At the trading year end the deposit a/c balance is £3766.65 with £43.58 interest earned. The current a/c balance stood at £3834.42 - a total of £7601.07, compared to last year's total balance of £8931.73. The treasurer's report shows a breakdown of the income and expenditure for this year. We spent £7648.78 on BAR STOCK, but we took in £11,492.91. The bar takings profit is £3844.13 compared to last year's £3369.59. Many thanks to Amanda and the clubs who provided volunteers to serve behind the bar at trainings and events.
Electricity charges totalled £1836, compared to last year's £2305.75. Thanks to James for arranging a competitve rate. Water rates and business rates were £524.19 last year, compared to this year's £747.94 . The Cricket Club continue to pay a third share towards the cost of the Playing Field's insurance £2806.40, compared to last year's £2493.91 with Gallagher, but it was a lot cheaper with the new insurance broker than the proposed renewal with Gallagher.
Martin secured a Football Foundation grant of £4224 for the reseeding, fertilising & spraying of the grounds which cost £3850, which leaves £374 which could be set against the £500 mowing expenses. The Thomas Mann trust donated £1720 to pay for a new patio area. The mower service was only £99.34 this year (as machinery only 1 year old) and we paid an honararium to Wayne for £500. The cleaning cost us £2905.29, a little less than last year's £2251.03.
On the income side, ground hire brought in £ 4400. £1000 was transferred from our deposit account which has eaten into our reserves. We had a closing balance of £3766.65 at the end of Aug in the savings account.
To sum up, the accounts for the year show expenditure of £29,175.73. Income totals £27,801.49 = deficit of £1,374.24, compared to last year's £5706.44. This improvement, although we're still running at a loss, is thanks to some generous donations and grants. Thanks to our committee who work tirelessly to keep costs down, give their time volunteering and sourcing much needed fundraising.
