Income
Membership fees were increased at last years AGM and it was agreed at the Management Committee meeting in June that members workshop fees should also increase to £65 per annum or £25 per term.
Student numbers were once again increased to 10 per class now that we have a much larger space. Student Subs were also increased to £200 per term from the September term
The increases were kept as low as possible and were to cover the new costs we incur at the Kennaway Centre.
Expenditure
The move from Meeting Street and subsequent closing for a period of time of the pottery were our biggest expenses last year. DCC shared the cost of the move and we have also managed to agree a mutually beneficial lease.
The rent we have paid to date is for the first 5 months and we now have submeters for the kilns so that they can allocate the electricity costs accurately.
The kilns continue to be serviced on an annual basis.
The cost of all materials has also increased over the past year and it is important that Members pay for their clay and firing as we made a substantial loss on this of £777. Thank you to the members that always pay
Tools
The total for the tools includes the cost of the fridge, laptop and lanyards/card holders
Misc.
The main cost showing is for Direct Removals for the move to Kennaway
