The reserve policy of the charity is to hold sufficient funds to ensure the organisation could continue, should it, for two years running, have to cancel annual shows ‘on the day’ due to unforeseen circumstances. It is estimated that the cost of doing so would be in excess of £10,000, and hence the Charity is comfortably holding reserves of £21,320 The Trustees’ Report was approved and authorised for issue by the Trustees and signed on their behalf by: ## **MR L KENNEDY – CHAIRPERSON** ## **MISS V BATY – SECRETARY** ## **MR L D MITCHINSON - TREASURER** DATE: 19[th] January 2026 3 GILSLAND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY – CHARITY NUMBER: 1195959 ## **ACCOUNTS** ## **RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2025** |**RECEIPTS**
