Nnanclal Perfornmnce and outlook
In 2022 the new Memorfal Hall committee focused on rebuilding hall usage and income followlng
Covid. In 2023, hall Income reached record levels due to increased booklngs along wlth the ever-
popular Trull Cinema and a suc￿55fv1 relaunch of fundrdising with a Qulz and Barn Dance.
As reported last year, wlth more stable Income levels. the committee planned to Invest In urgent hall
repairs and malntenance 8lven a pre-covld backlog. The aim has been to provlde users with a safe
and better presented envlronment. The main investments In 2023 have been hall ventilation, floor
varnish and new floor cleaner, increased storage, garden and external wall Improvements, a new
memorial notlce board and some exterior maintenance, plumbin8 and electrical work.
Total hall revenue Increased 32% to £31.121 in 2023 compared to £23.490 in 2022 helped by growth
in both group and private bookings as well as a full year of Trull Cinema and the fundraislng. Net of
clnema and fundraising costs, gross profit was £28,626 compared to £23,091 in 2022.
Operating expenditure has increased to £35,091 compared to £20.664 in 2022 due to the increased
repairs, maintenance and equipment costs. Operational costs were controlled well desplte high
inflation especlally affecting utility costs which were offset by savings particularly In insurance.
As a result of the repairs and maintenance. the hall has recorded a loss of £5.435 in 2022 compared
to a profit of £2,526 In 2022. The club had £65.720 in available bank funds at 31 December 2023
cornpa￿d to £67,092 last year showing it can withstand the current high level of repair costs.
In 2024, we expect to maintain Income levels while continuing to invest in the hall. We intend to
seek out potential 8rant income and do more fundraising given the current levels of spend.
