## **LISKEARD & DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION CHARITY NUMBER 1170999 Trustees Report for the Year Ending 30th September 2024** 

Once again due to the perfect weather on the day of the show we experienced the largest crowd that the show has had. This is the third year in a row, since the Covid pandemic that the attendance on show day has increased. This helped to further increase the balance on the show’s finances. 

Total income for the year was £140,937 which was an increase of around £22,000 or 18% on 2023. Of the total income, over £76,000 was through gate receipts. This is clearly over half of our income for the year and is very much dependent upon the weather on the day. Income from tradestands and agricultural entries was just under £36,000. 

Expenditure for the year was £115,862 which was also an increase of around £22,000 or 23% on 2023. This again reflects higher costs due to inflation and general price increases for supplies that are being felt nationwide. The largest area of expenditure related to showground expenses including, marquee hire, toilet hire and equipment hire (tables and chairs) at £56,432 in total. 

The Association also made donations totalling £3,150 to agricultural related organisations and other groups that help to support the Association in the lead up to the show and on show day itself. 

Overall, this resulted in a surplus for the year of £25,074 leading to a very healthy reserves balance at 30 September 2024 of £171,680. 

We have been very fortunate in recent years to have been blessed with fabulous weather but are always mindful that we will inevitably be hit with a ‘wet show’ one year which will have an adverse effect on the Association’s finances. 

The 2025 show is due to take place on 12[th] July and we look forward to another bumper crowd and a great event in the local calendar again.
