Minutes of AGM 15th June 2026

Key points from the AGM:

Phoenix made a significant loss in the year ended 30th April 2026 – in part from decisions made to tackle essential drainage, in part because bar revenues/profits are down
The club remains very tight for cash – yet there is a backlog of maintenance work – drains, alarm, shutters, dishwasher in the bar etc
The budget for 2026/2027 relies on a significant increase in fees from sports sections
Sports sections can help increase bar revenues/profits by organising social events in the clubhouse, training bar volunteers and encouraging members to make full use of the clubhouse and bar.
The condition of the grass pitches in winter is a major concern to Lacrosse and Football – yet there is no quick fix
Destination Padel are progressing towards a planning application for 4 padel courts at Oakwood Farm
Discussions continue with Wilmslow Sports in relation to joining Phoenix as a Constituent Section and potentially building a 3G pitch at Oakwood Farm (for football and lacrosse).
The AGM agreed in principle that Phoenix should pursue a path towards incorporation as a company/charity.

The following were proposed, seconded and elected
