Membership numLErs have increased by 22% this year, thls Is seen mainly in Nippers.

There is a value of £2189 of dub kit in hand. considering this dothing has then made profrt of £688. As a club we now have a swimwear range for both beach and pool. this hès been really popular amongst members. we have kept the profft margins very low on thls due to the higher expense of these items. Profrt margins are generalfy higher on some ttems then others and through switthing suppliers. club t-shirts afe now muth kiwer in price and more affofdable. The aim is to ensure items are affordable to members but also support a small profrt forthe club, this is poter*tialty an area for increased fvture income if this reviewed. Tralning Pool fees have in(Jeased this year to £9446 onty slightly from the previous yearfs £9(KJ2. increase of E444. • Irb 2021-2022 a need was identified to inuease income to support pool hire ¢05ts which had increased by £51KM) in that year. The irKrease in c￿b membership fees has supported some ofthese costs £2740. • A new additional cost of hiring lifeguards to support pool sessions is also in this overall figure and would probably explain some of the increase ft)r this year. Equtpment A Fullabrook grant aCCe￿d to purchase 4 new skis forthe dub- £8256. These are now included on the dub's asset list. There were aly) repairsto boards/sWs requwed- £773

A steal frame has now been installed on the hut. The overall cost of this land to move it on to the beach) was £ItY452. The expenditure to remove the hut from the beach in September 2022. have also been included in this yearfs f8ures. due to invoices being received in this financial year. The costs include £2￿ to Nicksampson. £24(K) to AdaNts plant LTD (for sand movement). also £4(X) to B R Sloogie for dismantlingthe hut a total ofr. £5f￿). A request for a pred￿tIOn of future costs forthis process has been requested (but not received). A￿ditIonal modificationstothe hut have also been discussed e.g. blocks for It to sit on and galvanisation of the frame- it Is essential that the dub knows how much future costs forthiswill be and prepare forthis.

The club has had some s8nifirant support in fundra￿Ing this year. which has incTeased income signiftantty and trwffered the additional club hut expenses. • Income from Erants. donations and fundraising has Significant￿ increased this year by neady 3 times as much in 2021-2022 {£7118.231 this year to £21122.

Wrth(xrt this Savings account and Intsrest incixne The savww account has made a small income through minor interest payments £99.68. The fvnds in this account are classed as reserved income. They were collected many years ago to support a pemianent dwelling for the club. Unfortunatety. after fundraising this was unable to happen asthere are no names or addresses ofthe dor￿r$ the perniission to repurpose the funds cannot be gained. Thefefore underthe Charity Comrnission guidelines this fvnding must only be used for a permanent dwelling. If the club a￿ keen to repurpose the funds, they must gain permisston from the chartty commission. Due to the increased interest rate on savings the funds have now been transferred to 12mth fixed savings aco)unL where they will accumulate £6￿ in Inte￿$t overthe year. providing an additional income for the dub. This will mature at the beginning of September 2024. a deasion can then be made abtyrt the next steps forthis money. Asset list Board inventory dKI not get completed thisyear.

Induded in this is the surplus from the current year of £1439.22. As the club runs on the income of the previous year. throu8h an annual transfer from the membership accountto the ao account. it is essential that the club reserves a 'good' buffer to protect against financial changes ar)d challenges in the future year, this also protects cashfiow against paymentsthat are made in advan￿ for essential item5 such as kit.
