We are particularly proud of our Junior Girls, especially Ellie who has represented Yorkshire & England and Hannah who is our Ladies Club Champion. Matches are played against the men’s section Rabbits, Seniors & Tigers. The Ladies also arrange some of the Club Mixed Competitions The Ladies organise the Mixed Open Day and the Ladies Open Day with the sum of £1,200 being given to the Club last year. 2012 was the centenary of the Ladies Section.

  19. Finance Team Mike Sharp – Club Chairman Julia Horton – Chair of Finance David Campey – Chair of Greens Mick Pickup – Chair of Social Sally McHale – Secretary / Manager

  20. Club Finances 2012/2013 • Our Aims for 2012/2013 were • To ensure the Club is operating on a sound financial basis • To increase the Club’s cash reserves in the knowledge that there would be a number of unavoidable large capital expenditure programmes in 2013/2014 • Improve communication with Members by publishing a regular Finance Newsletter giving details of current & planned projects and expenditure • In order to increase our cash reserves we have: - • Scrutinised the budget in great detail and made savings where possible • Commenced a programme of reviewing all contracts throughout the Club • Maintained a firm hand on the purse strings by working to a detailed budget and a monthly cash flow

  21. Club Finances 2012/2013 Cont. • General Savings • Team Expenses were reduced from £8,600 to £5,600 • Diary costs have been reduced from £3,000 to £1,650 and are virtually self financing • These are just 2 of the many small savings made over the year which have contributed to us achieving a surplus. • Course Savings • Fertiliser for winter dressing was cancelled saving £8,000. This was done by agreement with Gordon. • The acquisition of 2 greens machines( a mower and a rough cutter) has been deferred until this month.

  22. Club Finances 2012/2013 Cont. • Contract Savings • We have managed to negotiate an excellent deal with BT which will save £2,000 p.a. This will not only give us an enhanced service but also provide us with the ability to install an EPOS machine for the bar which will facilitate Members topping up their bar cards with a debit card. This will also have an effect in reducing banking charges. Our cash handling costs currently stand at 60p per £100 and we bank in excess of £150,000 of cash per year – costing over £900. • In 2011/2012 the Club carried out work on the Fire and Security Alarms and as a result of this reduced our insurance costs last year by nearly £2,000 • The Club is currently reviewing its cleaning requirements and costs for 2013/2014.

  23. Club Finances 2012/2013 Cont. Non Budgeted Expenditure We have been very fortunate this year to have had only one item of non-budgeted expenditure which was the Andrews Water Heater at a cost of £3,000 which had to be replaced as it provided water for the kitchen and ladies showers and 19th bar. The Budget 2012/2013 Financially this has been an excellent year for our Club. We have worked within our revised budget of 607 Members. Our green fees income is approximately £7000 less than we had anticipated but despite this we have managed to achieve our aim of a surplus income and this will provide funding for the provision of a wash down area for our machinery (a legal requirement) and will spearhead the development of an economically viable and sustainable Course and Clubhouse.

  24. Clubhouse 2013/2014 As you probably know we have a clubhouse that needs some substantial repairs and we think it is in all our interests to improve the situation and we intend to install a bio-mass boiler. Currently we spend in excess of £20,000 per year on heating oil which a new bio- mass boiler will halve. We have already undertaken an energy review which has highlighted a number of improvements. The roof is in desperate need of repair and we estimate this could cost in excess of £20,000. The boiler and associated infrastructure will cost approximately £120,000. It will be financed by a ten year bank loan and this year will cost £16,500 including the deposit, arrangement fee and 2 quarterly payments.

  25. Clubhouse 2013/2014 Cont. On the plus side, however, quarterly , the Club will receive a Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payments from the government of totalling approximately £15,000 in the first year. This will continue for 20 years and together with the fuel savings I have already spoken about will result in substantial savings. The reason for the urgency is that the Renewable Heat Incentive Payments will be reduced by the Government when the take up has reached 50%. We understand the take up currently stands at 25% and it is estimated that we have a 3 month window to gain the maximum benefit.

  26. To Summarise Projected Expenditure CLUBHOUSE Bio-Mass Heating System £23,000 Roof £20,000 Full service of the Clubhouse heating system with modern thermostatic valves being added to radiators as required, system upgrade to unvented system £8,000 Updating the Clubhouse insulation £5,000 Full review of the lighting in the Clubhouse, to incorporate Replacement windows for the Clubhouse - £20,000 GREENS Legal Requirement - Chemical Wash Down Area (2015) £20,000 Course Works – 18th tee complex £8,000 12th tee complex £6,000 Bunker repairs £1,500 Total £111,500 Whilst all these items are urgently required they will only be undertaken as and when funds become available.
