Dursng the y¢ar the draw was ¢19sed. and all tained moni¢5 were distributed to the various sporting clubs associated with the Associatioil. 3.3 Summary of Income 8nd Expenditure The c05t of maintaining the sports field and the various other areas for which the maintenance is delegated to the Association aTnount¢d to £14,958 befoT¢ the depreciation charge totalling £9,460. Depr¢ciation being a provision for future capital expenditUTe or replacement of the facilities. Total Income from all source5 was £41,323. For the year totil expenditure exceeded income by £4.767. Althoutsh the Association sufficient resgurces to mee¢ Èts day tts date operations, it 15 highly dependent on the grant from Wem Town Council to cover costs. Any major expenditure will place a strain on the cash flow. Over th¢ last 2 y¢ars reserves have fallen by £14,219. 3.4 Summary and Acknowledgements The a5so¢iatioTh has beeTh able to maintain its faciliti¢s even though total costs have more than exceeded receipts. This has been financed by previou5 yeaTS profits. In the long t¢mi thi5 is not sustainable. The Association has not sought to accumulate ndS for any specific tllre projects and it is collsidered that filnds are adequate to cover any reasonable emergency. The expenditur¢ on the maintenance and improY¢ment of the faciliti¢s is restricted by the ndS available or to put it another way, what members and the Town Council are prepaTed its fmance and by what grant aid is available. Providing that the 11 support and fancIal backittg of Wern Towi Council continues and that any expettditure on the facilities is restricted to the amount of fun(ts available, the overall finAncial position is CODsÈdered sound. 4. Polieies Th¢ policies ar¢ as follows- to ke¢p the standard of th¢ facilities under the eonstallt review and to restrict ¢xpenditure to within the level of funds available (see above) to use fid5 reeeived from the former Social Club's conrributions. to fund extraordtn2ry exp¢nditur¢ on the changing rooms.
