APPENDIX 1
Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period |
The Club competes in National, Regional and local bowling competitions with varying degrees of success. The Club runs a full range of activities for both members and visiting participants. But the main objective is to providea facility to promote the social and health benefits of bowling. The Club was delighted to host the Bowls Scotland District Finals this year. Participants from clubs all over the North of Scotland take part with a view to reaching these district finals, with the ultimate goal to qualify for the National championships at Ayr. This was a huge honour for the Club and is a well justified reward for the hard work put in by the Trustees and members over the years. The award of the district finals necessitated much work on improving both the clubhouse and bowling green, reflected in the higher costs shown in the accounts. Therefore the Club had several fund raising events in the year, the largest of which was a big raffle which raised over £10,000. The club also received a Bowls Mark Scotland bronze award this year. This is awarded by Bowls Scotland for well run clubs who meet certain qualifying criteria. We are the first club in Ross-shire to receive this and we now look forward to achieving the silver and, eventually, gold awards. |
