TREASURER'S REPORT Thankyou to Bridget Merchantforexaminin8the accounts again this year. The first page of accounts shovts the Concert Account with a breakdown for each of our four concerts, together with the GeneralAccountwhich shovrfs the income and expenditure forthe year. The column on the right provides a comparison to 2021122. The second page is the Balance Sheet which provides information about the Orchestra's bank accounts and reserves. Concert Account Each concert shows a loss with the October and May concerts beingthe most significant. Ticket sales forthe December concert were exceltent. however. we still made a small loss. This was in part because we had given tickets to the Orpheus charity and professional fees were higher forthis concert. Ticket Sales for the October and May concerts were disappointing with March being marginally higher. Professionalfees are simiiarto lastye8r and soloist fees have increased. The March concert soloist, Manu Br8zo. was funded from the Gwen Tomlinson Fund which is used to supportyoung pertormers. The cost of hiringthe Playhouse has increased, as expected. Thanks to Darrell, music hire costs were very lowforthe year8nd. thanks to Simon. there were no printing costs for posters and leaflets forthe season. Although the deficit for allfourconcerts wa8 £4,587, this was le33 than last year which was £6,137. General Account Playing member subscriptions returned to the pre-covid amount of £110 if paid before the AGM and £120 afterwards. The 100 Clubwas successfully r8inst8ted forthe se88on and generated £410. Bank interest increased. Gift Aid also increased due to the higher subscriptions compared to 2021122. The Garden Party at Norman and Brenda's house at the end of the season generated over £200. However, Self Help and Donations were reduced as we had previously been Fjven donations from a member and friends who have sadly passed away. The Donated Asset which is shown within the general account receipts are the violin and bows thatwereverygenerously leftto us byshirtey 8reden who sadly passed away atthe beginning ofthe year. We are hoping to sellthese at some time and the valuation is our best estimate of the net realisable value on future sale. General account costs are similar to last year. Rehearsal fees and the hire of the school hall continue to be the largest general account cost and have increased.
From this year. the portion of the leader's fee for hearsalS is now shown in the General Account rather than the concert account. The cost of hiringthe school for rehearsals has also increased. Balance sheet The balance sheet shows the Orchestra'8 bank accounts, the allocated funds and reserves which now total £34.739. With the donated assets included, the Orchestra's total assets are £40,739. Jill Harris HonoraryTreasurer
