Treasurer’s Report for the 2023 Annual Accounts
The 2023 Annual accounts show that the Club subscriptions provide just under half our income, down by 7% from 2022. Range hire, from the Target Shooting School, is another important source of income for the Club. Training courses which include the Junior Summer School organised jointly with the Target Shooting School contributed 10% of the income. Sessions for the Dyscover group, run by Mark Frampton, also generated around £540 – this money goes into the Disability Fund and is shown in the Restricted funds column. Ammunition sales have also increased by 3% from last year but this is probably due to price increases caused by the current Ukraine situation. Bank interest was actually enough to contribute 3% and other income consists of sundry sales, visitor fees, scrap metal recycling and the like. The lottery fund continues to make a small but significant 6% of income.

Other expenditure includes marketing, financial fees, stationery, social events etc.
Expenditure has increased slightly by around £1,200 as ammunition costs more and the capital expenditure includes the deposit of £3,349 for the solar panels. Maintenance costs are over £4,000 less than the previous year. The long-term loan repayments still make up 20% of outgoings and the good news is that the final payments are due in 2025.
To summarise, the end of year figures show income of £40,570 with expenditure of £34,247. This gives us net receipts of £6,323 with cash funds of £75,458.
Future Investments
The Club was fortunate that we took out a 3-year electricity contract in August 2021 prior to the prices increasing – this expires this year. The Committee decided that installing in solar panels would be a good investment and shield us from any future price rises. Based on our current electricity use, which is just over 10,000kw a year, we are paying £1,771 a year which will cost us £2,884 based on the new contract prices - £1,113 more pa. Using these figures (without any increases in prices) and deducting the amounts that the solar panels will generate plus the amount stored in the batteries, the absolute worst-case scenario is payback between 13-14 years. The estimated cost savings from UK Solar Panels is around two thirds of annual bills is a 10 year break even payback (without any price increases). The solar panels and batteries are guaranteed for 25 years. However, it is likely that prices will increase over this time period meaning that payback will be sooner. Furthermore, it makes it easier to install more electrical equipment such as low wattage heaters in the clubhouse and air range to keep the ambient temperature a little higher. And we’re doing our bit for the environment. The one thing we didn’t anticipate was the complex planning process which has caused some delays but hopefully, the installation should happen by the end of the year.
