  5. Introduction and background:Swot analysis • Opportunities • strong recruitment from novices and juniors • developing qualified coaching strength • find a new site giving more space and lower rent • raise money for additional equipment • look at free equipment from recently combined University clubs • develop new membership packages to customise attractive options • improving competitive results attracting new members. • Threats • roof replacement costs to force relocation or new building • new ownership of Walton Sports Centre, possibly looking for higher rental • conflict over allocation of limited resources • loss of competitiveness if fees rise significantly
