Nottingham Outlaws Amateur Rugby League Football Club Summary of the main achievements during the period We run a Rugby League club representing 2 men's teams, a women's team and a junior's section. In addition to Core activities, we have also hosted University Varsity games, and Old Boy's matches. Additionally, we have hosted Weddings and Work events at the club. Financial Review Over the year, we made a good profit from our activities. Having made big investments in the ground in the previous year, we benefitted from several good sponsorship deals and grants. We have a heavy reliance on money taken over the bar both from Outlaws events, but also hosting events for others, e.g. University rugby games, Weddings. These supplement our income significantly, so is to an extent a single point of failure. We have rna1ntenan￿ and upgrades we need to do to our clubhouse, changing rooms and pitch. Critical issues expose the club to financial risk, e.g. burst water pipes or roof damage. The charity's policy on reserves We look to keep a minimum of £2,000 in reserve, to allow for unexpected items which need paying for, e.g. repairs. Signed on behalf of the charity's trustees..
