## **LISKEARD & DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION CHARITY NUMBER 1170999 Trustees Report for the Year Ending 30th September 2025** 

Unfortunately for the first time in a number of years the show was affected by the weather, not by howling winds and storms but by being unbearably hot. Not surprisingly this had an adverse impact on the number of people that attended the show and was the major reason for the association posting a deficit of just over £6,000 for the year. 

Total income for the year was £127,435 which was a reduction of around £13,500 or 9.6% on 2024. Of the total income, just over £56,000 was through gate receipts but this was a reduction of around £20,000 on the previous year. This is the single largest element of our income and is very much dependent upon the weather on the day. Income from tradestands and agricultural entries was just under £38,000. 

Expenditure for the year was £133,530 which was also an increase of around £18,000 or 15.2% on 2024. This again reflects higher costs due to inflation and general price increases for supplies that are being felt nationwide. As always, the largest area of expenditure related to showground expenses including, marquee hire, toilet hire and equipment hire (tables and chairs) at £62,218 in total. 

The Association also made donations totalling £3,100 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. 

So overall there was a movement between the two years of c£31,000 having gone from a £25,000 surplus in 2024 to a £6,000 deficit in 2025. However, the Association still retains a healthy reserve balance at 30 September 2025 of £165,603. 

We had been very fortunate in recent years to have been blessed with excellent weather for the show and whilst we are always wary of the impact of a ‘wet show’ and the effect that would have on the Association’s finances, it would also appear that we need to be mindful of the impact of a very hot show as well. 

The 2026 show is due to take place on 11[th] July and we look forward to a welcoming a large crowd and hosting a great event in the local calendar again.
