Significant events
- “The Company recorded a slight decrease in Turnover following a weather disrupted opening to the season. Rounds of play were down in the first half of the season driven by a number of weather-affected course closures, whilst some recovery in the second half of the year, the full year remained softer than prior year.”
- “Mutual respect and Antiharassment training (ahead of legislative changes in October 2024) and finance for non-finance managers.”
- “Virgin Media Case: The Court of Appeal upheld the 2023 High Court ruling in July 2024 and there are plans to progress investigations into any potential impact for the Company's defined benefit pension schemes.”

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
