CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2023-2024 

There has been no change in the Trust’s objective to provide a recreational facility for the people of Erdington and the surrounding district. 

Income continues to be derived from subscriptions and from fees paid at the time of use of the indoor and outdoor facilities. The focus this year has been to strengthen communication with the local community and encourage them to use the Club and its facilities. This has largely been successful as several community groups now use the facility on a regular basis, with local residents also having taken advantage of the Warm Space initiative at the Club during the winter months. 

Despite the general rise in the cost of living, the Club has not seen a decline in membership. 

Bowls and cricket continued to be played regularly throughout the respective seasons. 

We have continued to further utilise use the now well-established cashless payment systems for items such as membership, green fees and bar usage. The Club remains virtually cashless, easing the administrative burden and reducing the risks posed by cash payments. 

Income has now returned to pre-pandemic levels and the financial position of the Trust remains robust. The Club continues to explore ways of obtaining grant aid funding for future capital expenditure projects.  The large increases in utility bills continue to put a strain on day-to-day finance. Measures have been implemented to reduce gas and electricity usage wherever possible. A further change in utility companies and careful monitoring of usage have also mitigated the effects of the price increases. After careful consideration, the programme of improvements to the Club facilities in preparation for the Bowls Club’s forthcoming centenary was commenced. The programme included redecoration of the indoor arena, provision of metal handrails on the outdoor green, and repainting of outdoor areas. 

The “bowls for health” initiative has continued and proved highly successful in bringing former members back into the club and introducing new members. Several attendees have commented on the benefits of the sessions for their physical and mental well-being. 

Continuing good and regular communication with members and sponsors along with an effective marketing strategy and tight cost controls should enable the Club to continue to look to the future with confidence. 

The Trust continues to have a full complement of Trustees. 

Financial statements have been prepared reporting the financial position of the Charity.
