Pattishall Swimming Club
Registered Charity Number 1182552
Annual Re ort Season 2022 and Season 2023 p
General Statement
With the exception of the 2023 finance report, this annual report covers the 2022 & 2023 seasons. This is due to the Chair/Swimming Club Manager and the secretary standing down before another AGM will be due. As the charity financial year runs from November to November, the 2023 finance report will be prepared separately after November 30th 2023
All Covid19 restrictions were relaxed for the 2022 season and therefore the operation of the pool reverted, in most part, to pre-covid with some aspects retained for operational reasons. The pool continued to be operated in accordance with guidance from Swim England, the Health & Safety Executive and the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG) for the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
The pool was opened at the usual time, after half term in May 2022 with a maximum pool capacity of 12, compared to the pre covid capacity of 20. This was felt to be a more manageable number to supervise and gave swimmers a better experience. This was managed by retention of the Eventbrite online booking system, and two 30-minute sessions, rather than a 1 hour session, per weekend and holiday day were offered. One hour sessions was offered in the 2023 season with an increase in pool capacity to 16.
The higher recommended chorine level was reduced back to pre-covid levels for the 2022 season and maintained for the 2023 season.
Personnel
Geoff Brand, Max Brand, Liam Deighton, Dominic Squires & Andy Mills were responsible for the maintenance of the pool water for the 2022 season and Thom Collins joined the team for the 2023. Thom has now also completed a National Pool Plant Operator course and successfully obtained the qualification. Thanks is extended to all our volunteers who have maintained the safety and cleanliness of the pool water over both seasons.
We were able to run an STA Pool Safety Supervisor training course in June 2022 for an additional 7 pool supervisors and in May 2023 for another 12. Our thanks are extended to all of our volunteers for their time and support, and we hope that all of our currently qualified supervisors will continue to give their time in the 2024 season.
We would also like to thank Emie Kitson, of Aqualight, for carrying out our training free of charge. Emie has also agreed to carry out a course for next season and we will be looking to train an additional 6-8 candidates in June 2024, so please let us know if you, or you know someone who would be interested.
Committee
Sharon Onley stood down as Treasurer in 2022. Katie Pagett was appointed for the 2023 season but will also be stepping down as she will no longer have children at school. Geoff Brand (Chair/Swimming Club Manager) and Maxine Brand (Secretary) are stepping down from their positions with Pattishall Swimming Club.
Therefore, a new Chair, Secretary and Treasurer will be required by January 2024 in order for the charity to continue and for the pool to be operational for the 2024 season. Thom Collins has agreed to take on the role of Swimming Club Manager as long as this role can be shared with another person.
We would like to invite applicants to make themselves known now in order to facilitate a smooth hand over.
Funding
Operating costs in the 2022 season decreased compared to 2021 mostly due to the decreased chemical usage for both pool treatment and the very hot weather resulting in heating not being required for the whole season.
As mentioned in the General Statement above, costs for the 2023 season are yet to be reported.
Funding, however, is always a priority and we need to attract a membership of around 80 to cover the operating costs via membership donations in a typical year.
Training costs decreased in 2022 due to the number of Pool Safety Supervisors qualified from 2021.
For more detail, please see the Treasurers report under the ‘Finance & Accounts’ section.
Attendance 2022
Sessions were operated after school each day and on three weekdays and one weekend day throughout the summer holiday. There were some additional sessions offered too. Two 30-minute sessions were available on each day in the holidays, giving availability of 16 swimmers on each open day.
The pool was also hired by Jump In and Swim swimming school for intensive courses for 2 weeks of the pool season. This did create some extra administration and operational work but generated income for the swimming club. Please see finance report.

Finance & Accounts
Year November 2021 to November 2022
The Swimming Club accounts have been drawn up to run from November to November on a receipts and payments basis. The balance at the start of the season was £13227.73 .
The club is entirely funded by income generated through Membership Fees, Sponsorship and Grants and during 2022 the club income came to a total of £1933.50. £1164 came from membership income, £39.50 came from a donation from Friends of Pattishall School (FOPS) and a refund of £5 from Amazon. In addition in 2022, following the success in 2021, the club was able to secure additional income from a private hirer who used the pool for swimming lessons. This was very successful for both parties and brought in a welcome income of £ 725 .
Income is used to pay for the running/operating costs of the pool as well as repairs and improvements to the plant equipment and pool environment.
2022 Operating and improvement costs came to a total of £12716.81 , including £357.12 for insurance and £233 for the STA volunteer lifesaving training. The swimming club undertook refurbishment in 2022 replacing the fencing and the pool liner as planned, after securing income from the London marathon Charitable Trust grant and a Tesco grant in the previous year. The fencing replacement cost £6836 , the pool liner (including install) cost £3399.50 future proofing the pool for the coming years . The costs of chemicals and other maintenance costs in the season were £1891.19 . This was an increase on previous years due to also including items such as the foam underlay and adhesive for the new pool liner and composite decking for the pool surround coping, which was also replaced. Thanks must be passed to those that both arranged and undertook these works.
Utilities costs from the school were not claimed from the swimming club until January 2023 and so have been accounted for in the 2023 season .
The overall cash position at the end of the season was £2444.42 .
