Business Update We have continued to invest (more) in sailing so that we can promote our sport in the local community to make sailing more accessible, and providing more sailing opportunities for our members. We have also worked to improve the Club offering to our members and their guests.
Business Update We are negotiating with Thales to lease an area of land for lasers, to provide on-going facilities for this fleet. We are involved in discussions with NCC in the event that Newcastle is successful in it’s bid to host the Volvo Round the World teams for their Australian stopover.
Credit to you….. To our (internal) committees; social club, sailing committee, She Sails and Cruising Division ……for taking your own initiatives to take the club forward To all our members for your support, and “using and enjoying” your club
Finance Update The Marina continues to provide substantial cashflow with an average 90% monthly occupancy or better. Our new updated schedule for Berthing Fees has allowed us to correctly maintain our ageing marina and maintain our club buildings. The first of our 15 year lease berths expired this financial year. We have 30 remaining leased berths with varying expiry dates out to 2023.
Finance Update Our Clubhouse performed exceedingly well with revenue over the bar increasing by more than 18% compared to the prior year. The introduction of a contract caterer resulted in a small improvement in the Clubhouse net result. Cashflow improved this year to the extent that we were able to pay $500,000 off the loan that we had not been able to reduce the previous year.
Finance Update Corporate assets continue to be well maintained, including commercial buildings and clubhouse, the marina, and boats The Club has been refurbished and we now have a separate Trophy Room and safe access to the kitchen. We have also established the Foredeck Café, offering coffee and a licensed area to provide drinks while enjoying our beautiful marina views.
