 7.      TREASURER’S REPORT

John produced his report, attached as Appendix 1. It was noted that there is a deficit of £200. This is due in part to the club losing 7 members (one third) and the increase in court time for club nights. The membership now totals 16 with the budget being produced on an estimate of 22.

 The Committee discussed the possibility of raising the match fees but it was agreed that these would remain the same until the end of the season

It was agreed that the season would end on Monday 10 April before Easter, to save money with the tournament being held on that night.

John indicated that there is a possibility of incorporating funds from the Junior Club. This would be a one-off payment and would be in the region of £200-300.

It was agreed that we would continue to be affiliated to Badminton England as they offered public insurance that is required for hiring of halls and advertising of the club on their website.
