CLTC AGM 6[th] June 2025
## **Treasurer’s Report for the year-end 31/12/2024**
## Governance
1. A huge thank you to Peter for all his work and efforts as treasurer. Having undertaken the role this year I can firmly say that Peter was instrumental in setting up a good foundation of controls and oversaw far more than I think people realised.
2. For the past few years we have been grateful to Richard Hallett for undertaking the independent audit of the clubs figures. Going forward if anyone else would like to volunteer for this, I’m sure Richard would be grateful!
## Member subscriptons
Member subscriptions for 2024 saw a slight increase of around 10% compared to 2023. We give members the choice of paying by card, by Direct Debit or by Bank Transfer. For the first two options we pay a commission which totalled £474 in 2024 the equivalent of 2.4% of gross subscriptions.
We continue to see rising costs which is why we found it necessary to raise subs again this current year, 2025. However, we believe the Club still offers great value to Members including free or pay-as-play coaching sessions, organised tournaments, an inter-club leaguer, free use of tennis balls, a ball machine, an expanding social events programme, a more-accessible and comfortable Clubhouse.
## Sinking Fund
Our “sinking fund” is money we put aside each year for anticipated major future expenditure, specifically Courts resurfacing and Clubhouse Refurbishment. As at end of 2024 the sinking fund had a balance of £52,000.

## **Commentary**
1. Membership subs were up 14% due to a mix in volume & price
2. Bar takings, BBQ's and event ticket sales increased from c.£1,500 to c.£5,000 (Carol & Duncan)
3. Interest increased by 427% which was largely helped by a reclassification of historical current account interest
4. Refurbishment expenses (see below) now being incurred driven largely by new security shutters for the bar area (£2,755) and architecture fees (£942)
5. Misc expenses relates to a £500 floodlighting survey

Evening Richard,
If you could just give the attached spreadsheet a once over I'd be very grateful. You're just looking
at the summary sheet and ensuring you're happy with how the P&L for December 24 has been put
together.
Any issues please let me know.
Thanks
