Members Update:
Dear Member, please see below notices from our Honorary Treasurer and Honorary Secretary.
Financial Update
As you will all be aware, the Clubhouse has been closed since March of 2020. During this time, all staff have been kept on the payroll with the various state subsidy schemes making this cost very affordable. In addition, the Club has benefited from the State “Restart Grant” and from the IRFU/Irish Sports Council grants as well as enjoying a waiver of our commercial rates bill. While there has been some additional expenditure on Covid-19 measures and on cleaning, all other costs have been kept to a minimum.
As a Club, we are very fortunate to have loyal sponsors who continue to support the Club. Equally our membership has been very generous with significant numbers continuing to pay their subscriptions and supporting the President’s Covid-19 Appeal. While none of us has a crystal ball, the Club currently has sufficient resources to see us through the next several months until we can get the Clubhouse reopened and for all of us to play and watch rugby in Templeville Road once again.
