## **ANNUAL REPORT 1ST JUNE 2023 TO 31ST MAY 2024.** The President reported that we had enjoyed another successful year. Fundraising events including dances, and quizzes which were well attended. A lot more fundraising events are planned for the future including a Garden Trail planned for the coming July with our Gardening club members and other local people opening their gardens for this event. At the same time the hall will accommodate a refreshment bar,and many stalls advertising the different clubs that use the hall on a regular basis. All these activities are to raise money for a new roof which the hall now needs in the near future. Quotations have been received from several different companies and approimate figure of around £75,000 has been given The local councillor, Dan Walker and Ben Bennett from Hunters Fostall, came along to a previous trustees meeting with advice on how to apply for grants towards this project. Meanwhile general maintenance on the hall took place during the year included having some exterior walls re-pointed. After giving thanks to the trustees for all their support during the past year, he closed by looking forward to even more success in the coming year. ||||**RECULVER & BELTINGE MEMORIAL HALL**|**RECULVER & BELTINGE MEMORIAL HALL**|**RECULVER & BELTINGE MEMORIAL HALL**|||.| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||Charityno. 302823|||||| ||||**Financial Statement 1.6.2023 to 31.5.2024**|||||| |||||||||| ||INCOME|Thisyear|Last Year||EXPENDITURE|This Year|Last Year|| |||2023/2024|2022/2023|||2023/2024|2022/2023|| ||Rents(Regular Hirers)|£17,841.54|£15,889.75||Wages|£4,736.50|£4,272.93|| ||Rents(One Off Hirers)|£1,990.01|£3,537.50||CleaningSupplest|£330.64|£234.39|| ||Returnable Deposits|£700.00|£550.00||Electric|£4,656.68|£2,160.00|| ||Interest - Santander|£15.50|£10.51||Water,Sewage,Windows|£259.89|£209.88|| ||Interest Scottish Widows|£385.16|£57.59||Refuse Collection|£487.80|£448.20|| ||Scottish Power Refund|£1,196.78|-||Business Rates|£111.03|£263.92|| ||Donations|£214.90|£4.00||Hall Insurance|£1,955.40|£1,709.91|| ||Fundraising|£1,906.11|£797.30||PPL/PRS Licences|£400.48|£355.00|| ||||||Web Site|£216.00|£72.00|| ||||||Wi-Fi|£491.10|£90.00|| |||£24,250.00|||Fire Extinguisher contract)|£495.59|£104.94|| ||||||Alarm System Contract)|with Extinqisher|£378.00|| ||||||Heating/Air Con Contract|£199.20|£199.20|| ||||||Returned Deposits|£500.00|£610.00|| ||Interest from||||Other Expenses(Misc.)|£244.17|£646.53|| ||Nat West Instant Deposit|£65.81|||Garden Trail Expenses|£147.55|-|| ||Nat West 1 Reserve|£850.12|||Hall Maintenance|£3,152.80|£339.94|| ||Nat West 2 Fundraising|£933.02|||CardiAid Contract|£432.00|£288.00|| ||||||CardiAid Cabinet||£594.00|| ||||||CavityWall Installation||£1,976.00|| ||||||Fence Removal||£200.00|| ||||||Screen & Fitting||£749.00|| ||||||Survey||£960.00|| |||||||||| ||**TOTAL INCOME.**|**£26,098.95**|**£20,846.65**||**TOTAL EXPENDITURE**|**£18,816.83**|**£16,861.84**|| |||||||||| ||Total Income less Total Expenditure(Surplus foryear)||||||£7,282.12|| |||||||||| |||||||||| ||||BANK BREAKDO|WN||||| |||||||||| ||Nat West Current Account||||||£2,329.79|| ||Nat West Instant Access Deposit Account||||||£10,065.81|| ||Nat West LiquidityManager Account 95 days(Reserve)||||||£30,850.12|| ||Nat West LiquidityManager Account 95 days(Surplus Savings)||||||£34,861.33|| ||TOTAL CASH FUNDS.||||||£78,107.05|| |||||||||| |||||||||| ||Total cash funds carried forward from lastyear.||||||£70,824.93|| ||Total cash funds brought forward from thisyear.||||||£78,107.05|| ||Surplus for this year.||||||£7,282.12|| |||||||||| |||||||||| ||V Bird|Hon.
