£11,200 incre8se in membership income.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for competitions increased Slightly but the main reduction in overall cost to
£17.145 {2023: £23.596) is due to less teamwear being purchased this year.

prior year expenditure had a kitchen and boiler refit included.
Reserves
We report a surplus forthe year of £26,764 {2023: (£8,67311. The total surplus reserves now
