Notes: 

1. 1st Winchester Group Accounts includes the Osborne Scout Troop, though it is anticipated Osborne will separate out as an independent group/charity in the foreseeable future.  A separate bank account was opened for Osborne in 2021, though some of Osborne's affairs still run through the group account (subscriptions in particular). 

2. Building values straight line depreciated over 25 years (starting at £300 000 as 2015 insured value after rebuild for the scout HQ, and £28 000 from 2017 for the stores building). 

3. Equipment shown at insured value 

4. Cheques we had issued but which had not been presented to our bank at 31 March, and advance payments made. 

5. The group received a grant of £125000 from Hampshire County Council during 2014, conditional on making the scout HQ available for the use of a pre-school during term time week days for twenty five years. The grant agreement has a claw-back provision making the group liable to repay money related to the value of the grant and the value of the building if it does not make the building so available.  As this is a _contingent_ liability, no figure is factored in to the net assets calculation. 

6. At year end, the group owwed the beavers section £88 as the group had made some payments on behalf of Beavers the previous year (due to better internet banking facilities) which the beavers had over-repaid this year.  Since this is entirely within the group overall, it is excluded from the accounts receivable/payable totals.
