Hartest and District Garden Club Annual Accounts to Oct2017

This financial statement is up until the 23rd October 2017. It includes all income and expenditure up until that date.

The balance at the bank and in cash shows an increase of £779.62over the year to date.

The balance of cash and bank stands £1478.91

To story of the year to date was that at July 17 there was a slightly better than break even situation but that with a poor attendance at September and October meetings combined with expenditure association with trophies for the show the overall year to date situation has shown a decrease of about £350. However the club received a £1000 donation in memory of Kathleen Morgan and Zillah Tebbitt leaving the club in a healthy situation. We will though have to provide for the renovation of the seat in the millennium wood.

Of other note is the fact that raffle income (£302) continues to underpin a lot of the clubs performance. We also donated or will donate a total of £320 to charity this year through the garden visits.

Both the trophy costs and the hire of the hall are slightly misleading as late travelling invoices have caused a distortion. Had they had been received earlier they could have been shown in the previous years accounts– this has had the effect of moving about £150 of cost from last year till this

Christmas dinner subsidy will decrease thiscoming year and with the trophy expenditure /renewals peaking over the past 2 years it is expected the clubs finance will show a small increase over the next 12 months continuing the club on a good financial footing
