Trea5urerfs report
An amaiing year from utter depression 12 months ago with negotiations with the Ottery
Football Club going nowhere. to a fairy 8odfather appearing from nowhere.
We took formal possession of our new home in Hind Street at the beginning of December and
many volunteer members set to adaption work with much gusto.
Bit like moving to 3 new house and we have just about emptied the last box onto storage
shelves. containers and shadow boards. A new woodworking bench that is wheel chair
accessible arrived last week which will now allow final decision on the layout of the main
workshop.
New machinery that has been added this year includes a planer/thicknesser. Also a large belt
sander and a morticing machine.
In spite of still retaining Covid precautions we have substantially increased our membership with
a high level of interest in our wood turning facilities.
Government grants have covered the loss of income as a result of Covid lockdown5 and our
current reserves are healthy and we have this year an excess of income over receipts of £3787.30
leaving us with a balance of £6256.08. Figures for 2019 are included for interest and comparison.
The one downside of our new home is lack of car parking facilities. Your committee decided that
parking charges should not be a deterrentto membership and a permit arrangement for the
Land of Canaan car park has been negotiated wtth East Devon District Council. For those
members unable to walk from that car park an inforrnal arrangement has been made with
Sainsburys for blue badge holders. (The normal maximum time in that car park is 2 hours)
Fund raising has been limited to a community grant from the OtteryTown Council. In view of our
good fortune in gaining a ten3ncy at Hind Street it was felt that it would be inappropriate to
continue with our crowd funding project and any other National Lottery applications.
l am happyto report that subscription and session charges will be unaltered.
