The accounts have been presented from April 2024 to March 2025 in line with the financial tax year. The accounts are audited externally by a professional accountant (Glover of Epworth) before being submitted. ## **Summary** Total Income from activity this year is £97076 plus interest from savings this totals £98074 against expenditure of £94123. The club made a net gain of **£3951** in 24-25 **.** Subs represent only 47% of all income. If fund raising did not take place the Colts would need to double the cost of subs to **£360 per player** to meet expenditure. Income and expenditure were slightly down on the previous year linked to kit sponsorships on a 2-year deal - this is directly linked to spending, therefore no net gain. Also, less money has been spent of the development of carrside. Overall Subs and fundraising show a good operational strength of the club’s finances. Wages for paid employees of the colts continue to rise as the Colts operation increases. All employees are self-employed and log their income and taxes with HMRC. The pavilion is covered through subs raised 2 years ago so these will need to be reviewed at the AGM. Pavilion wages have been logged under the budget heading, coaches expenses this year and will be changed to refreshments going forward to give a more accurate record. The lease for the 3G is expected to rise significantly over the next 12 months to meet the long overdue rises from energy costs and inflation. Cost increases had been supressed due to surpluses in the IETET accounts, however this is no longer the case. ## **Headline Figures** Bank Balance = £26524 Savings = £52132 ## **Income** **----- Start of picture text -----**
