ARMTHORPE MINERS, WELFARE RECREATION GROUND REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP. Constitution and Ob"ects The charity is constituted by a Scheme dated 14 March 2003 and was registered with the Charity Commission on 21 June 1963 under the number 523472. Its objective is to provide a recreation ground for the benefit of the inhabitants of the village of Armthorpe near Doncaster, particularly (but not exclusively) those who are members of the mining community. The charity is administered by trustees and those who have served the charity during the year are shown on page 1. Review of Activities for the Public Benefit The Armthorpe Miners, Welfare Recreation Ground charity continues to provide sport and recreational facilities to the inhabitants of Armthorpe and surrounding areas through its four sub-sections; Armthorpe Welfare Football Club, Armthorpe Welfare Bowling Club, the Markham Main Colliery Band and the Armthorpe Sports Pavilion. The football club operate at step six of the FA national pyramid system providing competitive and entertaining football on a weekly basis. However, there have been big changes off the field thanks to the merger with the junior section meaning there is now just one huge community and family club offering footballing opportunities for young children and a clear development pathway into adult football all under the same Armthorpe umbrella. Whilst girls can already take part, there are aspirations to develop a full female pathway to women's football plus disability opportunities alongside the already established walking football team. In addition, the football club in conjunction with the central Miners Welfare Scheme have ambitious plans to develop the site the football club currently use with well overdue floodlight upgrades, a 4G pitch and brand new clubhouse all of which will create a much more welcoming environment to encourage more participation as well as new revenue streams to keep the charity and its aims alive for years to come. The bowling club maintain two high quality bowling greens in the heart of Armthorpe and offer a great opportunity for local residents to enjoy social bowling or start a new regular hobby. They also offer competitive bowling with weekly fixtures as well as community events and open days, not forgetting to mention popular annual tournaments such as the Ken Booth Classic and the Barrie & Michael O'Brien Memorial. The Armthorpe Sports Pavilion, once a cricket ground, is now a second hub for football activity in the village. It provides multiple high quality and well maintained football pitches for other local teams to utilise that also offers changing facilities and refreshments which is something severely lacking at most other pitches across the Doncaster area. This facility can also host our football clubs Development and under 21 matches as well as training sessions for the first team when the ground is unavailable. Markham Main Colliery Band is a traditional Brass Band who have resided within the grounds of the Armthorpe Community Centre and gardens for over 100 years providing a tangible link with the proud mining heritage of Armthorpe. The band was formed by the Colliery in 1924 to provide a social musical hub for the working miners over the life of the pit. It has played at the top Brass Band Contests in the Country and at it's peak it was regarded as one of the elite bands of the day competing with the likes of Black Dyke and Brighouse and Rastrick bands. Although no longer a contesting brass band, following the closure of the pit in 1996, we continue to support the local community playing for commemorative events, putting on our own concerts for the people of
Amthorpe and representing Armthorpe and its mining history across South Yorkshire and beyond, Aside from playing at public concerts the band has recently produced a CD and appeared on Radio Leeds. Its members have qualified music specialists within its ranks and can provide music tuition for those looking to play a musical instrument free to the general public, including children, and those who want to return to playing or start a new hobby no matter what age. Going forward the band are keen to be part of any development plans within the scope of the Welfare Committees remit and to help continue to spread the great reputation of this ex-mining village, Investment Polic The charity does not have an investment policy as such. The charity's liquid assets are held in a non- Interest bearing bank account meaning that the money is instantly accessible to meet the charity's expenses.
