Gloucestershire Beekeepers Association Treasurer’s Report 2024-25
As you can see from the Accounts, we had a deficit of £308.68 in the financial year. This is actually quite an acceptable result as we had 2 exceptional spends in the year
We were donated a piece of land by a member for the sole use of beekeeping. We spent just over £1,500 on legal fees getting the ownership of the land transferred to GBKA. The land is now being manged by the Cheltenham and Gloucester branch.
We donated £2,000 towards a project refining methods for the monitoring and control of Tropilaelaps. This is clearly an important topic and the researcher, Maggie Gill, will use the funding to visit Georgia where Tropilaelaps is present. Maggie has agreed to give us a talk on the progress of her research.
We finish the year with just under £25.000 in the current and savings accounts, so we are in a strong financial position.
Can I again thank Cherry and Lester for their support and advice
David Miller, Treasurer
