2021 EGM
An EGM was held via Zoom on 11 February 2021 and was attended by 28 trustees, committee members and members. Michael Trippick, our Chairman & Club Secretary, welcomed everyone and described how our plans to build on the great start we’d made during our first year had been thwarted by COVID-19. He thanked the members who had stayed loyal and supported us throughout the current year and said he hoped we would soon be able to re-open for bowling, even if we have to wait a little longer before we are able to offer any Catering facilities.

He then handed over to Graham Withers, Finance & Legal, who presented the:

  • Club accounts for 2019-20.
  • Newly restyled version of the Club Rules which includes the changes approved at the AGM in February 2020.

The changes to the Club Rules were put to the vote and approved unanimously.

Last 100 Club Draw - July
The last 100 Club took place early in August. Sue Evans is the lucky winner of £50.00. 
In the present circumstances, it would be difficult to continue with this fundraising activity so you may like to help us raise money for our Club by buying some tickets in the EAST HAMPSHIRE COMMUNITY LOTTERY where we are listed as one of the 'Good Causes' (see our EHDC Lottery page for more details).

Sport England Community Emergency Fund Award
In May, we were delighted to have been awarded an amount of £1090 of National Lottery funding from Sport England’s Community Emergency Fund to help towards our various overhead costs during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.

The outbreak of the virus and the consequent shutdown of businesses as of March 23 has left the sport and physical activity sector facing a period of uncertainty. In response, on March 31 Sport England announced a £195m package to help the sport and physical activity sector through COVID-19. Within the package is a £20m Community Emergency Fund, of National Lottery money to deliver immediate funding to those who have a role in supporting the nation to be active but are experiencing short-term financial hardship or the ceasing of operations due to the impact of COVID-19.

The grant will help Clanfield Bowls & Sports Club to pay for such things as maintenance costs of the Pavilion and Bowling Rinks as well as broadband, website, software and other costs of preparing the Club for safe re-opening.
