during the Covid crisis have borne fruit and the Club has returned to profitability and is generating decent cash flows. The outlook for the long-term financial sustainability of the Club is therefore very positive.

On the administration front, we have a large balance of unidentified credits and therefore remind Members to always indicate their account numbers in full, when making direct deposits in the Club’s bank accounts. And we request those Members who may have deposited money in the Club’s accounts but who have not informed us, to contact the Accounts office. We also encourage Members to minimise use of Cheques and to embrace electronic modes of payments, listed below.

For any clarifications on the above one can contact Diana the membership secretary. While we note a healthy number of young families joining there are no doubt many young potential members (18-29) known to us whose parents are not members and may not be aware they can apply on their own right. Both the joining fees (KShs. 92,576/-) and monthly subs (KShs. 1020/-) are extremely generous for this age category. Thank you and wishing you all a Happy Easter. Best wishes,

Kush Bhardwaj Chairman Balloting Committee

Dear Members I hope you are all well and slowly getting back to a state of near normalcy. I once again thank you for your continued patronage and timely payment of your accounts, which has helped the Club meet its financial obligations. It is encouraging to report that with your support, the Club’s performance has remained resilient. The cost restructuring measures that we implemented 4

With the Covid crisis now hopefully over the worst, the focus of the Committee has shifted to optimising value for Members. We are exploring investments in new facilities, to enhance Members’ experience and finding opportunities to review prices downwards, where possible. You will have noticed that we already reduced prices in Pinks by up to 12 per cent since last July. We also continuously keep looking for innovative ways of growing revenue as well as opportunities that deliver cost efficiency.
