BARROW TRANSPORT MUSEUM TRUST LIMITED
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
A¢hlevem8nts and perfonnanco
Working groups at our garage continue and a core group of members meet on a regular basis to work on the
vehicles. Several vehicles have received attention this year, some have had routine maintenance and others are
long term projects.
The group ran trips to events throughout the North West and further afield, some being regular events but there
were one or two new events which were well attended. The main vehicles used this year were the Volvo B10,
PD2 169 and Mercedes Mini-bus. We were Involved with the organization of the Barrow Transport Festival where
we provided vehicles for trips and also static display. This event, as on previous occasions, was a big success
and we hope to use our contacts amongst other bus groups and owners to build on this in future years. We also
ran the trips for the tall ships festival and the park and ride for the RNLI Lifeboat Gala.
Unfortunately, several of our vehicles have suffered from mechanlcal issues thls year, which has left us with a
limited pool of vehicles to take out to events. The Leyland PD2 169 has developed an engine water leak which
has limited its use to very local events whilst a replacement engine is sought. The restoration of the Seadog
continues with replacement engine being rebuilt and the upstairs seats are due to be reupholstered soon. Parts
are being sourced for the Leyland Tiger and hopefully it will be able to return to the road soon as it proves to be a
comfortable and relatively speedy vehicle for the longer trips.
The Group would like to acknowledge the support given by Andy Camp from North Western Motor servI￿s
whose mechanical and technical expertise has continued to help the group thls year.
The Barrow Transport Museum Trust Ltd continues to run a fund raising scheme based around the bonus ball
number drawn every Saturday in the National lottery. Flfty nine numbers are allocated, each one costing £2,
raising a possible £118 per week, the winning member receives £50 and the remaining £68 goes to Trust funds.
Initially 53 of the 59 numbers were taken, hopefully all the remaining numbers will soon be allocat￿1. This
scheme has remained popular and a steady income for the group.
As in previous years, the trust continues to work closely with local operator Stagecoach, Cumbria Classic
Coaches, k(r Coaches and other preservation groups including the Workington Transport Heritage Trust, Ribble
Vehicle Preservation Trust, Merseyside Transport Trust and the North West Vehicle Restoration Trust. The
company looks fonNards to continuing its links with organizations and individuals within the communty in support
of its objectives.
The Committee would like to thank all those who help the Barrow Transport Museum Trust in whatever capacity.
Flnanclal revlew
The results for the year are summarised in the Statement of Financial Activities (income and expenditure
account)- Incoming resources decreased by £7,196 (120/0) to £54,176. Expenditure totalled £50,213, a decrease
of £7,728 (130/0). This lead to an increase in the fund balance of £3,963 to £22,909.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specrfic use should be
maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month's expenditure. The trustees considers that
reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the
charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level
of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
On behalf of the board of trustees

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charty Commission. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts,
and seeknng explanations from you as INstees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether
the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in tre ststement
