At the trading year end the deposit a/c balance is £4723.07 with £132.33 interest earned.  The current a/c balance stood at £4208.66 - a total of £8931.73. The treasurer's report shows a breakdown of the income and expenditure for this year.  We spent £6119.42 on BAR STOCK, but we took in £9489.01.  The bar takings profit is £3369.59 compared to last year's £2851.06. Many thanks to Amanda and the clubs who provided a volunteer to serve behind the bar at trainings and events. 

Electricity charges totalled £2305.75, slightly up on last year's £2138.85. Water rates were £524.19, compared to last year's £863.38 . The Cricket Club continue to pay a third share towards the cost of the Playing Field's insurance £2493.91, compared to last year's £2888.65. 



Martin managed to secure us a sizeable Football Foundation Grant for £26,896 for new grounds machinery. The Parish Council and the cricket and football clubs donated money to towards the balance needed.  The mower service and running costs totalled £478.22 and we paid an honorarium to Graham Shaw for £500.  The cleaning cost us £2023.58, a little less than last year's £2251.03. 

On the income side, ground hire brought in £ 2350 which was £1000 less than normal, as I forgot to chase up an outstanding invoice in time for year end. The £1k will show in next year's accounts.  £7500 was transferred from our deposit account which has eaten into our reserves.  We had a closing balance of £4723.07 at the end of Aug in the saving account, compared to last year's £12,090.74. 

To sum up, the accounts for the year show expenditure of £53,586.94 + £7500 transferred from our savings = £61086.94.  Income totals £55380.50 = deficit of £5706.44 compared to last year's £11,054.95. The deficit would have been £1k less, if we'd had the ground rent due paid in before the year end.  Based on this, we need to generate around £4000 more per year to stay afloat.
