Keswick & Braithwaite Lawn Tennis Club

Job description for committee role – Treasurer

The purpose of this role is to be responsible for the club’s financial affairs.

Introduction

The main source of income in recent years has come from membership subscriptions with other sources including court bookings, floodlights, visitor fees, recycled tennis balls and grants/loans (where available) for any projects. The main expenditure has been for the use and maintenance of the tennis courts and equipment, with other expenditure including LTA registration, coaching and general administration.

Most of the income is received via our Clubspark website. Therefore, much of the income information required for the accounts and to monitor progress throughout the year can be  obtained through the website functionality.

The financial year runs from January to December.  Accounts are required annually to be presented to members at the AGM, usually held in February.
