Welcome to the 65th Annual General Meeting of Portreath Surf Life Saving Club. The year has been a great year. an exciting one and a busy one with fantastic turn outs to all clLtb activities and competition. notsble things for me this year include the use of SPOND. the football match at the summer camp. the Branksome Chine week and the Nationals Championships at Portreath. The year again started with the National Stillwater events 8nd then got on to the beach and provided voluntary patrols during EaeT arKI the May holidays. The season continued as normalwith qualifications and award tsaining take place. surf lifes8ving activities taking place on the beach for all ages and a full program of local competitions, national selection events and National Championships. I feelthat the use of SPOND has increase(J participation at all training and events with everyone in the club knowingwhat was golng on and wtten. The club continued totrain lifeguards and 8gain many club members wènt on to paid employment with the RNLI. The weather was not kind for 811 three Cornish Championships. the weather was not the best forthe Nipper. Youth & Masters National Championships but again anothei great weeL creating many more National Champions and fun m8mories. A big thank you to Fiona and all those who helped her with the amazing camp stte for the Branksome week. The club then went on to claim its 18th consecutive National Title. with 8 great team made up of 811 ages from acfOSS the club with many famity members competing in the same team and manyfriends joining us from Newzeaiand and Australia. what a tUFnout. weather and surf at Portreath. We then had the European Lifesaving Championships 2023 in Poland and Belgium with Annie Williams. Izzie Leigh. Psran Phillips and Charlie Haynes 811 selectod to represent the Great Britain L5fesavingTeam. Izzie. Piran and Charlie all becoming European Champions and Annie also picking up medals in the Youth Championships. The club had a small crew of masters at the European Masters Lifesawng Championships in Be.uM with David Green. Matt Leigh and Sarah Anderson becoming European Champions and Katy Green and Steve Eva picking up medals also. TovRrdsthe end of the season. the beach conditions turned not so favourable and club members were InvolEd in several rescues once the lifeguard service had finished. This highlightingwhy club patrols in the busy periods when there is no RNLI lifeguards on is an essential voluntary service ourciub provides. Personally. it's been another great summer. TTry daughter has joined the club as a nipper and there is no better place for herto makefriends. hangout atthe beach. enjoy a fantsstic sport and lifestyle. As a club we must do whateverwe can to growthe club sothat as many people as possible can enjoy Surf Life Saving. Yours in Life Saving David Green

Portreath Surf Lifesaving Club Treasurers Report 2023 l am pleased to present the Treasurer5 Re)rt for the financial year ended 30 th September 2023. As you will see from the first page. there is again a substantial net decrease over the year in the club's bank balances of £12.012.97. with the dub ending the finanoal year with £23,729.25 in the bank. For a second year, the committee made the declslon that the financial priority would be to complete the program of getting the dubhouse into a good state of repair as well as replacing the lift and getting hot water and a glasswasher for the bar area. This has been completed other than the installation of the Ilft, which has been ordered and paid for. Portreath Improvements Committee have kindly paid half of the cost for vthich we are very grateful. We have 'earmarked' £10,000 of the £23.729.25 in the bank accounts remalnlng as a reserve for repairs to the l)uilding etc. In addition, as at the end of the financial year, the RNU owed the club £1.734.30 for their share of the dub s utility bills. This has now been paid. I would Just like to hlghllght a few as of the accounts= Membership fees (which Includes private equipment storage) is up 26% to £29,006.32 although this does, of course. rnean a proportional increase Is also paid to SLSGB. The club has been fortunate to receive several donatlons and a grant. totalling £3,369.87 for which we a very grdteful. The funds received from hire of the clubhouse have decreased to £4,895, malnly due to the RNLI paying for ty yeats In the previous financial year and then paying late in 2023. We have now carried out a rwdlew of the fees that are charged for the hlre of the clubhouse to ensure that we are covering the increased costs involved. The bar tskings Show £7.931.30, which is gjbstantially down on last year, however wlth most customers paylng by card and Zettle only paying into the club's bank account at the beginning of each month. Over £3.000 of takings from the Senior Nationals was outstanding. If we add this to the takings. the figu is £11,262.15 whittb COnfirn that the bar. again is making a substantial contribjtion to the dub. There is no sundry income this year. The arUnt for last year was for the insurance claim for storm paIrS to the building. The club has reduced the amunt spent on new equitment over the year and concentrated on repairing what we have. With reduced funds in the bank we are now in a position to apply for grants for equipm and grant applications have now been submitted for this purkKJSe. All of the brEakdowns rdating to the notes are on the last tm) pages and should be self explanatory. This concludes my rert for the year 202212023.
