Our prevlous three-year energy contract ended on 30th September 2022 and desplte numerous alternative quotes belng sourced by all Trustees, the best and lowest prlted optSon agreed was a two-year. contracted price of nearly fNe times that of our previous contract. Thls equated to the Foundation having to flnd an extra £95,(XK) {mlnSmuml per annum. Based on the previous yearfs fi8ures forlncome and expendlture, a draft 8ud8et forecast was drawn up to cover the two-year. contracted energy perlod. The Trustees determlned that there was no way we could fund the additional £95k+ energy hlke and that we would have to rely on dlpplng into our resep4es. However, the Rlnks carpet wlll need replacing In the next few years lapproxlmately £60k), which is essential to the contlnued exlstence of the Sully Bowls Foundation. So. It was agreed that we would need to raise additional income to top up our reserves and help reduce the amount of money, required every month, from our reserve fund5. The Trustees agreed to Increase the membership fee In Ortober 2022 and Increase the rlnk fees from January 2023. The Trustee5 also agreed to run a campaign for new l)owllng members and also for new Social Members. which proved to be very successful. In addition, the Foundatlon organised various entertainment events every month, Arena advertlslng and enhanced food options including Sunday Lunches. During the year I" January 2023 to 31 December 2023. the budgeted forecast desplte greatly increased income and expenditure figures, showed the 'bottom line, forecast to be very accurate. Whilst we had to rety on the support from our reserves for the period January to August 2023, the int]ux of new and renewable registration fees during September and October 2023 helped top up our reserves in readiness for the coming year. In October 2023, the Trustees sourced quotes for a new energy contract to take effect from October 2024. and after a week of comparative quotes and cost checkin& agreed a contract
which would reduce our energy costs by nearly two-third5 from Ottober 2024. The Trustees will continue to implement any and all agreed artions to keep the Sully Bowls Foundation viable.

The remaining smaller items of expenditure related to motor expenses. insurance premiums, professional fees, IT support. cleaning and waste disposal. etc. The net result for the period was an exces5 of receipts over payments of £5.321 Reserves policy Our policy is to maintain a balance on nStrIcted funds at least equal to six months nticipated expenditure. which amounts opproximately to £30,IXIO. £2000 is retained to fund ad hoc projects relating to the furtherance of the charit¢s objects. The reserve balance of £ 103,919 is retained towards meeting the cost of repairs and emergency situatlons as and when they occur, and tosupplement anyproposed losses made duringthe summer months. The principal risk 8oin8 forward is again, the poor condition of the stadium roof and surrounding claddin& which has been deteriorating for at least five years. Repairs were due to take place in 2023, but ultimately* a new roof with enhanced Insulatlon is required within the next three years. While responsibility for roof and cladding repairs $t5 with the landlords, incoming rainwater threatens the ongoingcondition of the bowls carpet. which would have to be replaced at significant cost to the charity.
