After last year’s AGM, we decided to increase the cost of sessions and subscriptions. Along with the increasing number of attendees, thanks to the sterling efforts of our coaches, this has had a dramatic effect on our finances, as can be seen in the following chart:
As in previous years, our frugal approach to purchases has borne fruit, but we’re likely to need replacement targets in the very near future. Outgoings remain constant and are primarily associated with the rent of the field (which has remained the same thanks to Robert’s efforts with the school) and the rent of the Hall at The Legion. We’re also sourcing second-hand equipment rather than new, which has been beneficial to our finances, especially since our preferred wooden kit is seen as less popular.
Coaching also represents an outlay, as it has been decided that the club should cover the cost of insurance and AGB membership for the coaches. We also contribute to their training. Given that this is an investment that has recently borne fruit, with our attendance increasing, it is an affordable and valued investment, especially as there is some level of natural “churn” in any club; members come and go as their circumstances change.
Income has been via beginner’s courses, subscriptions, one-off payments (facilitated by the Sum-Up machine, thanks Dave) and monies from events, which, though the last of these was dire in terms of income, serve as a valuable effort due to the camaraderie as well as advertising (again, thanks Dave).
