FINANCIAL REVIEW
After a year in 2020/21 when fundraising was hit by the Covid19 pandemic and expenditure exceeded income, we recovered some of our funds this year.
Income;
Thanks to the Secretary Alan Canvess sending out membership reminders, we increased our membership income to £303. We particularly appreciate members who pay their membership by standing order or regular bank transfers, as it saves us having to send out reminders and assures us of some regular income.
Many members take the opportunity to add a donation to their membership fee, and some members make generous regular donations. We also receive small donations at events. We are grateful for the total of £425 received in donations.

2021-22 was a year of uncertainty when it came to fundraising. Our annual vegetarian 'Wartime' meal at Hitchcocks in October 2021 attracted the most attendees ever at 55, and it was clearly something people were eagerly anticipating after it had not been possible the previous year. We were able to make a profit of £289.
On the other hand, our December film show had to be cancelled when an outbreak of a new variant of Covid made people reluctant to mix and risk having to isolate over Christmas.
For our March film show we had arranged to show the 2018 film 'Hurricane' as the main feature. We hoped that this true story of Polish airmen who came here to fly in the Battle of Britain would attract local residents of Polish descent and help us to make links with that community. Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine broke out just as we were publicising the event, and our Polish friends had more serious concerns on their minds. Very few people were of a mind to watch a war film and we sold only 11 tickets. Sales did not cover the usual cost of hiring the theatre; thankfully NAPA only charged us the £66 taken in ticket sales.
We had stalls, selling mainly donated items, at 6 events. As well as fundraising, these are opportunities to tell people about the progress of the National Picture Theatre project. Avenues residents held occasional 'Yard sales' where they sold unwanted items in front of their houses. They were widely publicised on social media and were well attended. We had stalls at two of them making £85 in April and £73 in July. We also had stalls at an open day held by Hull Community Diggers in July [taking £45], a Victorian Day in Pearson Park in August [£81], St Ninians Church Fair in Chanterlands Avenue in December [£55] and St Johns Newland Church Fair in Clough Road in March [£25]. We are grateful to everyone who donated items for sale and the volunteers who helped on the stalls. We are always keen to hear about events where we might have stalls, especially if there are also offers to help.
We also made £20 from the sale of Paul Gibson's books and £100 from selling bags from our stock bought two years ago.
Our illustrated talks and guided walks are mainly intended to be educational rather than fundraising, but organisations often give us a contribution towards funds. We gave two talks in October, one to Cottingham Local History Society in Cottingham Civic Hall , and one to St Ninians Church Ladies' Group. Both were well attended, and we were given a total of £70.
Members are reminded that when you buy on line you can give trigger a small donation at no cost to yourself by signing up to Easy Fundraising or through Amazon. If you pay by Pay Pal you can add a donation through their Giving Fund.
Expenditure:
We had no major outgoings this year. We still need to keep a reserve of £3,500 to contribute to the Heritage Lottery funded project.
Balance :
Increased this year from £3641 to £5138
