Treasurer's report: 202212023
The 202212023 financial year had a drfficult start.
Effects of Covid were still being felt and bookings were low however over the course
of the year our bookings secretary's Hard work paid off and we ended the year with a
profrt of £9523.24 a remarkab￿ achievement.
Of those bookings we re￿ived, the income was divKled 46Yo from community
bookings and 540/0 from For Profit hire.
Communrty bookings were up 2°/0 (44% to 46%), whilst for profit hire was down 10/0
(550A to s40￿} of booking income.
It is apparent that our policy of HIRING space continues to be sound and in a normal
year we can expect to make a reasonable rf small profft.
Financially we are sound and have sufficient reseNes to continue into the 202312024
financial year whilst we hopefully we continue to build our bookings.
A note of caution needs to be sounded.
Our Gas l Electricty supplier has indicated. in line with other such suppliers a
substantial increase in fuel costs which will at least double our fuel bills.
Based on current consumption it is likely that we will operate at a loss in the coming
year.
Hire costs. The trustees as part of their Annual RevEw will look at hire costs and if
the climate pemiits, and they feel it to be ne￿$sary, adjust them as seems
appropriate.

Treasurer.
