Directors' Report for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025.
Directors of the company
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company is playing of rugby union football, cricket and netball
Business Review
Throughout 24-25 Weybridge Vandals Rugby, Netball and Cricket have built on the consistent support of its members and continues to invest in the fabric of the Club, facilities and the sporting sections.
Following the last years formation of the wholly owned trading subsidiary,- Vandals Trading ltd, this report shows the first period of reporting across two entities hence no rental income is presented within these accounts.
General Subscriptions increases to senior playing membership together with the continued growth of the junior sections, particularly the welcomed growth of the Valkyries, developing girls and women’s Rugby through dedicated coaching, and an increased focus on junior boys and girls’ Cricket have strengthened income.
The early moves made to bring the burgeoning Netball section to the grounds permanently to enhance footfall have moved forward to the Planning stage. These initiatives, together with our long- standing reputation as a club for the community, build on our vision to be a fully inclusive multi-sport facility.
Through our development fund, we have made further significant investment in the Club with the installation of new Toilet and Baby changing facilities and have also further completed essential grounds and facility works which underpin future development.
However-whilst our income from our core membership activities such as bar revenue and subscriptions has remained steady despite the general downturn in the economy, we have like other businesses, still experience significant pressure from increases in utility services and property maintenance costs, together with new minimum wage and taxation legislation.
The Board and key volunteers continue to keep a sharp focus on club running costs whilst providing high levels of facilities to the members.

Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.
Other grants
Grants received during the period for capital expenditure is provided within reserves. The grant is released at the same rate as the depreciation charge against the items to which it relates.

Accounting policies (continued) |
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Plant and machinery |
20% straight line |
|
Access road & car park |
4% straight line |
|
Floodlights |
10% straight line |
Investments
Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Accounting policies (continued) |
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
