Chairman’s Report 2022
Firstly, I want to begin with a thank you to all the coaches, helpers and active committee members, without whom the club could not survive. Their hard work and dedication during the year has enabled us to deliver and maintain our commitment to training in these post Covid times.
Membership
2022 has seen our membership numbers decrease slightly, we currently have 195 live member accounts, 86 are Nippers, 58 Masters, 45 Juniors and 26 Seniors. The reduction in numbers is across the Junior, Senior, Masters section with the Nippers showing a healthy increase. Work needs to be done to increase the Senior numbers. This decrease in numbers has put a slight dent in our current financial situation but when combined with our Gift Aid rebate gives us a positive revenue position.
Qualification’s 2022
The club has supplied training and facilitated NVBLQ examinations with further examinations scheduled towards the tail end of the year, 7 members already gaining the qualification. There has also been an increase in the numbers of Level 1 and Level 2 awards again with many more projected to be taken in September/October.
As a club we are proud that we continue to train so many excellent young people in the skills required to apply to become RNLI Lifeguards.
Patrols
Mumbles members are now patrolling Llangennith Beach in conjunction with Langland Bay Lifeguards as volunteers, providing a valuable service on a beach that has no RLNI presence.
Fund Raising
We are currently running at a neutral revenue position, as such if the club wants to invest in new equipment additional funding will be required. As with any club; fundraising is always an issue. If anyone has any contacts, special skills or ideas please speak to a committee member.
In 2022 we have attempted to achieve a balanced approach and hopefully as a committee delivered what the members want, if we didn’t please let us know. As always we are here to act on your behalf and as such encourage all members (irrespective of age) to voice their opinions or stand for election to sit on the committee.
Once again thank you for your support and commitment in 2022.
