## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT 2024** This year’s event took place from Monday 2[nd ] until Friday 13th June 2024, at The Flaxmill, Shrewsbury because our normal venue at Nesscliffe Training Camp was being used for other purposes. There was a cost to running it at The Flaxmill whereas Nesscliffe was free. Thankfully, Geof, our fund raiser was able to generate the income necessary to pay for the new venue. Nesscliffe camp site will be unavailable again in 2025 so we shall be returning to The Flaxmill. We had 13 scenarios – a new one being Cadent Gas who employed a couple of actresses to deliver, what can only be described as a phenomenal scenario about the dangers of Carbon Monoxide. Our other 12 loyal scenarios attended and continue to deliver some amazing safety messages for the children. This year we used Jenny’s catering for our lunches and they provided some very succulent menus and meals which were all enjoyed by everyone who partook of them. We shall be using them again in 2025. Ian convinced us to buy a stock of Gazebos and then he organised their locations and assistance, with the help of his son David, to erect them. Again, our team did a fantastic job in helping erect them and on the last day taking them down and I thank you all. I also thank Bernard for his tireless work in preparing, sorting and organising the schools, buses and his endeavours in sorting the accounts out – not bad for an Octogenarian. Without doubt the chaperones, who support us, do a sterling job and a massive thank you goes to them. Finally, I wish to place on record a big thankyou to all of you, the Committee, for your support and teamwork regarding everything that we do with Crucial Crew. ## **Maelor Owen Chair Thursday 13[th] March 2025** SHREWSBURY & OSWESTRY CRUCIAL CREW RECEIPTS & PAYMENTS 1 JANUARY 2024- 31 DECEMBER 2024 Rècei Pa ments 2023 2023 14242 Donations 6 Bank Interest O Other Income 33410.00 2092.58 130.00 1830 Catering O Transport Costs 2724 Operational Costs 803 Support Costs O Site Cost O Training Costs 493 Insurance 558 Admin Costs 68 Bank Charges 15000 T-shirts O Workbooks 21476 Sub-lotal 2793.85 2755.00 4347.79 0.00 4000.00 648.00 506.68 893.78 65.52 0.00 4984.00 20994.62 14248 SulFtotal 35632.68 45000 Transfers 60000.00 45000 Transfers 60000.00 7228 Deficit 0.00 O Surplus 14637.98 6476 Gpnd Total 95 66476 Grand Total Balances at 1.1.2024 add surplusldeduct deficit 71442.65 14637.96 Balanc88 at 31st December 2024 86080.6 Represented by Bank Balances Money Market Deposits Current Account 60000.00 26080.61 080.
