Presidents Report 2018

 

 

2018 Levin club, still the best possible place in town to get a drink and meal. Staff are great, patrons are friendly & sociable.

 

How are we doing?  As a Committee, we are voted into a position of being asked to lead the Club into the future. I hope we have been making the right decisions, please let us know if you think we are doing it all wrong.

 

Hopefully by the time you are reading this, we will have a signed contract with OPS Catering to lease the kitchen and front room on a share basis. This is for a 3+3 period with annual rent reviews. To achieve this we have invested in new and second hand appliances to set up a new kitchen out the front. The funding for this has been by an overdraft from the bank, the usual people that help, donate and just seem to make stuff appear and get done. Also some very generous donations from Plumbing World and the local Plumbers. This we believe will be a good asset to the Club in the future, so watch this space.

 

We had a good financial year, which has just ended. For the second time in 3 years we have managed to make a profit. We have had a very good turnaround from last year, but I think we can only breathe a little easier if we can do it 2 years in a row. Let’s see what we can do!

 

On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank all out staff but in particular Tina & Dianne as they have once again worked hard to meet all our demands. To Lindsay, our Patron, to the seemingly invisible people who help in lots of ways but don’t get acknowledged, Thank You. To the Committee, well done to you all and finally to all you Club Members, a lot we see regularly, some not so regular, we cannot be the great place we are without you all.

 

Our friends, mates, loved ones who have passed away in the last year, they will be missed.

 

Once again, thank you for having faith in what we are about – a great place full of great people – keep believing  

 

Bruce Love

President

14. General Business

Van -Max Tuhan thanked Bruce for his softly hard hitting report, Max said that the van needs to be used for more than a gold coin, and you can’t get a taxi to leave a rank for a gold coin. Bruce thanked Max for what he does. Bruce said we need to be trying to run it to 1am as we have had a trial at doing it to 10-11, but we really need to do it to 1am We need to look at ways to get more to drive it. Ian Renner asked if people who use it could take a turn to drive it- Tina said they don’t like having a night off drinking. Max said he is not sure if everyone is aware that we pick them up as well.

Lyn Shearman asked if the drivers are compensated. Lyn said she is happy to get a list of members and ring them to see if they were willing to drive one night. Chrissie Donovan said she would be keen to drive but does not want the responsibility. Phil Hansen asked if there was a requirement use the van as he would be happy to do it but to use his car.

Phil Hansen acknowledged what the guys in the Club had done as far as the front room; Phil said that whist there was no cost to the Club there was a cost to the people who did it for the materials as in the wood etc.

Phil said that Crash needs to be acknowledged for donating the $1100.00 he won in the membership draw back to the Club.

Bruce said that after doing the front that we need to do something in here and to keep up with front, that we need thoughts on what to do with it. He has the plans to look at for the Club. Bruce said to talk to us & let us know what you would like.

We have in the future the earthquake building in years to come and that is going to cost a lot.

Noelene Lyons asked on behalf of the older members, can the Wednesday draw be done at 7pm promptly so the older members can get home before it gets too cold.

John Lyons has asked about doing a fundraiser evening for a defibrillator – the Committee has discussed this and it’s a matter of getting an evening free.  Lindsay Mackay said that as long as it was accessible to the public you could get a grant from a trust- need to look for applications.

Ian Renner asked if many of the people that joined on the open day are coming in- there is a good amount of them coming in. We have continued to have people coming in from the cossie and other Clubs.

New member’s night – Lindsay feels that it is essential to have one to tell peoples the rules.

Design of premises – we should we be looking at a brewery contribution. Tins explained they don’t do those anymore.

Accessibility of organisations for regular meetings -Bruce said we need to attract people in during the day when we are quiet.

We are going to let motels know about us to get out of town guests in.

Bruce thanked people for coming today, it’s the same people. We need to get it out there for more bums on seats.

Once again thanks for coming – good afternoon

Meeting closed 2.50pm

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

TO THE READERS OF LEVIN CLUB INCORPORATED’S

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

 

 

We have audited the financial statements of the Club on pages 8 to 19 that comprise the Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2018, the Statement of Profit or Loss, Trading Account – Bar, Trading Account - Gaming, Statement ofChanges in Equity, and Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date; and the Notes to the Financial Statements that includeaccounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements of the Club on pages 8 to 19:

-        comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand and have been prepared in accordance with the Public Benefit Entity Standards, Simple Format Reporting – Accrual; and

-        present fairly, in all material respects:

-        its financial position as at 30 June 2018; and

-        its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended; and

Our audit was completed on 12 September 2018.  This is the date at which our opinion is expressed.

 

The basis of our opinion is explained below.  In addition, we outline the responsibilities of the Committee and our responsibilities, and we explain our independence.

 

Basis of qualified opinion

In common with other organisations of a similar nature, control over revenues, excepting gaming revenue, prior to being recorded, is limited and there are no practical audit procedure to determine the effect of this limited control.

 

Responsibilities of the Committee

The Committee is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for the Club that comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand.The Committee is also responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  TheCommittee is also responsible for the publication of the financial statements, whether in printed or electronic form.

 

Responsibilities of the Auditor

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

 

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit carried out in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts or disclosures, and can arise from fraud or error.  Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of readers taken on the basis of these financial statements.

 

We did not evaluate the security and controls over the electronic publication of the financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.  Also:

 

 

-           We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

-           We obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Club’s internal control.

 

-           We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Committee.

 

-           We conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the Committee and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Club’s ability to continue as a going concern.  If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.  Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.  However, future events or conditions may cause the Club to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

-           We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

We communicate with the Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

Other information

The Committee are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included on pages 3 and 7 but does not include the financial statements, and our auditor’s report thereon.

 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information.  In doing so, we consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If, based on our work, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

Independence

When carrying out the audit, we followed the independence requirements of the External Reporting Board.

 

Other than the other Partner in our firm being a member of the Club, and in our capacity as auditor, we have no relationship with, or interests in the Club.
