– ’ Wootton Park Association AGM Treasurer s Report 2025
Wootton Park Finances. We opened the years accounts with £1781.06 in the account and we end it with £5135.99. We received a grant from the Borough Council for the drainage at the Park for £7750.00. A grant for the refurbishment of the Pavilion for £100,611.50, (this comes through in staged payments as and when Invoices are received) of which most of the work has been completed and bills paid. We received two grants from the Borough Councillor Community Grant, one towards the purchase of shingle for the Car Park of £578.00, and £600.00 for the Tree Carving. We also received a grant from the Lottery, thanks to our Chairman, to help pay for the costs of the Picnic on the park, this was for £2400.00. A big thank you to the Borough Council and Borough Councillors for all this money.
As mentioned, the refurbishment of the Pavilion is nearly complete. Most items such as the Alarm system and the Electrics will be new, so we will need to schedule the checks in again for next year. PAT Testing of the electrical items will also need to be scheduled in for next year.
With regards to the Wootton Park Running costs (paid for both North and South Wootton Parish Councils), this year we came in over budget with a total spend of £23,253.49 against a budget of £15,880.00. This came down to a few things, the emptying of the Dog Bins, over Budget, due to and overpayment, a payment rolled over from last year, but mainly due to the huge increase in the costs paid to the Borough Council. Fees now have to be paid upfront as opposed to in arrears. Material/Repairs, this also came in over budget but again is a few things, W Moorfoot ditch drainage £3341.67, W Moorfoot Car Park £1360.00, A Foreman installation of Memorial Bench £460.00 and the Wildflower Seed at £184.00. Most of these items had not been budgeted for. Grass Cutting – Slightly over budget but this does include the flailing. Tree Surgery, this mainly is due to the works that were necessary from the Tree Survey Report.
The Wootton Park 200 Club has 126 members, although a few of these are new members and I am waiting for the Standing Orders to come through. We started the year with £3270.10 in the account, and we end the year with £4383.43. First prize winners receive £40 with four other prizes of £20.
The Wootton Park Association is thankful for the continuing support of North and South Wootton Parish Councils and the Woottons Football Club.
The Accounts have all now been inspected by the Internal Auditor and a report has been given to the Chairman.
