Para 1.20 | The Show, a one day event, was held on the Saturday before the bank holiday at the end of August in 2022. This was the first full show since the end of Covid lockdowns etc and there was a real desire in the local community to participate and support the show. This, plus the excellent weather, meant we had a strong turnout of competitors, exhibitors and attendees. The numbers of both were significantly above 2021. The show had a full range of activities and local businesses attending including a farmers market, trade and catering stands, show jumping, sheep dog trials, gun dog display, hawking, walling competition, a full range of produce and livestock exhibits and various fun competitions for visitors. Our livestock categories influence the farming committee in deciding what they themselves may farm and are great attraction to visitors. The show attracts a wide range of visitors from the local and farming communities together with tourists visiting the Yorkshire Dales. The Committee believe the Show is vital in encouraging young farmers and we make donations to a range of organisations connected to farming and the local community including the local school, young farmers organisation, the cave and fell rescue organisation and Yorkshire Air Ambulance. |

Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | As at 31.12.2022 the Charity is in a strong financial position. The accounts show a surplus of £32,673 for the year and our balance sheet is robust with £111,166 in reserve across our current account and savings policies. |
|---|---|---|
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Our main sources of income are entry fees paid on show day and car parking revenue throughout the year. It costs in the region of £50,000 to £60,000 to put on the show. Attendance on show day can vary dramatically depending on the weather on show day. A worst case scenario would be a last minute cancellation due to a flooded site. This has happened to other local shows. Such a situation would create a significant loss, possibly as high as £40,000 and more, due to fixed expenditure commitments. As a consequence of these considerations it is felt reserves sufficient to cover a minimum of two years of such losses needs to be reserved. Ie around £80,000 plus a buffer. |
