SoolLS D&M Brass Band Treasurers Report AGM 27 May 2025 I can confirm the income and expenditure for the year ending 31 March 20 as follows. 5 is Monies in £27,772.27 Monies out £25,559.55 Surplu5 Bank balance £ 4,773.26 I'm going to continue my shorter format report and streamline this part of AGM. There is no value in making comparisons of income/expenditure so I comment on each on its merit rather than making comparison. This has been another mixed year, with highs and lows, many more highs than lows again though. Many super concerts. Including two excellent concerts St Mary's. a debut at Fringe on the Sea and several concerts for Prestonfiel House. From a contest point of view. an excellent 3rd place at Fife secured debut at the Spring Festival. S3dly, for reasons out of our control we made the difficult, but correct decision to withdraw from the Scottish Open (our first I withdrawal since 2014) and our performance in March sadly not finding fa*)ur in the box. That's contesting though. Re5uIt5 have no bearing on the ethoslof the band, which remains stronger than ever, and I'm glad to see some soci45 being organised. l am pleased to report a surplus, the first since 2020-21 This 15 in main due to an exceptionally strong year in our concert income. T well attended concerts at St Marys plus our debut at Fringe on the Sea. W need to work hard to continue the momentum. Subscriptions are also in a good place, which I thank everyone for. From an expense point of view, there has been no unplanned expenditure, and capital expenditure has generally been covered by grants. I would like to spend a few minutes going over the last year's accounts bef inviting questions firstly on the previous year followed by questions for the upcoming year. Due to the AGM being electronic may I please ask for questions to be kept until requested at the end of each section. Income Subscriptions - £5,700.00 Subscription income for 2024125. No issues. Fundraising- £2,965.53 The East Lothian Lottery, continues to be an important income stream. Ple support if you can and help us to get to our target of 100 tickets. se The past Just Giving page has again proved to be successful, we currently hlve an open-ended page which we advertise periodically. This attracts approp ate Gift Aid. Easyfundraising is an app which could be lucrative if used to its potential. Grants/Donations - £6.750.00 A massive thank you to our Grant Coordinators who have done great Job in acquiring grants for the band again this year. £3,700.00 from Weir Foundation £2,000.00 from Adrian Swire Charitable Trust £1,050.00 from Foundation Scotland In addition to this we have continued to enjoy ongoing support from Prestonfield. Our grant co-ordinators are always keen to explore new fundi opportunities, so if you have any ideas please let the committee know. Concert Income- £10,365.74 Concert income is very strong just now, and this figure was buoyed by an exceptionally well attended Christmas concert along with Fringe on the Se3 The committee are continuing to look for new opportunities, some which a planned for later this year. Non-concert Income- £1,991.00 Any income stream that does not fit into the above- this year it is mainly monies for the hotel in Blackpool -Expenditure Conductor/Player Expenses - £9.957.49 Includes out MD fees and those of our Guest Conductor. Concert/Contest expenses - £7,048.04 Non conducting expenses. This cover5 a multitude of expenses from hall hi contest fees, SBBA fees, coach hire and sundry concert and contest related I expenses. Increased this year due to the hotel for Blackpool Band Hall Expenses- £5,727.33 AII BAU costs in relation to band hall. storage and services. This will increa inflation and general cost of living expenses are still high as PR Costs- £590.37 A category to include any PR expenditure. This includes costs of advertisin banners, all internet costs and anything that shed the band in good light. T will become particularly important as we need to be professional in every sense. is Capital Costs - £2,089.32 All purchases of equipment, uniforms or music, or costs associated with thdr upkeep. No large purchases this year, and were generally covered by grant Fundraising expenses - £147.00 Expenses in the ledger relating to fundraising. Extra Ordinary Expenses- Nil en Discussion A enda Subscriptions Subscription income continues to be steady. Subscriptions continue to be £240 as agreed at the 2022 AGM. I can't stress the importance of subscriptions enough. We probably don't like them, but It's what is required to keep the band running smoothly. Please keep up to date with your subs. A reminder that subs should be paid, or arrangements made with the Treasurer prior to the AGM each year. Band hall The band continue to enjoy IOOOA rates relief due to our charitable status a our work in the community. No major uncosted expenditure is planned. and any planned works will be costed and planned through the application of grants. It must be noted though that most of the 'big' jobs have now been completpd with exception of the blue room, however a £rant is being sourced for this. Iwe as a group now need to consolidate and continue to keep the hall managea Fundraising As an organisation we must get better at this. We can't rely on the goodwil players. Perhaps a dedicated fundraising co-ordinator post should be considered to explore new funding avenues. Conclusion A very short conclusion- while we will be in the I" section again in 2026, w need to keep the mentality of one of the top bands in Scotland - which we Ire in many ways and need to continue to behave In this way, both musically 4nd fiscally. Please keep the standards up in all aspects to ensure the smooth running of the band. As ever, if there are any revenue streams or idea5 to strengthen the band i the community please raise this with the committee- we are always on th lookout for new opportunities!
