How to report fitness/sports groups who train in park?

Its this time of year when we see sports groups poping up and running sessions in local parks. What gives these groups the right to take over parks and can they be reported to anyone?

If someone is running a small football coaching club and there are 10 kids who have paid £3, then that's £30 in the back pocket of the person running the session.

So £30 to spend in the pub the following day rather than giving it to the tax man

Should the Tax people not be asking questions?

Can these groups be cleared off the parks?

I can see your point, but isnt there enough space for everyone?

Yup. All those groups like sports clubs, Scouts, Guides, Woodcraft folk, the Ramblers, the WI nature hike, using public facilities like parks etc. You can't move for tripping over them.

What on earth makes you think that someone using a park as it's intended is doing so wrongly? Or oh, waitaminute oooooh money involved it must be Bad....

So cash in hand is fine is it?

Proof please.

Proof please.

Cash being handed to the person running the session

Are you one of these people who complain about Starbucks not paying enough tax or google for that matter?

We all must pay

A lot of people can be paid cash for their services, yet many will still declare all their earnings to HMRC. I believe that most have integrity

However this man spent an entire career of working for cash in hand yet didn't declare his income for 27 years!!!

Dude, you obviously like the outdoors so remember it's still Spring.

Use lighter lines, smaller hooks and for gods sake smaller baits. You'll never get bite like this.

Public space being used by ........the public:)

If they were not being used people would moan about that.

If there is someone willing to give up time to organise and run these sorts of things (and I know how much time and effort it can take) good luck to them and no doubt those who benefit would agree -

I think its great

So cash in hand is fine is it?

Works fine for my Scouts yes.

Kids football, scouts etc all need DRB checks don't they?

Proof cash is being received.

Proof it's to an individual not as a not for profit 'Club' or 'Association'.

Proof it's not a legitimate tax paying business.

Proof it's being spent in the pub.

Proof it's not legal.
