**Chairmans report YE 31/3/2022**
## After a turbulent three years we are now getting back to normality,
The Mincarlo in Lowestoft is looking in good shape and is a credit to the volunteer crew continuing with the maintenance, the Main engine was fires up in August 22 for the first time since the pandemic, as we get through the summer season it’s evident the visiting public are not making donations as in the past we are 45% down on donations against previous years , as a result of the fall in donations we will have to postpone the scheduled dry docking until late summer 2023, with the scheduled docking of the Lydia Eva.
The Lydia Eva is looking in good shape externally after her previous docking on going works inboard by the maintenance crew is ongoing, visiting public is much on par with the Mincarlo, it’s suggested we invest in better signs throughout the seafront pointing the public in the direction of the vessel.
As chairman I am concerned about the shortage of donations, not only for the Mincarlo and Lydia Eva, but with the impact of cost of coal the impact on the operating and sea passages onboard the Lydia Eva is now running at a loss , the Lydia Eva passed her annual inspections by MECAL On behalf of the MCA, the vessel was docked in late 21 as a result of damage sustained whilst in Lyme Regis, luckily the film company paid for 95% of the docking bill , putting the vessel in best shape for her mid term out of water docking in late summer 2023.
If we continue to get fuel costs at the current rate we have no option as to pass the costs on to the paying public , this will have to be looked at in great detail prior to the 2023 season along with options of alternative fuel.
We have a challenge as trustees to get funding flowing allowing us to keep the vessels in the standard of previous years.

**Treasurers report YE 31/3/2022**
**First of all thank you for re appointing me after the 2021 AGM, I carried on from that date and took back full control of the treasurers job from the 1st January 2022.**
**2021-2022 was a very busy year financially, keeping up with all the extra expenditure for Lydia Eva due to her being contracted to the Film company. Yes we had extra Expenditure, but the “Donation” from the film company paid for a lot of extra improvements on Lydia. Also the damage to her was paid by the film company, and the trust only had to pay for the “Extra” work that was done whilest in dry dock.**
**Because of Lydia being away for so long the donations bucket was well down, but overall the ship gained from the visit to Lyme Regis, with hopefully more gains once the film is released December 2023.**
**Mincarlo Plodded on with her openings and as you will see from the accounts didn’t do that badly last season, especially as post covid19 we only opened for part of the year.**
**As discussed at the AGM last year Card machines have been purchased for both ships and will be in use from Easter 2022.**
**Overall the trust is in reasonable shape, but with the donations slowly diminishing, we have to be very careful with our expenditure on both vessels, seeking the best prices for anything purchased.**
