Red Lodge Community Pool
Annual General Meetng 20th November 2024
Chairperson’s Report
This year has had its challenges as from previous years. The pool still continues to thrive but with price increases from essential suppliers our profits are minimal. The Director and staff have been great at finding cheaper alternatives to decrease out outgoings.
The swim school is still very popular and even with the increase in lessons back in September we are still receiving new members and have had many come from other pools. The schools, community groups and swim clubs continue to hire from us. Our Adult 1:1 lessons have been well received and Pool parties have restarted which are doing really well, being booked up for a couple of months now. Bubble swims are still our most popular and profitable group at the moment. Parent and baby swim on Thursday morning are very poor in attendance so we are looking into changing this session for a more profitable one.
The website has been restructured and we are looking into taking payments online very soon. We also have more involvement on our social media page which has helped in getting the word out about the pool.
Our parking situation has yet been resolved but we have been given permission to make more spaces by taking bushes and trees down. We are currently trying to find the best means of removing the trees without extra cost to the pool but we are hoping this will allow and extra 3-4 parking spaces for users.
We continue to keep a close eye on the finances. After the successful increase in September for the swim school, we have discussed increasing the pool hire and public prices by 10% also. The swimming teachers continue to work extremely hard and have not had a pay increase for since April 2022 so we are looking into an increase for them also which we will bring to the committee.
The company’s assets in the end of year accounts for March 2024 show a figure of £96,035 which is down £4,749 from the 2023 figures.
We are still in need, and more of a necessity, require a new boiler as we are still currently functioning on one boiler. We have had a few essential maintenance jobs from taps in the toilets to the lifeguard chair.
The pool continues to comply with the legal standards and meet our stated objectives.
We are in the process of creating new contracts for the swim teachers and for the manager’s position.
Liza D. Cox.
Alan has done an amazing job keeping Red Lodge running over the years often coming in on his days off and helping in any way he can. He will be missed by staff and the many families he has taught to swim. We wish him the very best in his retirement.
