Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
The peTi(xI cover￿1 by this report is 1" May 2024 to 30 April 2025 which
represents Poynton and District RoundTable's finanaal I charitsble year.
Poynton Bomlre and Fireworks - 2nd November 2024
We held the event as we always have on the nearest Saturday to 5th
November. Despite a small decline in revenue for the event from prior
years Iwhith was mainty due to a different mix of ticket sales) it was
another hugety successfrjl event.
Since moving to purely online sales for tickets it has revclutionised the
event Reducing upfront admin on prinb'ng tickets and getting sales
updates, massively reducing the (2sh on site and the risk associated with
handling large amounts of cash. il modemised the gate enty to allow fast
llowing enty to site. Finally it also offers a level of understanding on likely
profft before the event allowing us to plan inventory levels required for
bar5.
GcAng forward. we ￿711 continu8 to look at vRys of m(MJemising th8 8vent
to seek out further gains.
Our realised net profft from the event was £37,997J3
Santa Rounds - December 2024
Donations for the Santa round 2024 totalled £1.181. This is a 420/.
decrease from prior year. This on top of a number of increased costs for
things such as sleigh maintenance is getting close to making the Sants
rounds unsustainable.
There are a number of key factors to (%￿SIder.
The event is heavity reliant on volunteers and time from members.
Before this year we have been facing declining membership
numbers.
Due to charvJing membership numbers, we have slimlined the
fonnat to make resource requirements easier to meet. This fOrn￿t
introduced designated stopping t)olnts on a route" a fomat
Macclesfield round table uses and works very successfully for
them.
To be able to tow the sleigh we require a driver with a towbar. In
recent years we have lost members who have experience towing
making it harder to be able to do a round.
Minus expenses the total amount of money to be P￿ fO￿ard to
charitable donations came to £339.36.
A decision and vots shwkl be considered in thè upcoming accounting
perbod as to the viabiltty of the santa rounds.
Chartlable Grants provlded In the Perlod
