Treasurer’s Report
This year our membership fell by 5 to 26 with a number of
members not playing for a number of reasons.
The average attendance also fell from 28 to 21, including
guests, highest attendance being 25 and the lowest 16 although this is
disappointing the core of the society remains steady.
As in previous years the cost has been kept as low as
possible although we have made a small surplus on the Golf days of £60.25 with
the losses on some days being offset by surpluses made on others. The subscriptions have covered the costs of
trophies and prizes with a small surplus of £64, mainly due to the reduced cost
of the trophies over the last year.
As a result of this we have made a surplus on the full year
of £124.25 compared with a loss of £101.85 last year. We remain in a reasonably strong position and have sufficient
money in the bank to allow deposits to be paid for next year’s events.
Once again the Annual Presentation dinner was incorporated
into the final golf day and a subsidy by the society of £4.90 per person was
made.
The account balance remains healthy at £812.78.
This year for the first time we have been charged by some
courses for late cancellation and this has been passed on to the members
concerned. There is one amount of £10
outstanding to the society from one member which it has not been possible to
collect.
I am sure that more clubs will charge for late cancellations
in the future, especially where they have prepared breakfast and members will
have to accept that this charge will be passed on to them if they cancel late.
The accounts were
proposed as correct by John Fraser and seconded by Dave Foster and adopted.

There were no other nominations for the position of
Secretary; Steve Tigg, Treasurer; Robert Ellis and Handicap Secretary; Paul
Deeney the present incumbents are all willing to stand again. All were re-elected unopposed.
There were no nominations for the post of Captain the
membership agreed to leave the position vacant.
2011 venues and prices
Steve Tigg stated that he had not booked any venues for 2012
because he wanted to get agreement as what day of the week to book venues on.
After discussion over the club opening times the membership
agreed to play on Fridays and to continue with the existing price structure.
The membership also agreed that after such a successful
finals day at Ifield that they would like to return there at the end of the
2012 season.
Course Handicaps
Paul Deeney had had discussions with the handicap software support
team. He found that there is an upgrade
available at a cost of £89.00. He had
also found after discussions that we could get a more informed handicap with
our current version by only holding three years worth of scores.
The membership unanimously agreed to only hold three years
worth of scores.
Any Other Business
Ken Bridle
proposed the memberships thanks to he committee for there excellent work.
