Executive Summary

Prepared by Leanne Mirrey, Group General Manager

The estate enters the second half of 2026 in measured health. Across Forfar, Scotscraig and Montrose, twelve projects are in flight against the agreed capital plan, with member-facing disruption tracking below the 2025 benchmark. Two programmes — Scotscraig drainage phase 2 and the Forfar clubhouse roof renewal — are pending director sign-off and are the principal items on this board's agenda.

Commercial performance remains ahead of plan. The 2027 membership repricing modelling, the catering re-tender at Forfar and the Montrose kitchen refurbishment together represent the most significant uplift in commercial income for the three-year horizon. The directors are asked to note that 5 risks are currently graded High, of which three have mitigations awaiting board release.

The three-year capital programme draft (£8.4m) is included for first-read endorsement and remains within debt covenant headroom under the modelled inflation scenarios.
