NEWBURY NOMADS TrEASURER>S REPORT FOR YEAR TO 281h FEBRUARY, 2025. BALANCE SHEEr This shows our closing bank balance of £43.093.19, with our Net Asset figure of £45.191.19. GENERAL INCOME & EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT The Opening Balance of £40.021.94 is the cash we had on I" March 2024. Subscriptions have held up reasonably well. although Members. subs are down on last year when Shrek was so wpular. Gifi Aid has inCre￿d from last yebr owing to the increased membership numbers, and Good Exch&nge donations. Interest received is still strong. Thanks are due to Grace for organising carol singing and to those who turned up and sang. We now benefit from those who participate in the West Berks Lottery and nominate Nomads. The profit on Cabard 2024 in the financial year is £1,7(Xl.J 5, being the fin￿ profit of £1,770.15 less £70 received in the previous financial year. Similarly, £3,607 was paid out on The Addams family in the previous financial ycar. The actual loss was £2,408.60, meaning thai the 'fvofil" shown in these accounts is £1,198.40. On the Expenditure side, advance payments on Sisler Acl amounted to £2,098. These were for deposits on royalties, costumes and scenery. The Committee Insurance relates to the p)licy covering Trustees against any legal claims. The annual NODA subscription is based on annual tickd sales. Adobe and Email renewals ate standard yearly payments relating to our systems. The £20 Lottery Lic¢￿e fee is payable to West Beths Council and perniits Nomads to run raffles. Sundries covers payments for storage iM)xes. the auditor's honorari￿ the cost of the hall for the General Meeting, copi¢s of projected shows and flowers.

Commissions are the totsl payable throughout the year from automated collections of ticket sales, show levies. subscriptions and alcohol sales. The Closing Balance of £43.093.)9 also appears in the Balance SheeL SHOW AccouKr Ticket sales amounted to £27.552. 1463 tickets sold at an average price of £18.83. Greenham Trust donated £3,000, for which we are very grateful, and thcy matched funding for all other donations. This meant we could put through the profit on Cabaret 2024, programrn¢ and raffle sales. and any other individual donations. Thanks lo Grace for her work on the Good Exchange platforn]. Audition Fees and Levies raised a very useful figure. The PTogTamme profit was helped by £750 income from advertisements. Raffle profit w&s a little disappointing- more prizes and a better tsble location would have helped. The Coffee Morning was very p)pular. Thanks go to Eling Estates for their 8enerous £500 donation. The Corn Exchange's core cost was £6,642 + V AT. Box Office commission also attracted VAT, as did various other sundry costs. Musical Costs include £4.760 for the orchestra plus Costs for the Musical Director and Rehearsal Pianist. Royalties were b￿d on 150/0 of total ticket sales with a minimum of £81 O p¢r perforn)ance, plus VAT. Rehearsal materials were also extr& The set was not excessively expe￿1ve. and neither were costumes nor rehearsal costs. Lighting included the usual cost of the lighting designer. Sound was the charge for radio mics. Props, libslscores. publicity and T-shirts were all nm-of-the-mill expenses. Make-up w&8 only £251.25 - contrast this with the Shrek cost of over £1.90011 Insurdnce w&8 the usual annual premiunL plus extra to cover seL costumes and lighting equipment.

SUMMARY The loss of £2,408.60 on The Addams Family is quite acceptable. given that the total cost was just over £40,000. The costs of putting on productioDS is rising gradually and we must now look at productions costing nearer £40,000. Our Net Current Assets show a rise of 3.70/0 and this, yet again, puts us in a very healthy position for the next production. tEt's hope that Sister A¢t will prove to be a financial SUCC￿8, but it requires great effort from all concerned in the show, selling tickets and other fund-raising. Agai￿ thanks are due to everyone who COTrtributed towards making this another successful year forNomads. 4" April, 2025.
