TRUSTEES REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDF.D 20 SEvfEMBER 2025
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees and society offi¢ers review the various risks facing the society on an annual basis.
The trustecs note that the society holds reserve5 cquivalent to ovu two ye￿, expendilure and
regard this as a prLEdcnl financial position.
FUTURE PLANS
The TrusleLs are pleased lo report that plans are ongoing for the staging of next year's show, which will bc held
on Saturday 151h August 2026.
This will be the third show at the current site. The lease is for a thr¢e year tertn and the Trustees have asked the
Committee to review options for the 2027 show and beyond.
VAT
Thc Society is not regislcred for VAT. The in¢ome for th¢ year hls excccded to the VAT registrdtion threshold
of £90.000. 'l-h¢ Society considers that the annual show falls with the VA T cxemption for fundraising events
under Group 12 of Schedul¢ 9 to the VA'f Act 1994. A¢¢ordingl)', the gate admissions ore exempt sales for
VAT and the Society has not exceeded the VAT registration threshold.
The S(ciety has reviewed whether a voluntary VAT registration should be made and d¢tern)ined that it is not
beneficial to do so. This will be k¢pl under revicw.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Thc Society's Receipts and Payments Account for the year end¢d 20 September 2025 shows a surplus for the
period of £20,610. C&sh reseNes stixKI at £220,820 at the ycar end.
The 2025 show had an exccllcnt attendance which was reflected in record gate reccipts and conlinucd growth
in trade stands income. There was a tnarginal reduction in costs for the 2025 despite continued inflalionary
ris¢s in costs duc to a redu¢tion in security Costs and lowei maintenance ¢05ts for thc skkow ground.
A third of th¢ surplus for the vear was generated from investment income. The Society continues to monitor it's
investment to Secu￿ the best levcls of returns on a risk adjusted basis.
The show was again aidcd by good iycather ihis year and success of previous shows, however, as costs continue
to Tise and weather events more unpredictsbl¢, it is important that the Society do not become complacenL
