Treasurer’s Report for the 2022 Annual Accounts

The 2022 Annual accounts show that the Club has returned to normal, with subscriptions making up just over half our income. Range hire, from the Target Shooting School, is another important source of income for the Club. The Junior Summer School, organised jointly with the Target Shooting School was again successful and generated around £1,000 income after deduction of running expenses, the profit being shared 50/50 between both organisations. Sessions for the Dyscover group, run by Mark Frampton, also generated around £1,000 – this money goes into the Disability Fund and is shown in the Restricted funds column. Ammunition sales have also increased by 37% from 2021. Other income consists of sundry sales, bank interest, visitor fees, scrap metal recycling and the like.

The next graph shows the actual subscriptions paid, i.e. by the year to which the subscriptions apply rather than when they were paid. The situation for 2022 is really strong with an increase of nearly £8,000, an increase of 31%.

Other expenditure includes marketing, stationery purchases, social events, Home Office licence renewal etc.

Expenditure is down on 2022 by around 14%, mainly due to the fact that the final payments for the short term loans were made in 2021 leaving just the long term loans (£17,700) which are being repaid over the next 5 years. Overall, this reduces our loan liabilities from 28% to 18%.

Maintenance and repairs are the largest expense and include the annual defibrillator fee along with the alarm, extensive repairs to the ranges and firing points, upgrading of the electrics (all LED lighting etc.) and various other items for the kitchen and general running of the club.

The training course expense mainly covers the 50% share due to the Target Shooting School plus travel expenses for a Scorer’s course.

To summarise, the end of year figures show income of £45,045 with expenditure of £38,935 (which include the repayment of the £5,459 erroneous payment). This gives us net receipts of £6,092 with cash funds of £56,270. Note that income in the previous year also included a donation of £13,976 and a grant of £16,955. At the end of 2022, the Club is in a strong financial position and well placed to invest for the future.

BOOKHAM RIFLE CLUB

SECRETARY’S REPORT

2023 AGM

Membership	2023 112 full members 18 life members 32probationary members 162 Includes 28 juniors	2022 137 18 29 174

Membership is down from 2022 levels but we continue to get plenty of enquires from prospective new members, both from media advertising and from the various open days and junior summer course.

The Covid pandemic and subsequent lockdowns meant that some members have been slow to come back to the Club and this trend has been noticed in many other clubs.

Development of the Club facilities continues with updates to the Club security and the new CCTV system which we can monitor remotely. We also held a couple of our usual work weekends for general maintenance.

The series of Monday afternoon shoots for the people from the Dyscover Group has resumed with an enthusiastic group of people coming each week to shoot on the air range.

We will also be resuming our junior summer course in a couple of weeks

The trophy presentation this year is for competitions which were shot for during 2022 and a number have commented that this is too far removed from the date of the competitions so that people who win don’t remember what the trophy is for. The Committee has decided that this will be that last presentation at the AGM, in future the trophies will be presented at the Wappenshaw fun shoot which is held on the first Sunday after New Years Day. This means that the trophies will be much more up to date.

I reported at last years AGM that the shooting community was facing a ban on the use of lead in ammunition. It would seem that target shooting is now going to be exempt from the ban providing the lead is contained and can be recovered safely. Also the proposed combining of shotguns onto firearm certificates has also be stopped.

Police firearms licensing departments have come in for a lot of criticism for poor training of FEOs and this was what led to the person involved in the shootings in Plymouth being given his guns back and there is a review being carried out which will recommend a lot more and better training for staff. However there is also a move to recover the full cost of administering the grant and renewal of firearm and shotgun certificates, which could result in certificates costing between £250 and £500.

Firearm certificate renewals and grants are still taking a long time and six months is not unusual. It is very important to start your renewal as early as possible and give the Police an absolute minimum of two months and preferably longer before your expiry date in order to avoid having to put your guns into storage.

The Club continues to have a good reputation in the County and we have hosted a number of County and National competitons here.
