CONCLUSION 2009/10 was once again a difficult year Finance Renovations of the club Implementing the management changes The financial results are disappointing The club is in a relatively strong position The new revenue streams look promising. With the full support of the membership the club has the potential to become a self sustaining entity. As per tradition I leave you with not one but two quotes- Colleen C. Barret “When it comes to getting things done, we need fewer architects and more bricklayers” Moliere “The world is full of willing people, some willing to work. The rest willing to let them”
