1. The Repairs and Maintenance figure does not include some items which are noted separately under sundries, though some do appear there (see below). In future all regular items will be included under this heading and once-off costs will be shown separately.

2. The Hiring Fees continue to be larger than normal due to a major effort to reduce the backlog of fees, although hirings have been good.

In connection with my examination of these accounts, no matter has come to my attention:

1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

2. To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the Act; and

3. To prepare accounts which accord with accounting records and to comply with the accounting

4. requirements of the Act

Have not been met; or

1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Treasurer’s Report Brent Knoll Parish Hall

2024 has been another year when we have been catching up on the backlog of outstanding hiring fees, although our revenues are slightly down on the previous year. The good news is that the hiring fees have totally covered all of our 2024 basic expenses, although no major costs were incurred during this year, unlike 2023. This does mean, however, that we must think about the level of our hiring fees shortly, as an enormous amount of the backlog has now been sorted out and will be recuperated entirely within 2025.

Our fund raising efforts during 2024 are down on the previous year, though the 100 Club is still doing well and the Bazaars, though down a little, are still our best fundraiser by far. Other events have been impacted by the increased costs of hiring bands, for instance, and a significant increase in other organisations competing for funds. Nevertheless, due to the lower costs incurred this year our bank balances are much healthier than a year ago, having risen by over eleven thousand pounds, and I have no immediate concerns regarding our viability. In fact, we are in a very stable financial situation currently and retain a healthy backup for any unexpected incidents, property improvements and potential problems with fund-raising as, for instance, during the recent Covid pandemic.

So, overall it has been another successful year financially. My grateful thanks to John Harris for his donation regarding the Wassail and to all those who donate their 100 Club winnings. Plus, of course, to all of our committee who have helped to make this year another great successful. John Page, Hon. Treasurer
