Ashwells Road must become self supporting......or else

A rigorous 12-month budget and a projected five-year financial plan have been drawn up to underpin increased use of the facilities and the generation of greater income at the Old Brentwoods Society’s Ashwells Road Clubhouse and grounds. They are designed to tackle the grave state of the Society’s finances, stemming largely from operating losses at Ashwells Road.

For many years, the Society’s operating losses have been accommodated from the Joe Hodgson Reserve Fund. However, this fund has been substantially depleted. The Society’s overall cash reserves are now so low that losses at the level of recent years could only be sustained for a few months without drastic action.

These events are taking place at the clubhouse during November and December. For further details please contact Tim Faiers (tel. 01277 214503) timfaiers@hotmail.co.uk or Melanie Bryant , at the Clubhouse (tel. 07988 670836) melbryant1@hotmail.com
