PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2020 Another interesting year has passed and the Club is going very well. In the 3 plus years I have been President I have seen this Club start to grow back to the vibrant and happy place that it used to be. The buzz in the club from all the people attending evening, sub club events, etc. is very encouraging. The financial position of the Club is the best I have ever seen it, and the thanks goes to Ian, the Staff and of course all the Members that religiously use the facilities. We did not expect the Covid-19 challenge that hit us at the end of March 2020, but the Club has weathered this storm very well. Ian was proactive in getting in touch with our suppliers to organise payment holidays etc, which helped us out over the no trading time. The Wages Subsidy from the Government also help us retain the staff and give the staff job security. The area that still requires working on is growing our Membership. This has been helped by the creation of the Corporate Membership. We have quite a few Companies that have come on board with this and they are all supporting the Club. Again we have had many activities in this Club over the last year. Tournaments with 8-Ball, Snooker, Billiards, Indoor Bowls & Outdoor Bowls. We now have the new Sub Club being Darts, who are bring a lot of new faces into the club and will also be holding tournaments. It is good seeing all the visitors that come into the Club for these events and really enjoying the facilities I would like to thank the Executive Committee for all the work they have put in this year. Also big thank you to all the Members, that again have given generously of their time, skills and work during the year. The Club appreciates all the efforts put in. Thank you also, to all the Staff that have been here and served us all in the Bar, Office, Kitchen and Maintenance on a day-to-day basis. I look forward to seeing you all here again over the next 12 months and further into the future. This Club need you all. Thank you all again for your support and look forward to another great year in the Club. Sue McLean President

Life and Meritorious Awards Achievements announced –

Life memberships

President: The same especially applies to three members who been very hard working around the club over, many many years. They have been very generous with donations etc. to the club, a lot more generous than I would ever have thought any member would be. They’ve exceeded all our expectations. They’re still here, still willing to do things, donate, gift bits and pieces to the club and they support us every day and every time they’re here. I don’t really know what else I can say but I’d like to move we accept the following as life members of the Hamilton Cosmopolitan Club – each is very deserving of this award: Dawn Brown Jack Hewitt Pauline Hewitt The president presented the life members with their badges.

MINUTES OF 2019 AGM request of the Executive consideration of a Meritorious Service Award at the upcoming AGM to our Receptionist Manager Morgan Ellery for her services to the club. When anyone first enters the club it is nearly always that Morgan’s cherry face is the first to greet and welcome them. First impressions go a long way to what people take away from the club. Morgan has many and varied duties at the club, organises herself to cover these and does it well. Just a few examples are reception, club’s account keeping, service behind the bar and kitchen, still organising the Thursday quiz nights for a number of years now, booking functions both internal and external, club events organising, making decorations, putting special raffles together to fund raise for the club, making jams etc. to fund raise and so it goes on. Morgan takes on these duties willingly with the club’s benefit in mind and commits herself 100%. She is a valuable staff member and we feel she should be shown she is appreciated by being a recipient of this award. I also add Money raised by Morgan in one year: Gold coin bucket $2000 Bar tin $700 Jam/raffles etc. $2200 Total $4900 Morgan Ellery The president presented Morgan with her Meritorious Award.

Annual Accounts

Financial report. Glenn Sullivan (Auditor) made a presentation on the club’s accounts. *See attached. Discussion Open for discussion and any questions on the accounts. T. Stanwell questioned why the power point on screen was different than those printed in the Annual Report. M. Ellery explained that in the Annual Report it was a part of the previous year’s AGMs minutes. G. Sullivan (Auditor) explained that the power point printed in the Annual Report accompanied the minutes and Annual Accounts presentation given at last year’s AGM. The current presentation on screen is for this year’s Annual accounts and will be included in next year’s Annual Report as part of the minutes. It was also explained that this Annual Report had to be printed a month before the AGM as it was done “out of house”. We got the audit finished on the last day for printing. K. Stowers expressed thanks for the presentation of the accounts, considering them much easy to read. He suggested that having all the sub club accounts before the “meat” of the report was wrong and that the main accounts should be after the manager’s report. I. Morgan (Manager/Secretary) commented: This book cost us nothing. We got this done for free and it’s the first time it’s been done “out of house”. There are going to be teething problems we understand that. We know there are some mistakes, but if everyone had got there stuff to us on time, it would have been way easier. We had some sub clubs trying to give us their annual accounts just a few days ago when the deadline was four weeks ago. I don’t think we can rubbish it too much; be happy we have a book like this here for the club and it didn’t cost us anything. Moved President/J. Hughes Carried 8 | Hamilton Cosmopolitan Club - Year Book 2019 – 2020

