Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis due to the supporting opinion of the directors, the inherent strength of the business, and support and commitment of the membership. On the 1st of January 2025, all the memberships, assets and liabilities of the company transferred to a new entity, The West Hants Club (registered company number 13692644 and registered charity number 1204064), and the business ceased to trade. All trade and assets will be transferred as a going concern to the West Hants Club at the value held on the date of transfer, and for that reason a basis other than the going concern basis has been used in the accounts.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
