# **LAPLEY & WHEATON ASTON RECREATION GROUND CHARITY** ## **ANNUAL REPORT** ## **YEAR ENDING 28 FEBRUARY 2023** **The Club has gone through a year of trying to rebuild after coming through the Covid pandemic and with having to deal with increasing costs across the board.** **Club has seen a steady increase in bookings throughout the year including hosting the local Beer Festival which proved a great success with profits going to charity. A pool table has been purchased and is proving popular with a local team using it on a regular basis. Sky and BT Sport has been installed in the hope that it would generate more income from people coming to watch various sports that they cannot access at home.** **The sports field is used for cricket and bowls and a Junior Football Section has now been established. A very successful Stoke City football camp was held and there has been a lot of interest across the younger age groups and hopefully this will be a successful new venture.** **Overall, financially it has been a good year for the Club.** **The Club now has a larger Committee that has strived to update the fabric of the Club and move it forward to try and encourage the community to utilise it to its full potential as the Committee and Trustees consider it is a valuable asset to the village and surrounding areas.** LAPLEY & WHEATON ASTON RECREATION GROUND LAPLEY ROAD WHEATON ASTON STAFFORDSHIRE ST19 9QL Registered Charity: 522690 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2023 LAPLEY & WHEATON ASTON RECREATION GROUND INDEX TO STATEMENT OF ACcOU￿s YEAR ENDED28 FEBRUARY 2023 Content5 Page Independent Examiners Report on the Accounts Report of the Trustees Summary Receipts and Payments Account Income Statement Expenditure Statement Statement of Assets and Liabilities INDEPENDETr￿ EXAMINERS REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS Rece5pts and Payments Accounts Report to the trusteeslmembers of Lapley & Wheaton Aston Recreation Ground On the accounts for the year ended 28 February 2023 Set out on the following pages Respective responslbilltlès of trustees and examlner The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of accounts.
