## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR SWEET PEA BOWLING CLUB** 

## **CLUB CHARITY NUMBER 1191154 – 01/11/23 TO 31/10/2024** 

We have enjoyed a full season of fixtures and playing all our home fixtures on the new green and using the new Pavilion. Through our own Open Days and participating in a Bowls England Open day we managed to attract many new members. We finished the season with 51 members and that includes 18 new bowlers. As part of our pricing agreement new members get their first year free of any charge so we hope that most of them will play next season and pay full membership.  We collected £2,369 up £464 on last year. 

The major change in improving our income was having our own Bar and drinks licence which made a profit of £3,568.47. Raffles made £361 and teas £1,072. We received a grant of £2,385 from HBBC towards our new sprinkler system and other sponsorship of £267 for shirts. 

We still had ongoing expenses of green and machinery maintenance amounting to £3,732.41. Insurance has continued to be paid at a cost of £778. Electricity and water have cost us £819.95. We have new solar panels which have brought some income to offset the electricity bill. We have spent £1,90 on miscellaneous items for the new Pavilion like Coolers and fridge, drinks licence, fire checks, Premises Licence, cleaning materials and other general items. We had the normal capitation fees to be paid to Bowls Leicestershire and Bowls England of £645. £275 more than last year. At the 31/10/24 there was a balance of £8,449.50 at the bank and £378.49 Bar stock and £11.70 cash totalling £8,839.69. 

Our green as suffering from a lack of rain and wear and tare with not being able to do much new work on it. So, as we are in a healthy position financially our committee agreed to pay for a Contractor to relay the green and carry out maintenance to it for at least the next season. 

We are looking forward to enjoying a new season of Bowling and building on the success we had last season. With a new green, an excellent Pavilion and Bar facilities we plan to recruit 10 or more new members. We will be considering increasing our subscriptions nest season and retaining and attracting new members.
