## Cwmafan Bowls Yearly Report 2025 

A good year we almost had promotion in one league and were mid table In the other. The club did well in county competitions especially the Ken Williams doubles and Double Triples 

Unfortunately, we did lose a few members, and they will be sadly missed. 

The clubs finances remain in good order, our treasurer does a great job. Thanks to all who work hard around the Green, and look forward to next season

## **Income:** 

- **£107 up on 2024 income** 

## **Expenditure:** 

- **Overall expenditure £3584 down on last years expenditure** 

- **Approx. £400 saved on utilities because of new electricity contract** 

- **Approx £3,100 saved on Green Maintenance** 

- **Matchday catering expense up by approx. £25 on 2024** 

- **Club Shirts have been the main cost by a long way because the bank statement shows explicitly how much money (£1092) has been paid to Macron….what isn’t reflected quite as easily is the money that has been paid in towards the cost of those shirts……For instance the money from our sponsor ‘Wealthcare’ was paid directly into our account, is shown as income under ‘Sponsorship’ and ultimately amounts to about 60% of the cost, then members have contributed £220 themselves….so although the cost appears massive, the actual cost to the club reverts back to being the cost of additional and spare shirts we have purchased.** 

## **Commitments:** 

- **Additional income will come from the Co-op grant fund, at least £500 but more likely to be in the region of £1000** 

- **Grant ends on 18.10 > still awaiting confirmed amount** 

- **Outgoings are listed as £2020 (estimate) for green work, but the actual invoice is now in and was £1969** 

- **Flowers for AH and WH will come out of the account and will show in next years accounts.** 

- **Closing Bank Balance quoted on your sheets as £2840.46 will actually be £2945.96** 



- **This contrasts with last years closing balance of £2616.87** 

- **We overspent by £1866 last year, we’re in profit this year by a minimum of £300 after paying everything.** 

- **We kept matchday costs & membership fees the same** 

- **BUT…it is vital for us to have sponsorship and ideally grant funding otherwise these costs go up.**
