This was very well attended with 49 new and old members present. We had a great night of playing games, winning silly prizes, and getting to know the new group of young people joining the club.

The 18th brought a night of advice from an expert. We had come along and talk us through the basics of rearing rally calves and what to do at this stage in the year to make sure we are set when it comes to May.

On the 19th and I took some of the junior boys to Silverburn for some ice skating. It was a truly terrifying experience for both of us as some of the fearless boys went flying round the rink at breakneck speeds. Luckily, there were no injuries and more importantly everyone had a blast!

To finish up the month we started senior speechmaking practises on the 29th. We may have been tight for time between this first practise and the date of the competition but that didn’t stop us being able to have 2 teams ready and raring to compete.

March 2025

The year finally came to an end with our Annual General Meeting being held on Monday 3[rd] March at The Coo Shed. After a fantastic year the club leaders were delighted to report the achievements of the club and its members. The evening proceedings saw a new top team leading the club into I’m sure, another great year.

Future Developments

The Club will continue to organise activities, which meet the objectives of the Club. In the coming years we aim to allow the club to continue to go from strength-to-strength.

The way this will be undertaken will be two-fold – 1) prolonging the financial future and stability to the club through careful monitoring of cash flows and assets, with both the secretary and treasurer having direct access to monthly bank statements, and 2) continuing to encourage new members to join the club, and ensuring the current membership list is maintained – whilst allowing members to undertake competitions and participate in events at all levels.

The club also aims to maintain the number charity events throughout the year and donate to at least one charity annually – which will be done by continuing to have a charity event like the All Star Mr & Mrs held we held in her 2024.

Financial Review

The accounts for the year are attached and form part of this report. The income and expenditure account along with the statement of balances for the year ending 28[th] February 2025 disclose a surplus of £4,702 (previous year 2024 – a deficit of £5,127). The accounts have been examined by Ms Sheila Tannock of Stewart Gilmour & Co, Independent examiner and Charted accountant.

During the financial year we continued to manage out finances in a way which safeguarded the financial assets of the club. The club continues to be financially sufficient and has adequate resources to continue running for the foreseeable future.

The club’s investments continue to be solely in cash – through a Treasurers current account with Bank of Scotland. This is a strategic decision to ensure the club is not exposed to any unnecessary risk – particularly that of alternative investments solutions, such as the stock market.

The club continued to support local charities by holding a charity All Star Mr & Mrs competition and auction which raised £5667.86 which with our donation to round up to £5700 meant our 2 charities FarmStrong and Beautiful Inside and Out received £2850 each. We also ran a charity Dyno day in conjunction with Crossroads YF. In aid of RSABI which raised £2164.

There were several events which contributed to the profits made this year but a very big contributor was our Open Dairy Stockjudging approximately £3000.

We are also now in our 84[th] year meaning our finances look a lot better than the previous year. The anniversary celebrations are over from the previous years and we are currently looking at ways to invest some of the profits made from this years events in order to support a possible 100[th] celebration if applicable.

' PrDvldlng the support we have recelved thls year contlnues and events are held as planned wlth equlvalent proflt ntsrylns, therp should be no foreseeable reason that there Is any rlsk of the profits or losses ¢hanglng th7matlcaUy In the future years. Slmllarty, there was no slgnfficant chaDge In tanglble assets for th15 year. Please refer to the club accounts for a detalled breakdown of our flnances for the year 2024-25 In comparlson to 2023-24. Thls report has been approved by the Management Comnjlttee on 3rd March 2025. Sjgned on behalf of the Management Commlttee.

The charitys trustees are resp)nsible for the preparation of the a¢¢ounts in accordance wth the terms of th¢ Charlties and Trustee Investment {Scolland} 2005 Act and the Charities AGGounts {Scotlandl Regulations 2006 las amended). The charity trustee5 consider that the audr£ requiTemenl of Regulation 1011) d of the 2006 A¢¢ounts Regulations does nc* appty. 11 is my responsibility lo examine the aceounls as required under wtion 4411) I c l of the Act and to slate whgthei particular malter$ have come lo my attenth)n. My 8xaminatlon is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities kounts (Scotlandl 20￿. An examination includes a review of the accounliThJ records kept by the charity aThJ a comparison of the accounts presented wth those records. It also includes ￿nsIderatIon of any unusual items of disclosures in the 8ccounls and seeks explanations from the trustees con￿mIng any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audrt opinton on the a￿Ounts. In the course of my examination of the aceounts set out in pages 2-3, no matter has Come to my attention 1. which gTves me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the wuirements.. - to keep accounting records in aGcordance with section 44111 la) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Aecounts regulations. and - to prepare ￿QU￿￿ which accord with the accounting records and com￿Y wrth R￿ulat￿n 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been md. or 2. to which, in my opinion, attenlign should be dra%￿ in c¢der to enabla a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
