peter Cole, Brian Field, Yvonne Fiddler and Margaret Hardiman. 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 unnamed volunteers without whom the Association would cease to exist. 3 **Accounts Examiner** Goodwins 6 Parkside Greenhough Road Lichfield Staffordshire WS13 7AU 4 Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 ## for Shenley Society (2006) Limited Shenley Society (2006) Limited ## Income Statement for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 |**TURNOVER**
