## Wheaton Aston Sports & Social Club
## Chairmans Report 2025
Over the past 12 months the club has hosted some very popular and well attended events, specifically the dog show, the beer festival in September, and King Milikaze day.
The cricket team continue to bring in a decent number of people on the Saturdays that they play at home and also the junior cricket training sessions for ages 5-12 on a Friday evening. These sessions have been really well attended and continue to add to the Social club income
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 a greatjob with some great ideas for future improvements and immediate changes to make the venue a more popular destination for members of the community.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS**
## **Receipts and Payments Accounts**
## **Report to the trustees/members of Lapley & Wheaton Aston Recreation Ground**
**On the accounts for the year ended 28 February 2025**
## **Set out on the following pages**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145)5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of independent examiners report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiners statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met: or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
