Financial Review The year ended 31 March 2025 saw an increase in the Club's funds of £10,100 due largely to the successful exhibition hekl in October 2024 and the claiming of Gift Aid on membership donations. Although on the face of it this is a good result. the club must continue to be vigilant in the conduct of its finan￿S. The good exhibrtion result in 2024 only mitigates the poor exhibition result seen in October 2022. The club faces challenges in maintaining the Harbour View premises and there will be costs to faced in the current financial year. In the past it has been drfficult to compare the club's finan￿S from one year to the next due to the timing of income and expenditure relating to the annual exhibition. Amounts for income and expendrture were seen in previous financial years which related to the forthcoming year's exhibitions and thus gave a misleading picture. In the year to 31 March 2025 both income and expenditure items have been seen which relate to the October 2025 exhibition. These amounts have been treated as accruals and are not shown in the income and expenditure totals for the year. They appear in the Balance sheet as accounts payable and account receivable as at 31 March 2025 and will be transferred to income and expenditure in April 2025. On the 1 April 2024 Fund Accounting software was introduced which enables better tracking and monitoring of the Clubs finances. This enabled the creation of funds in which the dub's cash resources are allocated. The Club now operates the following unrestricted and designated funds: General Fund- for day to day expenditure. Key Deposit Fund- to account for the key deposits received from members. Rent Provision Fund - the accumulated rent due to Fareham Borough Council. Exhibition Fund - for income and expenditure relating to the annual exhibition. Layout Fund- for monitoring expenditure on club layouts. Reserve fund ~ kept in reserve to pay for major repairs. Transfers can be made between funds as required to ensure monies are available when and where needed. More information on the Club's funds and their movements are detailed in the Fund Movement Summary on page 5. Colin Skinner Treasurer Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustees of Fareham & District Model Railway Club CIO Reglstered Charity Number 1188533 I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out in pages 1 to 10. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 14412) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to Examine the accounts under sedion 145 of the 2011 Act: To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5}(b) of the 2011 Act, and To state whether particular matters have come to my attenb'on. Basis of independent examinerfs report My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual iiems or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustee for any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view and the report is limited lo those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examinerfs statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordan￿ with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and to prepare accounts that accord viith the accounting records and to compty with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met. or to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

and 1.19|During the period covered by this report, the Club
continued its exhibition programme. Our annual
exhibition, RailEx, was successfully delivered and
showcased the work of our own members
alongside layouts from clubs across the country.
The event was held at a local leisure centre and
attracted over 1,500 visitors across the two-day
exhibition.
Later in the year, we also presented our own
layouts to the local communities of Fareham and| |||Portchester at a local parish hall. This event
continues to build a strong reputation as an
opportunity for the Club to display its work within
the local community. It also encouraged greater
public engagement, resulting in several enquiries
and new members joining the Club to learn more
about the hobby.
In addition, the development of our digital tools,
including social media and our website, has
signifcantly improved our reach. Through
articles, blog posts, and online resources o�ering
advice and guidance, we have been able to
support both our members and the wider public.

ways. During major events, such as the RailEx exhibition, a
core group of members dedicated signifcant time and
e�ort to advertising, planning, organisation, and delivery.
This included the continued development andprovision of| IT support during the event, enabling improved access for a wider public audience. Volunteers have also worked to increase public accessibility by expanding the use of social media and enabling online ticket purchases. This has allowed people who may not otherwise have been aware of, or able to attend, the exhibition to participate. The continued use of advance online ticket sales and card payment facilities has demonstrated a positive impact, and the charity intends to explore further opportunities to enhance accessibility for the public in future years. In addition, volunteers are developing software tools to support both the charity and those exhibiting at our events. These tools assist in managing large volumes of data more securely and e�iciently, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall operational e�ectiveness.

benefts to society as a whole.|Para 1.20|During the year, the charity continued to
develop and expand its annual RailEx
exhibition, building on recovery from the
challenges experienced in previous years. The
increased scale of the event contributed to a
further 5% rise in visitor numbers compared
with the previous year, equating to around 175
additional attendees. This provided a wider
audience with the opportunity to experience
model railways, many of whom may not
otherwise have had access to such an event.
In line with the charity’s aims, particular
emphasis was placed on attracting a younger
audience and encouraging interest in the
hobby.
Members also benefted from further
opportunities to develop and improve the
Club’s layouts, which are exhibited at events
across the country. Lookingahead,plans are| to create additional layouts in areas with limited representation, particularly in modern and contemporary themes. An increased focus on modern image layouts and digital control systems has helped to attract members from a younger age group than the Club’s previous average. In response to this trend, the Management Committee is still actively exploring introducing a junior membership category for those under the age of 18. or perhaps the possibilities of workshops for younger people to get involved in. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements

|During the year, the charity further expanded its annual RailEx
exhibition, continuing to rebuild following the challenges
experienced in previous years. This resulted in an
approximately 5% increase in visitor numbers compared with
the previous year and generated an improved fnancial
surplus. The additional surplus will be reinvested in the charity
to support the creation and development of the layout.
The exhibition's growth enabled more visitors to experience
model railways and encouraged greater engagement with the
hobby, including its recognised benefts for personal well-
being. In line with the charity’s aims, particular attention was
given to attracting a younger audience and encouraging new
participation.

financial position at achieved an increased surplus. This reflects the continued
the end of the period e�orts of the Management Committee to stabilise and
