In 2011/12 the Golf Club was awarded ?600 from the Community Council Fund for last years event (?) (Brian can correct me if I'm wrong) which is an annual fund open to anyone in the borough to apply to, wishing to hold a one off event or activity that benefits a local community.


Often the money allocated doesn't cover all the costs, so any recipient organisation is within their right to charge a fee. For example we were awarded ?800 last year towards our TRA annual coach trip (this year we are receiving ?400) but the coach costs ?1200 to hire and we charge ?5 a seat to residents going on the trip. So the funding allows us to provide an affordable day out.


Funding to the Golf Club in turn allows them to provide a cheap event. Equipment, tents, insurance, TEN licence etc....all of these essential things cost money. I'm pretty sure the Golf club is making very little if anything from it. We are not talking Gleneagles here!

Sorry about that. Not everyone out there keeps their Word up to date. I'll make a point of saving in more formats in future.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
