8. Treasurer’s Report

Another steady year to report with Membership income down just 5%  on last year at £14658. With resumption of matches after COVID match fees increased 125% on last year at £1478. Expenditure showed an increase of 3% on last year due to one off charges for tree felling £1000 and planning application fee for new floodlights £494.

A net surplus of income over expenditure of £5352 down 12% on last year. In terms of actual cashflow into the club we are showing a reduction of £5054 with bank balances falling to £33720 at year end as a result of the expenditure of 15324 on resurfacing court one.

Further expenditure on painting the new court and installing floodlights will be made on next financial year. This will be partially offset by the receipt of a Grant from RVBC of £5000. This should be the final major expenditure for a few years enabling the club to rebuild funds for the next round of court upgrades.
