Secretary Report:

The secretary reported that at present it was not possible to send group emails to club members. GS would look into this.

It was also noted that there had been an exponential increase of general enquiries since the LL open day. This was now reflected in increased activity at pool sessions.

Treasurer:

£4696 is the end of season balance, this includes money ring fenced for lottery spending as well as around £1500 for non-cashed cheques.  So the real figure is in the region of £1500. The lottery money will have to be used by 1st March 2013. It was noted that all equipment is now insured.
