Financial Review
The linancial J'ear ending 30th June ?025 resulted in a loss ot £1.258.83. This was due to legal
fees wilh regard to the neiv Lease. This compared to a surplus (profit) last tinancial year ot
£2.059.75. The funds held ai ihe yearend Mere £18.807.69.
Income increased Lompared to the prei'ious year bul unfortunately so did expenditure due to a
large tinal electricity bill when we changed supplier and general increases in all running
expenses.
The new lease allows us to plan for esseniial maintenance and improi'ements to the hall. This
will not only use up a large chunk ot.the tunds held but will require the raising ot" substanlial
further tunds both through our el'lorts and through seeking grant t"unding.
