ESK VALLEY MODEL ENGINEERING SOCIETY (SCIO) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Activities and Achievements
Thanks to the continued support from the membership we were able to build on this from takings made running at Vogrie which commenced early on 31st march giving us a few extra days income. Vogrie Sunday takings this year surprisingly were up on last year from £5900 to £7950 which has given us a little boost. Thanks to all involved in running operations.
Membership income is up this year considerably from £1800 to £2200 the membership sits at 38 paid members. This is an increase of 7 members on last year.
The club has seen £795 of donations throughout the year; this is up on last year (£148) with the donation of £500 from the Wave Community Fund which was used to purchase the DRO for training on the Myford, along with various member donations from tool sale throughout the year. Donations of £164 were received from visiting membership attending our annual BBQ also.
Tools sales were down this year with the bulk of the money coming from the sale of Harry Rosbotham's milling machine.
The expenditure for our annual BBQ is down slightly from the previous year due to us having catering equipment/consumables etc left from last year. A good turnout from visiting clubs and our own membership was witnessed. Thank you to my BBQ assistant once again and to all that help on the day.
There is a considerable increase in the Vogrie maintenance costs showing on this year's summary due to the fact that the steel for the track (£1200) and passenger car (£1540) purchased have fallen into this year's books, having been ordered last year. We also spent £520 on materials for the new steps down to the steaming bay area and £630 on a new hydraulic pump for the club Deltic.
The fire and public liability insurance is up by £170 from the previous year with the increased membership subs falling short by £70 in covering this.
We have seen an increase in the electricity bills for Roslin of £350 due to not having Ed's credit notes from last year dropping down our bills. The electricity expenditure is now what it should be moving forward but will be reviewed in due course.
The container roof at Roslin is still currently leaking and needs covered over. The next batch of track replacement will require plant hire and materials. Roof repairs at Roslin.
On the whole it has been a very good year apart from the ongoing need to replace the ageing track. We have finished the year with the £700 more in the bank after some major outlays. Hopefully there will be a few less in the incoming year.
Yet again I would like to thank the membership who turn out to Vogrie to earn the funds for the club and also to members who work away in the back ground maintaining and improving the workshop facilities, having seen other clubs we now having one of the best. Without both of these things happening the club would not survive.
