Treasurer’s report to the AGM

1[ST] APRIL 2022 – 31[ST] MARCH 2023

The year opened with cash assets of £15,627.82 and closed with a balance of £13,457.62, being expenditure over income of £2,170.20.

Our subscription income in the year has increased to £5,986.00 compared to £5, 674.5 thanks to extra members. Gift Aid on your subscriptions, which are regarded as donations, as well as any contributions at coffee mornings yielded £1199.33 this financial year compared with £951.52 last year. If you are a taxpayer, please let us know if you can opt into gift aid, which costs you nothing. Claiming for coffee donations is a new scheme, and the larger and more comfortable Methodist Hall has doubled our coffee donations. Please put some change in if you come to the coffee mornings to help pay for coffee, biscuits, and the hall.

Postage for newsletters and associated stationery has been increased slightly because of Royal Mail increases. We ask members using email to choose electronic communication to access U3A information, which is quicker as well as cheaper. However, we will continue to post newsletters to any member without email.

Expenditure on computer software and licences of £655.88 (last year £338.26) has included a replacement laptop for one becoming outdated, which has been refreshed and given to a member. Other software and licences help to improve the appearance of our newsletter and website.

Outings have attracted £13,000.50 in ticket sales to members, compared with £16,038.99. Attendance has been slightly more than planned for most outings, but unfortunately two outings were cancelled because of lack of interest, with refunds paid to any who had booked. Deposits for some future outings have been carried forward.

Our total funds remain healthy, although venues for regular events, outings, magazines, and capitation (the share we pay to the Third Age Trust) have become more expensive. To simplify our accounting and to make members’ payments easier, we have combined our main and outings accounts, though sadly Lloyds in Wallingford has closed, which combined with postal strikes make cheques take even longer. We have increased our reserve and earmarked some of it to pay for outings in advance.

I would like to thank all our committee for their support and particularly Malcolm Brooks for his work on our streamlined spreadsheets.

I would also like to thank Kieran Moloney for continuing as inspector, and for his diligence in reviewing our accounts. Kieran has kindly agreed to continue in the role for another year. I thank him very much for his conscientious hard work in approving the accounts.

Finally, thank you to all our members who have supported Thameside (Wallingford) u3a during the last year to continue and develop the activities of our lively u3a.

Anna Harvey
