Achlevements and perforniance Cricket Season The first team narrowly missed out on prc¥notion after a fantastic season. Whilst eventually finishing third, they will be disappointed not to have taken the step into the next division. However. the first team also bought home their first piece of silveTrvare in many yearsl In a fully dominating display at WedgwoLyJ the first tearn swept aside Oakmoor in the semi-final and then Meir Heath in the final to become T20 plate champions for the very first time. The Send team battled an extremely competitive division 4 and secured survival on the last day of the season. With more firsl teams coming into ts league next year the battle to stay comFetitive remains as hot as ever. Our Sunday sides also saw lots of credible SucsS with both the 3rd team and 4th team finishing third in their respecttve divisions. With the 4th team narrowly missing out on promotion in the final weekend. We saw gre* growlh lo our junior seclM)n lasi year. from being unable to field one side of our own we saw over 20 new junior member5 represent us throughout the summer. In 2024 we aim to run three sides of our cp•m through the summer months.
Bignall End Mlner5' Wellare Institute & Recr•ation Ground Income & Expenditure For the Financial Year ef¥JiTWJ 30th November 2023 gross ChaTitable income was recorded as £81 k (2022.. £63k) from donations & other trading activities. Indudod was Gfft Aid of £15k from the Soctal Club (2022: £26k). With the ever-in¢reasing costs of ulilittes rt reflected in the rent charged to the Social Club and increased depreciation charges. Ihe overall results indirate aloss of £13k in this yearfs accounts (2022". surplus of £15k). The Social Club continues to thrive, all be it on reduced profit rnargins as we have deliberately tried to keep drinks price increases to a minifflum. This has resulted. along wtth increases in wages. in reduced profflably and therefore a lower gift aid receipt. This sstuation has now been addressed and in 2024 margins have been restored to industry norns particularly in relation to non-member prices. So turnover is up but profilabilty down in 2023 but 2024 promises to be back at more nornial levels. The team have strNen to increase the number of ftsnctions which drive lurnover and profftably and with innovations such as the Tuesday dub and the Thursday quiz night. Bikets Weekend. and the Beer Festival a further increase in profit is forecast. Facillties Chan in Rooms The new changing n)oms were completed wilhin the 2023 financial year. The final cost was higherthan budgeted due to the continued increase in material costs but was covered by grants from Sport England and Walley s Brickyard. Nets A further grant from FCC Communities Foundation enabled the new nets to be completed in time for the cricket season which are also available to the general public as a condition of the grant. ht Sueen The sights screens were also updated. Solar The ongoing extorknonate costs of utiltties has fesulted in exploring the possibility of solar power and the first lentative steps were taken in the financial year. Memorial Garden The decision to build the Memorial Garden has created a spectscular feature initiated by Ihe Grocott and Clifton families and a lasting memorial which is now the centrepiece of Ihe dub.
Bignall End Miners, Welfare Instituto & Recreation Ground The dub has had a major ovethaul in tems of facilitses which should enable profilabilty and sustainabilty to w]cr&qse in Ihe foreseeable future.
