1. Summary
The past year has been one of change, development and growth for the DGA.
On-course activities have seen:
(1) an expansion of the number of Order of Merit golf competitions (53), attracting a great number of playing participants (82) and a wide dispersal of winners (26) spread over courses all over England.
(2) keen participation in an international event - the Phoenix Cup held at the Marriott Forest of Arden, with teams from Scotland, USA, Wales and England (the DGA team) for which "international caps" were awarded for the first time.
(3) the launching of a national Disabled Golf Week with half-day taster sessions held at various clubs and a successful fund-raising golf day.
Away from the course the DGA has:
(1) improved financial controls by making events "cashless".
(2) raised the public profile of the DGA by relaunching the website (400% increase in "hits"/visits), opened an Instagram account (970+ followers), improved the presentation of the Twitter account (doubling followers, increased to 820).
(3) improved public profile has enabled:
-
more one-off donations
-
securing of a two-year sponsorship of the Order of Merit by Golf Carts Europe
-
clothing sponsorship for the England DGA team at the Phoenix Cup.
(4) the introduction of a Code of Conduct for DGA members.
The DGA is committed to furthering a wide participation of members of all abilities across all England in the years ahead, while developing a strong and sustainable financial base.
2. Trustees
The DGA Trustees at the conclusion of the 2022 Annual General Meeting held on 20 November 2022 were:
Neil Baird - Chairman Lesley Bains - Vice Chair John Riordan - Treasurer Tony Jones - Secretary
Alan Baker (newly appointed at 2022 AGM) Jane Bilici Keith Dolman Glenn Jackson (newly appointed at 2022 AGM) Graham Moore Alan Orchard Neil Patrick Graeme Robertson
Two Trustees retired at the 2022 AGM: Stan Bembenek and Paul Piercy.
3. Financial Review
The DGA substantially increased income during 2021/22, with £20,614 raised from events (£5,205 in 2020/21).
However, the increased cost of running events charged by golf clubs and the DGA's participation in the Phoenix Cup led to a significant increase in expenditure during the year of £30,852 ( £6,983 in 2020/21 ).
Financial Summary
Income during 2021/22 £27,955 (2020/21 £13,002) Expenditure 2021/22 £30,852 (2020/21 £6,983) Net income/expenditure -£2,897(2020/21 £6,019) Cash funds at year end £11,666 (2020/21 £14,563)
The DGA greatly appreciated and acknowledges the support of the Independent Examiner, Mr Philip Albon, FCA.
