The 5-year Strategic Plan and Financial Plan were approved in 2014. The increases in Club membership subscriptions have made the Strategic Plan affordable. This Annual Plan and Budget covers the period from August 2015 to July 2016 and is the second year of the revised Strategic Plan The format and content are therefore based on the Strategic Plan. PRIORITIES FOR 2014/2015 General Over the past year the Club has delivered effectively against its communications, events and sports programmes. Its careers programme continues to evolve with the appointment of a Careers Fellow. Arts and Activities are achieving additional focus, and the Club has acquired an IT solution to improve communication to and between members. Events The Club will seek to improve the quality and attendance at its three drinks receptions (the City, Birmingham and Shrewsbury) and aim for increased numbers at OS Day. Henley, the Birmingham Dinner, and the Young Members’ London party will also remain part of its core programme. It will steadily build up the number of its regional, university and overseas representatives and provide administrative support for any smaller scale events there. It will also seek to organise themed events involving Salopian connections and, where possible, involve the SSPA on a reciprocal basis. We shall continue the established programme of sporting events and seek to develop more women’s sport as former female pupils graduate from university. We shall encourage current Salopian sports men and women to join OS sports clubs by a combination of house visits, closer liaison between sports staff and their OS counterparts, and timely reminders to year group cohorts as they graduate and enter the workplace. Arts and Activities Arts and Activities are acquiring an additional focus to develop a programme of events, some in conjunction with the School, during 2015-2016. Careers
