ACCOUNTS SUMMARY 2021/22

General Account

Financially the Group continued to ride out the effects of the pandemic as well as can be expected leaving us with a healthy Income and Expenditure account. I use this report to highlight some of the more major items.

Due once again to Julie’s work in securing grants, we secured a total of £15000 from the South Notts Trust Fund and the Bruce Wake charity which was provided to us through their work to support organisations like us through the year of reduced income whilst having the same fixed costs. As with the work on securing grants in the previous year knowing we had secured this support greatly helped the committee to financially plan its way through the year.

Regarding other income, rider contributions increased from the very low point in 2020/21 to £7992. In addition to the grants secured, other donations were very gratefully received in year to a total of £8804. Thanks go to Tesco, Jackson, Green & Preston, Caistor Civic Society, Clee Rotary, Brigg Inner Wheel, Paypal and a myriad of donations from individuals. Lastly there were many small donations from individuals and from families and friends in memory of lost relatives and friends over the year. These donations are kindly given and very gratefully received and add up to a sizeable amount over a year. Thanks go to those who did name cards and tabletop sales etc. The amount raised in donations this year has, without doubt, helped the group to manage its way through this difficult year. Our thanks go to these people and organisations, without whose help the Association would not be able to be as active as it is. Lastly, we joined the ‘Winsby Community Lottery’ this year which brings in around £55 per month. Details are in the pack of papers on your seat.

The challenge for the year ahead is to continue to raise such monies which may well be difficult given the current situation in the country. It is a challenge that the Committee, volunteers, and riders will have to again contemplate over the coming months. The Committee will look at income and expenditure in detail soon but the onus for enabling the Group to function in a financially balanced way falls on all of us. Therefore, if anyone – trustee, volunteer, or rider – has ideas or can help in any way in this regard please do not hesitate to do so.

Regarding expenditure, I highlight the major items. Cottagers Plot expenditure was a little over £12280. Supplies – feed and so on – totalled £1980. Veterinary costs were £1102 with farrier costs totalling £930. Our annual RDA membership and Insurance cost £538. Lorry expenses – road tax, insurance, and a small amount in repairs this year - totalled £1169 which is up from £800 in the previous year. All of the above - to a total of £18000 (up from £14600 in 20/21) - can be termed as ‘fixed costs’ , that is the minimum that we can expect to pay every year. The other major expense was the purchase of ‘Cracker’ for £9000 and of the saddle, rugs etc at £1800. From this I hope that you can see much it costs to keep the Group going on an annual basis and how vital the donations and fundraising are to the smooth running of the Association. I would urge us all to take every opportunity possible to raise funds.

The balance is this account at 31 March 2022 was £28686.

Savings Account

The balance at the start of the year was £7590. Apart from a very small amount of interest there was no activity in this account

The balance at the year-end in this account was £7591 .

Looking forward to 2022/23

Repeating what I have said in previous reports I commend the Committee members for their work in the continued monitoring of income and expenditure and in their work in raising money – in such difficult circumstances - through the charitable grants, donations, name cards, and so on. I continue to feel that any future major expenditure will in all probability be looked at through the prism of additional grants. Fixed expenditure is controlled although we must of course continue to ask questions and to monitor this. We should note though that there is the possibility of substantial, yet unknown, expenditure and of course we are all aware of the cost of living and energy crisis for which we need to be prepared. Therefore it repeats saying how vital it is that we continue to seek sponsorship and donations from companies and organisations where possible as this is vital to the continued financial wellbeing of the Group. All of this said, it is again worth noting that RDA nationally recommend that groups have a maximum of 2 years running costs available at any one time and we do currently meet this requirement.

As Treasurer I again emphasise two things. Firstly, although our financial situation is relatively OK for this coming year it is vital for everyone – not just the Committee Members - to help with fundraising in any way possible – name cards, sponsored events, tabletops, helping with open days ideas, skills, and links into local industries and with regard to any grants that maybe available to help to raise funds for our vital work.

If you have ideas for fundraising; if you think that you have specific skills in raising funds or if you have links to companies who may be willing to donate to us, please talk to committee members or come on to the committee. Second, it is obvious that the full impact of the cost of living and energy crisis is yet to hit the group or the coaches, volunteers, riders and riders’ families. It seems inevitable that there will be a negative financial impact on individuals and the Group, and we should all be aware of the impact on everyone’s mental health.

We are stronger together.

Lastly my thanks once again go to Penny Petchell who continues to give her time freely to examine and prepare the annual accounts for us.

I commend the accounts to this AGM.

David Holmes (Treasurer)
