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
