Treasurers report
Receipts show that hires are slightly up on last year with one off hires
doubled in the year meaning that booking receipts are up 25% with
fundraising also up 25% on last year.
Expenditure reports show that costs in general are comparable to last year,
with the exception of energy which has seen the electricity bill almost
tripled. (This increase does not account for the undercharging that was
discovered which will be detailed in the next report.) There has been no
capital expenditure yet this year, but plans remain to refurbish the ladies
and disabled toilets as well as other key maintenance projects.
In Summary the bank balance still looks healthy, energy bills not
withstanding, at £34,842.00 as of the 31st March 2023.
Maintenance Report
Guttering has been bought to replace the broken and damaged parts
around the hall. As part of the repair project, it is planned to install a new
Soak away and attach the water butt for the Nature Garden.
Items repaired since the last meeting include the outside tap, door hinges
and stops.
Quotes are being sought for the following items, blown windows, bin store
and the women’s and disabled bathrooms.
