Stockport Garrick Theatre Limited
Treasurer’s Report on the Accounts to 30 April 2023
Production Income and Expenditure
In the year we have presented 9 productions, 6 as main stage and 3 as studio. Attendances have held at 54% for main stage and improved to 87 % for studio.
Regrettably main production attendances are still 10% down on pre pandemic figures.
Expenditure has generally been kept to a low figure.
Bar and Catering
Sales have continued to rise mainly as a result of the monthly Comedy Club which usually generates £850 per event.
The margin has improved by 2% to 55%
General Income
Subscriptions Membership of 146 is 6% up on last year. Your Theatre Lottery Although up on last year due to them delaying a payment of £344, the current figure is just £6.50 per week due to many members withdrawing from the scheme. Theatre Hire Apart from the Comedy Club which contributed £1650, a tribute band to 10CC generated £1050, and recently an Iranian Theatre Group contributed £900. It is positive that both the Comedy Club and the Iranian Group used the Theatre Downstairs. Rents Rent receipts are up to date. Terms have been agreed with The Spinning Top for a new 20 year lease, the new rent being £750 more at £13,000. The lease document has been signed. The new lease for Urban Haus Design Studio has been forwarded to their Solicitors for agreement. New terms £17,000 for 12 months and then £18,000. Donations £5,000 was bequeathed to the Theatre by the husband of Marjorie Heaps Several members made kind donations of over £100. Youth Theatre An excellent year with most age groups fully taken up. The income of £34,572 is £3,600 higher than 2022. The net contribution after taking account of associated costs and Faye’s fee is £19,208, £4,900 higher than 2022. Gift Aid Refunds Relates to the generous donations received in the year and membership fees. Fundraising A big thank you to Sam Marriott who raised £1,084 from his Mountain Marathon. Grants £5,000 received from The Ardonagh Trust, a Company Sam is involved with.
General Expenditure
Overall general expenditure is just 4% up on the previous year. Repairs No major repairs in the year following the decision to defer the expenditure on the Auditorium lights and ventilation in the Green Room and Dressing Room. Loan Interest Regrettably interest rates have gone up by 4% in the year, meaning that we are now paying 8.5%. Cash flow enabled us to make a lump sum payment of £10,000 in January and the forecast for the next year indicates that we can pay of a further £10,000 in January. Heat and Light We negotiated new contracts for both electricity and gas in September 2021, and although the prices went up by an average of 35%, the figures are well below current rates. The contracts are due for renewal in September 2024. Legal Fees Relate to the lease for the Spinning Top. Balance Sheet Fixed Assets A further £8,000 has been spent on the Theatre Downstairs mainly in relation to the bar and lighting. Debtors Includes £1,212 re gift aid, £7,411 re royalty and scripts, £1,032 re insurance and £1,347 re money due from Ticket Source. Bank Account Now that the pandemic is over we were able to offset the £6,200 against the loan. The balance was and continues to be healthy and will remain above £30,000 in the short term until the ventilation work is undertaken. Current Liabilities Includes loan repayments of £5,360 due in the next year and accruals of £3,072. Also deferred income re Youth Theatre fees for the summer term of £4610.
In summary the Theatre made a surplus of £32,397 in the year after charging depreciation of £18,398.
Post Year End
We have produced a budget for the year to 30 April 2024 which shows a surplus of £29,195 before depreciation, based on 6 main productions playing to an audience of 60-65% and 3 studio productions playing to an audience of 80%.
The budget includes £5,000 for Auditorium lights and capital expenditure of £4,000 on CCTV and
£12,000 on ventilation for the Green Room and Dressing Room.
