In 1981, a parcel of land was sold for the purpose of building 3 houses. The proceeds of this sale were largely used for the building of the pavilion. The cost of this is shown on the balance sheet at £289,755. A strip of land was sold in 2006 realising £43,943 after deducting the legal costs. Depreciation is charged on the Fixtures and Fittings only at 20% p.a. on the reducing value brought forward. No depreciation is charged in the Account5 for the tennis courts. This reflects the fact that the Tennis Club has a full repairin8 lease. All minor maintenance costs and general running expenditure is written off each year against income.
SINKING FUNDS The Trustees have set up a Sinking Fund towards the cost of renovations to the pavilion and amenities in the future. In addition the Trustees have considered it prudent to set aside each year the c05t of the Investment into the Charishare Investment Trust referred to in Note 6 as an additional Sinking Fund, as apposed to the annual cost of this investment being included in Unrestricted Funds. The Sinking Funds are therefore made up as follows 2025 iio,000 36,200 146,200 2024 iio,000 36,200 146,200 Renovations to the pavilion and amenities Charishare Investment towards major rebuild costs The Trustees consider that there is currently sufficient provision for the pavilion and the amenities. The figure of £36,200 represents the total Investment in the Fund as at the check date.
