What is ABSA?

Abbots Bromley Sports Association (ABSA) is a registered charity borne out of a vision by villagers, to provide a beautiful, 13 acre, sports and recreational space (including a brand new community Clubhouse) for residents of Abbots Bromley and the surrounding areas.

The whole of the community and its institutions have been involved from inception to the present day.  This includes the parish council, local schools, church, British Legion, youth club, scouts as well as the main sports clubs. 

​

In spring 2022 we were very proud to hold our very first game of cricket at the ABSA grounds and now junior and senior cricketers are regularly  playing and training on the grounds.   

 

Now that the funds have been raised to complete Phase II Groundworks and the installation of the new All Weather, All Year Round Netball Court is about to begin, we can crack on with planning and building the new Community Clubhouse.  This will be your place for socialising and celebrating.  Everyone is welcome, whatever age, background or level of skill to come and make new friends, meet old ones or just to take in the beautiful surroundings.

 

We have now built a bar and outdoor area, where adults and children can meet, socialise and just enjoy the space.  Plans are in place for this area to be covered in the near future.

​

In 2024 we also upgraded the toilets and added an accessible toilet.  Together with the AB Cricket Club we will be installing women and girl's changing rooms.

 

Location of the Ground:

Abbots Bromley Sports Association, Mill Green, off Lichfield Road, Abbots Bromley, WS15 3DR​

We need everybody in the community to help out.
Governance & Structure

ABSA was established in 2014 by the Chairman of the village Cricket Club, Football Club and the Junior Football Club and is governed and managed by volunteers and residents of the local community.  

​

In 2014 the ABSA Board of Trustees was established, with legal responsibility for the Charity. The Board makes strategic decisions, ensuring the charity objectives are met, risk is managed and there is full financial control. The Trustees continuously monitor and evaluate the aims and objectives in relation to our purpose and our constitution. 

​

The Operations Committee reports to the Trustee Board and these skilled people manage the logistics of the project. This Committee includes surveyors, accountants and others, who provide their time for free, who work with the appointed architect and deliver the project. There are three subgroups:

Fundraising

This subgroup is tasked with leading the fundraising drive for ABSA. From planning & hosting events, to liaising with sponsors.

Finance

This subgroup is tasked with ensuring financial control for ABSA.

Risk

Tasked with identifying and mitigating the risk of the project. The Operating Committee will evaluate and monitor numbers, costs, usage and maintenance.  Safeguarding and Health and Safety will be monitored at all times by our Safeguarding Officer who will also manage any complaints.

Local Sports Clubs and Community Groups (who are independent of  ABSA) have their own governance structure and feed into the project through the Operations Group.
