- In the 2023/24 season membership numbers remained broadly stable with some increases over the period. The main reasons for leaving were pursuing other sporting interests/hobbies or challenges due to the cost of living crisis. - Income has increased given the greater level of activity and participation in external events / regattas. This has enabled greater numbers of members to participate in events of all levels of skillset. - Over 400 adults inquired about learning to row with the club, we were able to run the course in line with the appropriate charitable requirements. This is an important source of income not only as a one-off but also as future membership fees. - The juniors were looking to a strong national schools' entry. The senior men got the strong results at the national level, including Henley Royal Regatta. The women had a strong season, qualifying multiple crews for Henley Women's regatta and a crew for the Wargrave in Henley Royal Regatta. Training has continued through a robust programme and hope for further progress in 2025. - The senior squads have benefited from a lead and an assistant coach who have now been in post for a number of years. Junior coaching has a good structure, training and retention programme which is proving to be successful. The recreational and master's squads have been combined to better align the available resource and provide more opportunities to a wider range of members. - The safety and welfare of members remain a top priority, the officers responsible for this did a great job and always have full trustee and committee support. - We continue to monitor the governments covid updates and will follow any new guidelines. - This year we invested in new trailers for our boats, as well as key pieces of infrastructure to improve both the functionality and safety of our facilities. 



Reserves this year have been split between capital expenditure on new boats and refurbishment and rebuild of our clubhouse.
