Chairman's Report:
Apologies for my absence but l am currently not well. Affiliated to Surf Life Saving Cornwall
and the Surf Life Saving Association of Great Britain HEADQUARTERS Portreath Beach,
Portreath, Cornwall UK. WEBSITE WV4W.POrtreathslsc.co.uk Welcome to the 66th Annual
General Meeting of Portreath Surf Life Saving Club, iys been another great year, despite the
poor weather and sea conditions the members have got stuck in and made the most of it.
The year again started with the National Stillwater events. in which the yOLrth did team did
well, and Izzy Leigh took out a National Title in the Open. We then got on to the beach and
provided voluntary patrols during Easter and the May holidays. We again had another
successful Club Training Camp at beachside Holiday Park. which proved successful in terms
of training and socially. The season continued as nomlal with qualifications and award
training take place. surf lifesaving activities taking place on the beach for all ages and a full
program of local competitions, national selection events and National Championships.
SPOND continued to work well and increased participation at all training and events with
everyone in the club knowing what was going on and when. The peak of this was on a
Thursday night Board Session we had over 50 people training in our Open surf squad, which
was a great evening. The club continued to train lifeguards and again many club members
went on to paid employment with the RNLI. With the weather not great we managed to just
about get though the Cornish Nipper. Open and Masters Championships with a bit of
disruption, but the Cornish Youth Champs was very successful for both the club and the
region and full credit to all the helpers that made it happen. The club then went on to claim

its 19th consecutive National Title, with a great team made up of all ages from across the
club with many family members competing in the same team and many friends joining us
from New Zealand and Australia. what a turnoLrt, weather, surf and being back at Fistral
Beach in Newquay, we are returning for 2025. Other highlights include: The Nippers
continued their success of again climbing the points score table at Nationals. Piran Phillips
was selected for the GB Team forthe World Championships and also represented Portreath.
We successfully had a sponsored Nipper Swim which enable the Nippers to purchase 5 new
boards and a sponsored row/run which led to the purchase of a new surf ski. At the end of
the season, we had a great Dinner and Dance which will hopefully be the start of an annual
event again. The clubhouse continues to be our best asset in terms of giving our members
an experience like no other club and the opportunity tt gives us to do fundraising in it. But
on the flipside, it is also our largest liability and the 20 years plus building continues to cost
us more each year. As a club we must continue to fundraise to maintain the best clubhouse
in the Northern Hemisphere. In 2024 we elected John Martin MBE as our club President and
shortly after we lost him, as a long-standing member of Portreath and the World of
lifesaving he will be missed deeply but remembered for all he has done for lifesaving around
the World. As the Chairman of the club and a parent of now two nippers in the club l am
super proud of everything we do and could not think of a better club for my children to
grow up in and the opportunities surf lifesaving gives.
Yours in Lifesaving
David Green- Chainnan
Treasurers Report 2024-
l am pleased to present the Treasurers Report for the financial year ended 30th September
2024. As you will see from the first page, there has been a substantial net increase over the
year in the club's bank balances of £11,844.43, with the club ending the financial year with
£43,526.90 in the bank. This includes a cash reserve of £IO.000.00 for emergencies,
together with refundable deposits paid for club keys. The available funds are therefore
£31,682.47. In addition, as at the end of the financial year, the RNLI owed the club
£1,818.11 for their share of the club's utility bills. I would just like to highlight a few aspects
of the accounts: The Membership system for most sections of the club has changed this year
so that membership fees, equipment storage (where relevant), swimming fees and basic
competency fee are all amalgamated and charged quarterly by direct debit. This gives the
appearance that the money collected for memberships has increased substantially to
£40,117.76. However, you will see that swim and competency fees are down accordingly.
The club has been fortunate to receive several donations. totalling £1.399.21 for which we
are very grateful. The breakdown is on the final page of the annual report (Note l). The club
had applied for two grants for new equipment but was sadly unsuccessful. However, this
prompted a couple of fundraising sponsored events which raised £4,567.80 towards the
cost of new equipment as detailed on final page (Note 4). The funds received from hire of
the clubhouse have almost doubled to £8,571_80 (less £5(M), returned as a refundable
deposit). Details on final page (Note 2}. With the increased hiring of the clubhouse and the
club's social events, the bar has again made a very substantial net contribution of over
£5,000 to the club's income. Although the maintenance costs for the clubhouse have

decreased to £6,205.48 {Breakdown on final page Note 5) there remain some substantial
Costs to be paid to ensure the clubhouse is in good condition. Sundry income and
expenditure as in Notes 3 and 6 covers mainly licenses. key deposits and end of season
events. This concludes my report for the year 2023/2024.
