02 Esher Cricket Club Annual Report and Accounts 2009 0303 Treasurer’s Report Savills ‘Return to profi tability’ the ultimate all rounder In the year ended 30th September 2009 the Club made a profi t on normal activities before depreciation and taxation of £5,312, an improvement of £17,502 on the loss of £12,190 in the prior year. Clearly this is a signifi cant step in the right direction but there is still some way to go before we break even after tax and depreciation.

Revenue increased by approximately £47,000, primarily due to strong colts and family membership, additional sponsorship and fundraising, increased hire of the Club and ground, improved bar sales together with revenue from food and courses.

Costs broadly increased in line with revenue and the increase in activity at the Club. Greater ﬁ nancial control has been introduced including the regular monitoring of margins on trading Stephen Raven, ECC member (left) and Robert Adams, Savills (middle) presenting a cheque to John Woollhead of Esher Cricket Club activity. The margin on the provision of food was disappointing and this will be corrected in 2010. Helping the local community is something that Savills is immensely proud of. All other margins were in line with expectation.

As sponsor of the Esher Cricket Club we are also delighted to make a When reviewing performance it is important monetary contribution to the club, should a club member instruct us on a to note that in 2009 we made a fundamental sole agency basis to market their property and once the property has sold. change to the way we run commercial activity.

If your property is currently on the market with another agent, you should check you terms of business in order to avoid paying two commissions. In summary, 2009 was a much improved year fi nancially but must be regarded as a transitional year. We need to ensure appropriate pricing in Savills are proud to sponsor Esher Cricket Club all regards and continue the trend of increased use of the Club and ground by members. I am confi dent that we will report an improved fi nancial position in 2010.
