Objects
THE OBJECT OF THE CIO IS TO PROMOTE AND FACILITATE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN HEALTHY RECREATION BY PROVIDING FACILITIES FOR SAILING FOR THOSE RESIDENT IN THE LOCAL AND GREATER FLUSHING AND FALMOUTH AREA AND SURROUNDING REGIONS.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that cash balances at the end of the period were £95,909, which includes £14,282 from members who had renewed their membership before the year-end. The trustees have determined it is prudent to maintain between six and twelve months of anticipated running costs as a general reserve, noting the club is reliant on sponsors and clubhouse use for day-to-day costs. No long-term investments are held, with all funds kept in UK High Street banks for security.
What the accounts disclose
