One event, a sponsored fun cycle ride, was cancelled because support was withdrawn following the death of Queen Elizabeth. Another cycling event is planned for the coming Lions year. Our biggest fundraising event was the 2022 Beer festival which raised over £12000 pounds. Our catering trailer food sales made profits of £2300. Firework night was on the weekend and with good weather. The firework display is an event provided for the town people to allow a safe and inexpensive way to participate in the tradition and it is not seen as a profit making event. However the high attendance provided a net profit of about £2000. Our Santa’s Sleigh collection raised £2700 (with gift aid). We have worked with Barton Meridian rotary Club and the Friends of the Barton Line in sharing support and staffing of events and activities. We were very grateful to Chris and Ann Hume for organising a successful club charter on Jan 21[st] 2023 following missing 2 balls – a consequence of the impact of the Covid epidemic. ## **– INCOME AND EXPENDITURE YEAR ENDING 30[th] JUNE 2022** Barton upon Humber Lions accounts were audited on 23rd September 2022 by Wrights, Certified Chartered Accountants and are available for viewing on the Charity Commission website. These accounts are for the year July 2021 to June 2022 In December 2022 the club were faced with costs relating to car damage during an event. Payment was made from the Admin account (£2548.51). It was agreed by the trustees to allocate £2600 from advertising revenue to cover this cost. The trustees took advice from the district treasurer regarding this matter and the figure will be covered in next year’s accounts. The Barton Lions are very grateful for donations made by the Town towards our public firework display (£2000) and helping substantially with the costs of the marquee in June 2022 (£2000) in which they hosted their Jubilee celebration event which was followed by the Lions’ Jubilee Tea Party. Tesco have provided donations and grant funding in relation to the schools’ Art Project and a multitude and local businesses gave items and food for the Jubilee Tea Party. Barton Community Band have also given outstanding performances at our Jubilee, Oktoberfest and Beer festival events. Our club is financially sound with the charity account standing at £27,740.20 and Admin at £2,068.89 on 12[th] April 2023. **Donations** In the year 1[st] July 2022 to 10/4/2023 the following donations have been made from our charity funding.