MINUTES OF 2019 AGM Annual Subscriptions

President: Moved that the subscriptions stay the same at $80 (excluding junior/life members) Moved President Seconded M. McAllister Carried Discussion L. Unkovich said she understood why the subs were at the level they are but suggested fees paid to sub-clubs could offset the main sub. She said a lot of people can’t afford it. President: You can pay off your subs, minimum $10 a week over eight weeks so saying people can’t afford it when the facility is there to pay it off isn’t correct. A lot of people just put $2 away each week and then at the end of the year they have their subscription saved up. At the Clubs NZ conference back in March a lot of clubs we talked to are putting their subscriptions up also. There are some clubs up in Auckland and their subscription is $280 a year, there’s one in Hawkes Bay and it is $175 a year and their putting a building levy on top of that of $100 per person. Passed

General Business N. Smith wanted to know what our current membership at the moment I. Morgan (Manager/Secretary) 585 to date three months into membership year). Last year we paid a capitation fee on 701 members. It does grow throughout the year. Clubs NZ take our membership as at 31 December and that’s what we pay capitation on, which is $4 per member. D Ward: I’ve been a member 37 years, it’s disappointing to see membership drop. I would like to donate five memberships to get new people in here. President thanked Danny very much. Very generous. C. Potter I’d like the members to know how we paid for a new dishwasher and other things. President: We are paying them off from loans, which is executive business and that is where we want it to stay. That is enough. 12 | Hamilton Cosmopolitan Club - Year Book 2019 – 2020

MINUTES OF 2019 AGM C. Potter but don’t the members deserve to know how much our Manager does for this club and out of his own money without them knowing. People just dismiss him and it is wrong. President: Fine, Ian wanted me to state that the new dishwasher was paid for by him. And the club is paying him back, which is approx. $6,000. I. Morgan (Manager/Secretary) I think a lot of people don’t realise here that we are cash strapped, we did need a dishwasher, without which we can’t get a licence, our bistro closes, then our bar closes then our gaming, it’s a knock on affect. I’ve only been here 2 ½ years but I’m very passionate about this club and managing it, getting it out of the red and back in the black and we haven’t done a too bad job. I’ve personally put a lot of money into this club, thanks to my IRD tax refund which paid for the dishwasher. If we don’t do these kinds of things, we’re not going to be here. I do all this for you guys and I hope you appreciate it. On Tuesday the club actually owed me $11,500 for buying products for the bistro and bar, which you will see out GP’s are very good because I go and buy discounts and deals on products to keep this place going. Previous management never did this. Example, Waikato Quarts, we save $10 a crate by buying them at Super Liquor instead of Lion, if we had been doing this for the last 20 years imaging how much money you could have had. I just hope you appreciate how hard I work for all of you and to keep this place going. L. Unkovich the committee and Ian worked with us through a lot of really hard situation with the 8 ball club. We got through and got it in place and we are getting amazing feedback from everybody. They’re so appreciative. Thank you to 8 ball, Thea, Ian and everyone on the committee. The other thing I would like to thank the club for is, Cody made the NZ Snooker team to go to Russia and this club has been amazing and supportive. Thanks to everyone who have helped get Cody to Russia. We really appreciate it. President thanked everyone for attending and closed the meeting.

