Regatta Safety Boating Base Charity No. 1155906
Trustee Report April 2024 to March 2025
This year did not start off well; the Canals and River Trust essential maintenance that was required on the sluice gates on the reservoir dam did not finish until June 2024 (actual end day 14[th] June 2024). Due to not being able to use the water we have lost 6 months income.
The first booking for power boat courses was in August and then the next one was in March as people thought we were still closed. We still scheduled 1 RYA Start Powerboating course per month, of which we had full courses for the ones we ran. In the previous financial year we ran 8 courses throughout the year, thus hopefully we will get back to or more power boat courses in the future.
Payments to the WHSA also increased this year as the per capita amounts that is paid into the association from the clubs on the Welsh Harp was also increased that year. The increase to go to improvements on the site. All invoices with the WHSA are now up to date i.e. from previous years.
The club house has been hired on occasion to run First Aid and Water safety management courses, but the monies for these courses will not show in these accounts as the payment was made in April 2025.
Insurance payments for the building, there are 2 payments in this set of accounts, the first on in April should have been in the previous year’s accounts, but we were late in paying into the correct financial year.
Moneys coming into the club are from the trustees, some RYA courses, renting out of the building, the electricity bill and part building insurance from the WHSA as RSBB now pay the full bill and cross charge back for the use of the garage insurance. These monies i.e., all the outgoings over the past years will need to be paid back to the trustees at some point.
To help lower costs, we changed energy suppliers as soon as the contract was finished with EDF. Gas and Electric are now with British Gas Lite, both tariffs are lower than EDF.
Overall, due to circumstances at the Welsh Harp, this has not been a good year. All invoices are now up to date with the WHSA now that all invoices have been submitted to RSBB. We will be approaching the RYA to change out status from just providing safety boat courses, but classroom courses, such as first aid, navigation, day skipper etc.
