5. Management
What a year! All was going along as normal then wham everything was shut down from 23[rd] March due to a pandemic of Covid-19. We could re-open the bar from 4[th] July, which we did with reduced hours (Saturday and Sundays only), a reduced drinks list and a different way of serving patrons (no standing at the bar at all). Thank you to the Bar Manager Rosie and our Chairman Jacqui for sorting all of this out and ensuring the experience was safe, with Track and Trace procedures in place and hand sanitiser everywhere. In August, as things had gone well in July, we also opened on a Friday and then a Thursday in September. Along with the nice weather which meant patrons could sit outside ensuring social distancing and a short but well attended cricket season our bar takings during August and September were good. We were settling into the new regime of table service only in October where numbers were low but steady when in November we went into another lockdown and the bar was shut again. We did open in December but by 26[th] we were closed again.
Due to the closure in March the Government cancelled all Rates payments for 2020. To help the survival of businesses that were closed they also gave us via Cornwall Council the Local Restrictions Grant which in the first wave was £25,000 another £350 was received for the November closure. As we were closed sporting members were not able to access their and our facilities or a way of raising funds themselves and as we had received the grant, we suspended sporting club donations and social membership for the year. We also only charged social members half price subscriptions as they had missed out on using our facilities for part of the year and we did not know how long we would be open.
Whilst we were closed it gave us an opportunity to do some maintenance. First up the car park, all outside edges were cleared of brambles, trees limbed of low hanging branches and then reseeded with grass, the potholes were also filled in, this was all thanks to Gilbert and Damian. The outside lights have been overhauled and replaced with LED units. The main building fascia’s and guttering replaced. Archie has repainted the main outside areas, the hall changing rooms and the outside toilet. The sporting clubs, as and when allowed and considering their own personal safety opened and started playing where possible over the months from July to October.
.
6. Future Improvements
Our one main objective for 2021 is to do something with the conservatory. This is in a bad state of repair. Discussions have already taken place with the Outside Bowls as to what they would like and require and will be taken into consideration with what we can afford to do.
7. Conclusion
It has been a strange year, but in a way a simpler year. We could do so little because of restrictions but it also allowed us to do some big projects because of the lack of use of the facilities. I am sure we will get back to using the club and its facilities in the coming year, but maybe not in quite the same way as before.
We always welcome input from clubs and social members for potential changes or improvements, so feel free to approach a committee member with any questions or suggestions.
