## Chairmans Report
The 2019 – 2020 season was brought to a premature end when the Covid 19 pandemic hit the headlines and the Government imposed the first lockdown in March. At that time, I don’t think anyone understood the impact the pandemic was going to have on all our lives for a significant period of time. British Wheelchair Basketball ended the season and all teams were ranked according to their positions in the league at that time. Although it was disappointing to not be able to complete all our fixtures, we supported this decision and all of our teams were ranked fairly reflecting our results up to that point. Towards the end of summer, BWB issued guidance which allowed small numbers to train outside. The club made the decision that we would not offer outside training. This decision was based on a number of factors including the fact that outside court space is limited, we did not believe it to be safe or appropriate for wheelchair basketball, the size of our club made it logistically difficult and, not least, the decision to allow outside training was made at the same time the weather and available daylight was becoming an issue. Since March, Steve Ryan has been in regular contact with the hospital to gain an understanding of when we might be able to access the sports hall for training. During the pandemic, the sports hall has been used as a storage space for hospital equipment. Despite Steve’s best efforts, we are not going to be able to access the sports hall for some time yet.
Frustrated by the lack of leadership from BWB, we looked at other possibilities and Sport England guidance allowed disabled groups to train indoors, albeit in small numbers. We found an alternative venue at Forge Valley school, thanks to Heather. In late October, we tentatively started training with our own risk assessment and Covid protocols in place.
This training was made possible as we were successful in funding applications with the Rank Pebbles Foundation, Cash4Clubs, Simply Health – Sported and the South Yorkshire Community Foundation. We are very grateful to all of these funding bodies.
Unfortunately, after 2 weeks of training at Forge Valley, the Government imposed a further lockdown and training ceased again for 4 weeks. We restarted training again in December, but the current national lockdown was
imposed, and we had to stop again. We do not know when we will be able to resume training. It is now confirmed that BWB will not be organising any formal competition this season.
This year has been a very challenging one for all of us. The various lockdowns have meant that most of our fundraising activities have had to be cancelled. The majority of our funds are usually raised in the Summer so a large proportion of our budgeted income has been lost. Fortunately, our expenditure has also been limited.
As always, I would like to thank all of the committee for their dedication to the Steelers. I would also like to thank all members for their support and understanding throughout this difficult year. With the vaccine currently being rolled out, I hope that we can all return to something approaching normality in the near future.
## Secretary’s Report
After the strange year we’ve had there’s not a great deal to report , Maurice has covered everything in his chairmans report so I would just like to echo everything he’s said .
Thanks to Maurice, Steve Ryan and Heather for taking on the roles of COVID-19 officers and rest of committee members for keeping the club running .
When we can get back to training and games we will be ready .
