## At 31st December 2022 

- 4 Boat Replacement Provision 

At its September 2014 meeting, the Club's Committee confirmed that the provision was adequate for replacement of the dinghy training fleet and that the fleet still had many years of life left. 

5 Subscriptions (but not dinghy park fees) were set at half price in 2021 to compensate for little sailing due to covid in 2020.  Hence the increase in subscriptions in 2022. 

6 The grants was an Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant from South Tyneside Council. 

7 The fixtures and fittings increase in fixed assets was for the refurbishment of the changing rooms. 

8 Sailing income was exceptionally high in 2021 due to hosting the RS400 nationals 



SOUTH SHIELDS SAILING CLUB At 31st December 2022 

## Report Of The Reviewer of Accounts 

I have examined the financial statements on pages 1 to 6 and in my opinion they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of South Shields Sailing Club at 31st December 2022 and of the surplus for the year then ended. 

The co-operation and assistance provided by the Club's former and present Officers throughout the review is gratefully acknowledged.
