Legacy Fund
Introduction
The Legacy Fund has been established to safeguard the long-term financial stability of our Club and ensure its continued development, even in the face of extraordinary challenges. By building a dedicated reserve, we can proactively invest in essential projects that strengthen our Club for generations to come.
Why the Legacy Fund Matters
While regular Club income supports maintenance, operations, and minor improvements, larger-scale development projects often require additional funding. In the past, major initiatives—such as the installation of the new jetty—have relied on special fundraising efforts. However, some critical projects may not always generate the immediate financial support needed.
A well-funded Legacy Fund ensures we can act decisively when vital projects arise. This is particularly important as we embark on Vision 27, a landmark project designed to protect our Club from flooding and safeguard our facilities for the future.
Governance and Oversight
To maintain transparency and impartiality, the Legacy Fund will be overseen by a committee of three past Commodores, reaffirmed annually at the Clubs AGM. This structure ensures that fund allocation decisions are independent of the General Committee, preserving objectivity and prioritising projects that benefit the long-term future of the Club.
