year. This puts us in a healthy position going forwards to help cover increasing costs in running the hut which will include creating a new soakaway. Also, next summer the two storage sheds at the back of the hut are in urgent need of replacing which will be a large expense. District capitation fees, which were almost £8k last year, have also been increased for this forthcoming year.
The fact we are able to go ahead with such vital projects without having to worry about the expense of them is down to the amount of fundraising the group has done. Last year, fundraising, and gift aid related to it, accounted for almost £10000 in income. Without fundraising events it would lead to a huge drop in income meaning our reserves will drain away quickly which will inevitably lead to an increase in subs. Without the fundraising, subs would only just about cover expenses.
