FOR TH
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Review of actlvities
As can be se¢n in the accounts. the year 2024 delivered a healthy finan¢ial su]plus which reflects the museums success in
attracting an increasing number of visitors. Visitor numbers in the year were up by some 13 0/6 veTSUS 2023, a tribute to
th¢ hard work of all volunte¢r$ involved in delivering a positive visitor experience.
The continuing su¢¢¢ss of a reinvigorated and ¢onslSt¢nt catering offer has be¢n a major step toward the overall success
of the mlls¢um throughout the year. Visitors rightly expect catering servic¢s at venues such as the mu5¢um and the
revenu¢ ihat a¢¢rues from this activity is an essential element in our success.
Significant additions to the colle¢tion in the year included the Howard Special, with Dymchurch built fibreglass body and
the Mk7 Mini Cooper. Motorcycle additions included th¢ Douglas Dragonf]y, a 1931 Sunbeam, a 1924 OEC Bla¢kbume
a Matchless G3 and a rather splendid 1959 Triumph Bonneville. A raTe Norman Cargo bike was added to the 'Norman'
collection and a stearn powered model of SS Anglia joined the ever growing collection of maritime exhibits. A wide
range of other artefacis continue to be offered by the public and businesses as donations or loan items. Availabl¢
exhibition and storage space rernains a significant influencing factor when considering additional items for the collection.
The now traditional ¢v¢nts progTamme was staged at the museum including Driv¢ it Day, the Classic Car Show, the
Model Weekend and the Classic Motorcycle Show. This programtne was complemented with a number of single tnarque
days including the Triumph Day, which were run alongside nornal open days on a Sunday. This proved to be success￿]
in attracting both exhibitors and visitors.
External events attended during the year included The Heritage Show at Detling, East Kent Ploughing Match, Lord of
Lydden, Heritage Sprint. River Fete and the Old Timers Rally. Folkestone. Each of these offered opportunity to Taise
awar¢ness of the museum and to raise funds through the selling of raffle tickets.
For the se¢ond year running the museum was able to run a Pop Up Shop, in St James,, Dover during th¢ period running
up lo Christmas. This was a successfitl retail venture for surplu5 museum bric a brac etr. as well as a positive awareness
raising exercise for the museum.
The total recorded number of visitors to the museum in the year was 10,262.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
. Going eoncer
Reserves at year end were sufficient for the Trustees to have a reasonable expectatitsn that the Charity would continue in
operational existence for th¢ foreseeable ￿ture. For this reason. they continue to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the
accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
Th¢ museum estste is large end ¢onsists of old militsry buildings for which the provision of Maintenance funds is a
constant challenge but owning the freehold of the property enables us to be Confident in the securiry of our Continuing
investment in the infrastructure. However, notwithstanding thi5 advantageous position th¢ Tru5t¢es consider that
maintaining a proportion of income to reserve$ Is essential for prudent financial management and have agreed to
strengthen the reserves policy introduced for prior years. The finan¢ial position is reviewed by the Governing Committee
on a regular basis and fund5 are Committed to reserv¢5 in line with this policy.
