NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Convention
In previous years the Accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention . In future fixed assets are no longer capitalised and the matching principle is used.
A profit or loss figure for the Accounting period matchs the revenue received with expenses paid.
Accounting for shows and other activities
A financial statement is prepared for each activity, showing the surplus or deficit. All costs and revenues associated with the activity are included.
2 PREMISES
The halls of the Victoria Hall charity are the main performance, rehearsal and meeting place for the Group. In 2013 the Group made an advanced rental payment of £50,000 from its building fund to facilitate the construction of the Jubilee Hall. These monies are received back as credits over 20 years which which are inflation linked and reduce the monthly rental payments.
An estimate of annual VH and JH usage is made and this is used to calculate a reduced standard charge which is then allocated to the Hall use by shows. Unallocated costs become an Office Expense.
In 2011, a six year lease was signed for a Unit at Bunkers Hill Farm to provide storage and workshop facilities. The £4,000 annual Rental is paid quarterly in advance. This was renewed for a further six years to 2025 in 2019 at the same rental.
