## **Treasurer’s Report 2022-23** 

The choir continued to be in a good financial position over 22/23 with our general income continuing to cover our running costs.  We continued to spend a lot of money on new music to replace the older, photocopied music that we have in our library. But now that we’re a charity, our gift aid claims are helping to absorb some of these increased running costs. 

Our 4 concerts during the year generated a net profit of approximately £875 plus another £300 in performance fees for the BBC Sunday worship radio programme, for a total of almost £1,200 in performance profit. 

The full accounting of our income/expenses for the 22/23 financial year are outlined in the P&L statement circulated by Bex.  All in all, we ended the year with a total profit of just under £1,300. 

Now on to the subs increase.  In the spring of this year, members of the committee and I conducted a review of what other choirs of similar calibre were paying their artistic staff and as a result we’ve agreed a new fee structure for our artistic team that is more comparable and more fairly compensates them for the work they do for us. 

As a result, and in order for us to cover our new running costs, the committee has recommended a £2.50 increase to our monthly subs, bringing the total to £15/month or £180/year effective October 1[st] .  We’re hopeful that this increase will fully cover the new costs so that no further increases will be needed in the near future.  I believe we now need someone to propose the subs increase? A seconder? 

That’s it from me. Does anyone have any questions?
