## **Treasurer’s Report for the 2024 Annual Accounts** The 2024 Annual accounts show a marked decrease in the surplus of income over expenditure at £2,252 compared to £6,323 the previous year. Subscriptions provide just under half our income, the same 48% as in 2023. Range hire, mainly from the Target Shooting School and sales of ammunition, are other important source of income for the Club. Training courses which was just the Junior Summer School (organised jointly with the Target Shooting School contributed) 7% of the income, down from 10% in 2023. Sessions for the Dyscover group also generated £490 – this money goes into the Disability Fund and is shown in the Restricted funds column. Ammunition sales remain about the same. Bank interest was up at 4% and other income consists of sundry sales, visitor fees, scrap metal recycling, donations. The lottery fund continues to make a small but significant 6% of income. **----- Start of picture text -----**

Subscriptions are shown for the accounting year but in reality, members start paying their fees around the beginning December for the following year so the second subscriptions graph shows the actual amount for 2024 after an adjustment is made. 1 The situation for 2022 showed a strong recovery after Covid but has decreased since then. Note that we haven’t put up our subscription fees for the last 10 years. **----- Start of picture text -----**

Other expenditure includes marketing, financial fees, stationery, social events etc. Expenditure has increased by around £1,871 (compared to £1,200 in 2023). Ammunition costs are up again, however we have adopted a stockpiling strategy and held £2,135 more ammunition in stock than at the end of 2023. The Affiliation fees are comparatively large as fees for 2023 and 2024 for the NSRA and SSCBRA were both paid in 2024. Maintenance 2 costs are more than double for the previous year mainly due to electrical upgrade and repair work, repairs to the firing points and the replacement of the HFT range roof. The long-term loan repayments make up 17% of outgoings and the good news is that the final payments for 2025 have recently been made so we are now loan free. To summarise, the end of year figures show income of £38,370 with expenditure of £36,118. This gives us net receipts of £2,252 with cash funds of £77,710 in the bank (and includes approx. £50 in the float). ## **Future Investments** The solar panels are still waiting to be fitted as an issue has arisen with our new lease with MVDC concerning an additional charge for use of the bridge. We have asked for clarification from MVDC and are still awaiting a response. The permission to install the solar panels is written into the lease and we can’t proceed with this until the lease is signed. The Club will continue to invest to maintain and improve the facilities on behalf of its members. For example, Tony is in discussions with the NSRA and Sight for Surrey regarding the provision of shooting training and equipment for visually impaired shooters and we are having a survey carried out of the Air Range as there is a mould problem due to damp and we need professional advice on what we can do to mitigate this. 3 8ookham Rlllè Club 217311 Receipts and payments accounts CC16a Forth¢ pedod from To 0110112024 3111212024 Section A Receipts and payments Unrestricted funds to thÈ nBarfj8t £ Restricted funds Endowment funds to the r*ar•Gt £ Total funds Last yoar tothe nBar*st £ to thB rnarg$1 £ Af Recel ts AmrwnilK)n Sales 5.741 4741 5.716 Com elli￿n fees 7QO 700 858 Donat￿n$ Ind.
