## Wheaton Aston Sports & Social Club Chairmans Report 2024 

Over the past 12 months the club has hosted some very popular and well attended events, specifically the dog show organized by Melvyn and Stacey, the beer festival in September, and King Milikaze day which brought a wonderful African flavor to the village. 

The cricket team continue to bring in a decent number of people on the Saturdays that they play at home and have also added a very positive revenue stream by starting a junior cricket section with training sessions for ages 5-12 on a Friday evening.  These sessions have been really well attended and have added approximately £6000 in takings over the bar. 

The junior football club continues to grow, and the Saturday morning training sessions are always very busy showing the club is going from strength to strength. 

Bookings for functions continue to be made with a large number of private birthday parties having taken place this year as well as some events organized by the committee such as bands and discos. 

The car park has been resurfaced to rectify the dreadful state it was in and remove most of the potholes and puddles. Thanks for this go to committee member Dan Morris for supplying the materials at a good price and carrying out the works himself. 

Overall, the Social Club is improving steadily and the committee are doing an excellent job with some great ideas for future improvements and immediate changes to make the venue a more popular destination for members of the community.