MANAGER’S REPORT 2020 After struggling for the last 3 years it is pleasing to inform the members of our club that we have made a trading profit for the first time in over 20 years. As you know when I came here and found the club financials and the club in general been totally mismanaged for all those previous years, the challenge was before me to put systems in place to get us back on track. Our auditor Glenn Sullivan and I set about putting a plan in place to have us back in this position in 3 years. This we have achieved with a lot of hard work and long hours that I have put in to succeed. I had the full support from our President Sue McLean and the executive of the day, who instructed me to run the club as if it was my own business. Without this direction we would never have got out of the position the club was in. Many changes were made, too many to mention and I became the most unpopular person in the club, but as I told members and committee to have patience and it will all come together eventually. Moving the gaming, TAB and operating from one bar meant our biggest saving and reduced staff to half from when I started. With DB coming on board and putting in a new beer system which cost them $14,000.00 was the beginning of a new relationship with the club. They doubled our Hecta-Litre rebate and this year we received $3264.39 an increase of $1300.00 the year before. Thanks to all the members who have supported the Monteith’s brand and made this possible. We were hit with the Covid 19 virus in late March and it only affected the last two weeks trading so our financials still stood up well and could have been better. The club for the first time since I took over has all its taxes paid up to date and debtors now down to weekly payments. Gaming was a big contributor to our profits with gaming been up $80,000.00 and improving all the time. I also leased out office space upstairs and this brings in $13,000.00 per year. Our staff are very good, and all love their jobs serving and looking after everyone and support me all the way. Special mention to Rose running the kitchen and her team, she goes the extra mile to keep all of you happy. Also, to Morgan for the huge effort she puts in at beg and call to all members and sub clubs whenever they want something. Morgan has also taken over all the book work of payments and wages, dealing with the bank and IRD which was something she knew anything about 2 years ago. Three club members I would like to thank very much for all the work they have done for the club and saved us a huge amount of money for their services are, Dave Moulden, Gary Thomson and Kieran Burns. Because we are trading better and the club getting into a better position doesn’t mean we stop now, this is just the beginning, as we have new projects ahead of us to keep improving our club. Thanks to all the members that have supported me all through these tough times, and to those that didn’t believe in me , just think I am still coming to my club and able to enjoy our great facility with my friends, play my sports, have a meal, a gamble and quiet drink. Ian Morgan Manager

Auditor’s Report I have examined the books and financial statements of the Ukulele Sub Club and have obtained all the information and explanations that I have required. In common with other organisations of a similar nature control over income prior to being recorded is limited and there are no practical audit procedures to determine the effect of this control. In addition, more detailed record of keeping would enable better analysis of expenditure. However, I am satisfied that the accounts correctly show the current financial position of the Sub Club.

FISHING SECTION The Fishing Club has had another successful year with charters out on the Mussel Farms up the Thames Coast going out every 5 – 6 weeks. We have been very lucky with only 1 cancellation and that was caused by the Coronavirus Level 4 lockdown causing us to stay in our bubbles and preventing us from travelling and fishing on our scheduled charter date. We use 3 different charter boats and due to popularity have to book well ahead. We tend to go on a Sunday but have done weekday charters. We leave the club at 5am in a hired van and are quite often back with our limit of 7 snapper each. Other species caught are Kingfish, gurnard, kahawhai, etc. The members pay the cost of the charter and we subsidise the hireage of the van. The main club give us around 4 raffle weeks a year which we are grateful for and this along with our subs (cheap) is our only income that the subsidy comes from. We do not have many members and are looking for more so if you are interested find a Fishing Club member at the club to find out more. Morgan on reception will point you in the right direction.

TRAVEL CLUB TRAVEL CLUB ACTIVITY FOR 2019 - 2020 Our new Financial Year started 1 September 2019 and we have had a number of functions until Covid -19 stopped us as it did to nearly everyone else. We have a membership of 29 people at present and we have around 20 of them at each event. Our subs are cheap and we are always looking for new members. Our committee meet each month and we try to organise something to happen for about every 6 weeks. We started off our year with a day trip to_ Rotorua for High Tea at Princess Gate Hotel and the 3D Gallery. The following month was a day trip to Auckland with a tour of Eden Park then lunch at a club on the North Shore followed by a tour of the Chelsea Sugar Works. We have done an Auckland Upper Harbour Cruise to the Riverhead Pub, had a Christmas Lunch at a lovely old Homestead at Gordonton, and until the Pandemic hit had a trip to Te Aroha to an Artistic Studio then to a main club member’s home to view their Military Vehicles and memorabilia. This trip had to be postponed and we hope to do it soon. These are the sort of things our committee organise for our members. If these things interest you find a Travel Club Committee member for more information and join up.
