Background informationThe Carlton Social and Bowling Club C.I.C (the Club), is a social club in Whalley Range, Manchester. The Club originally opened in 1913 as a private, members only, gentleman’s club, managed by a committee as an unincorporated association. By 2019, the committee, having explored incorporation options, put forward a resolution to the members at an EGM in December 2019 to incorporate as a C.I.C, adopt C.I.C Articles and make necessary changes to the old Club Rules and this was overwhelmingly supported by the membership. The Committee subsequently successfully applied to become a C.I.C in December 2020 and the Club was incorporated on February 23rd 2021. The Clubs financial year runs from January to December.For significant parts of 2021, COVID restrictions meant that the Club was unable to raise income as it normally would have done pre COVID from bar sales but it successfully applied for government support through furlough and business support grants.Community benefitDuring “lockdowns” many members expressed an acute loss of the social support the Club had afforded them, reporting a negative effect on their mental health. The Board addressed this in two main ways through opening the grounds and providing volunteering opportunities. With regard to the former, the community were encouraged to use the grounds to exercise and meet with others within the government guidelines and regarding the latter the Board took advantage of having an empty building and invited members, unable to do their usual work, to become volunteers, (looking after the grounds, repairing and decorating the ground floor of the building, etc). This volunteer group (“kind volunteers”) has organically become a reference point for the governance of the CIC, acting as a sounding board for the Board’s ideas and plans. A volunteer app, Sign up, was created to operate alongside the WhatsApp group so people could sign up for volunteer shifts and access role descriptions. We also ran a volunteer open day in the garden to thank volunteers, run training and briefing sessions, consult about the future and recruit new volunteers.Once restrictions were eased, the Board gradually reintroduced permitted activities which then raised income which could be reinvested in the business and the building. Additional volunteer roles then emerged: running the bar, erecting and dismantling gazebos, checking peoples COVID status prior to entering the building, making them aware of safe practice guidelines in the Club. These roles were well subscribed to and enabled members who were also volunteers to experience a wider sense of ownership of the enterprise.In summary, despite the restrictions COVID caused in 2021 the company did its best to fulfill its social purpose (as stated on our CC36): in the short time it could operate in 2021. Social Activities The Club has held 3 community cinema nights, 15 art classes, 8 live music nights, 12 DJ nights aimed at older people, 5 quiz nights, a Halloween and a Christmas Party as well as traditional darts, card games and pool.Charity fundraising When the Club was able to open later in 2021 it hosted social events to raise money to benefit 3 local charities.Facility hire for special occasions. Within a relatively short period of time available in 2021 the Club hosted a small number of member’s wakes, birthday parties and wedding receptions as a local, affordable venue.Arts promotion. The club invested in a system to display artwork for exhibitions and held 4 art exhibitions of local members, all of which raised charitable donations.Volunteering. The Club provided a range of volunteering opportunities which maintained peoples mental health and improved confidence as well as enabling several younger people to gain valuable “work” experience which later enabled them to gain paid employment. In 2021, 120 volunteers helped out for a total of 2,500 hours.Access to safe green space. Approximately 2,000 individual local people including many families with young children many of whom lacked access to private gardens, have been able to enjoy our green space in the really difficult circumstances of lockdowns and beyond. This was all within covid restrictions and test and trace record keeping requirements.The financial report and accounts will detail how a proportion of the Clubs income has been utilized on running costs and invested in the upkeep repair and improvement of the physical environment.Whalley Range Gardeners continued to run their weekly gardening and food growing sessions for all the community, free of charge. This relationship with the club was key to being able to offer a beautiful and peaceful outside space for our members and community, many of whom don’t have gardensFood and local business. The Hip Hop Chip Shop, like many hospitality businesses was suffering financially, so we entered a partnership for them to serve food from their festival trailer which was kept in club grounds. They donate a number of meals to families and the community. This partnership proved to be a fantastic offer to families to come to the club for “Chippy Tea”, the kids all playing together outside and the adults chatting. This operates still every Friday.
The Club has carried out annual member surveys since 2018 and has responded to feedback the surveys provided. In the last three years we have had the help and independent critical scrutiny of undergraduate students from the Manchester University Business School to do this. The Club’s stakeholders are identified as Club members including volunteers, people who are not members but who live in Whalley Range and the surrounding area and neighbours who live close to the Club. The Club consults members and non members through online and paper surveys and latterly through focus groups and has held direct meetings with neighbours.In 2021 the Club met several times with nearby neighbours concerning planned outside events. As a result of these meetings, events were modified to address potential concerns, better information about events was shared with neighbours and neighbours were offered free tickets to events. In addition a budget was identified to further improve soundproofing for inside events. The Club carried out a member survey in October 2021. Given the results were not collated until November of that year there was insufficient time to report the Boards response to the surveys by the year end nevertheless in November the Board made the following plans to be fully implemented in 2022:Increase the number, proportion and range of wellbeing activities (Film nights, exercise classes), members nights and live music events at the Club [ongoing]Refurbish the kitchen to enable the Club to be able to offer cooked food to members and their guests [completed November 2022]To serve hot drinks, a wider variety of craft beers and healthier non alcoholic drinks. [implemented September 2022]Further action on feedback from the member’s survey and focus groups of 2021 / 2022 and the non member survey will be reported in the CIC 34 return for 2022.
