and Nationwide, and no significant
liabilities. However, without the Covid
support grants the club would have
made a five figure loss. Fortunately the
club has emerged from Covid
restrictions with record membership
and very active playing and social
activity. The reopening of the
clubhouse has made a significant
difference to recent revenues.
