WEST YORKSHIRE SPORTS & SOCIAL CLUB TRUSTEES REPORT 2024
2024 has seen positive steps and direction taken by the Club and its Trustees, Officers and Staff. After the general economic downturn in the hospitality industry and rising costs of supplies, energy and staffing, it has been difficult to regain those pre-Covid levels of activity with regard to function bookings and sporting events, and this is reflected in the trading figures. However, we have seen improvement and growth in end use activities and footfall.
The Club is in heavy discussions and negotiations with the local Council to provide a new longterm lease with multiple options to be considered. Extensive negotiations are ongoing with a recognised West Yorkshire professional sporting organisation to form a new partnership with the Club, which will enable funding from various sources to provide better sports facilities and move the Club and its members forward. Cashflow was helped considerably with the sale of the house owned by the Club which has enabled us to carry out significant essential maintenance work on the clubhouse and grounds equipment. This investment and uplift includes improvements and repairs to the bar and function room, which will make the Club more appealing to its members, its users and its visitors past, current and future. We expect to see an increase in usage for functions, weddings and parties as a result of these much needed improvements, repairs and uplifts, and the increased revenue will enable us to invest in improved sporting facilities for the benefit of the local community and the young people who use these much-needed resources.
Investment was made into pitch verti-drainage work, which has resulted in pitches being able to be utilised more, creating additional club revenue and bringing in new members. This has assisted in Girls Football being introduced at the Club.
A groundsman has been employed part-time to provide regular maintenance of the sporting fields and pitches and also look after general site keeping and maintenance.
The Trustees intends to create a Management Team, which will meet monthly to assess and monitor bar and club performance and provide future KPI, targets and future improvements. This will operate in addition to Trustee meetings.
The Trustees and Management will continue to monitor and identify means to increase income and to reduce costs to provide constant value to the Club and its members.
