FINANCIAL REPORT -- 1ST OCTOBER 2022 - - 30TH SEPTEMBER 2023

AGM NOVEMBER 2023 W T ROBERTS HON TREASURER

I submit the AnnualReport and Accounts - (14th year) – for the period ending 30th September 2023.

As a result of the many changes made to fees and expenditure - as reported and approved at the 2022

AGM - our finances are now back on aneven keel.

There will be no changes to fees to counties next year except for the purchase of Black/White Blazer

badges to £12.50 (increase in purchase price).Umpire/marker allowances at National Championships will

be increased from next year.

All fees/expenditure will be reviewed by the finance committee next year

Hopefully we will continue to benefit from the EBF week at Potters (this year £4,480); but we no longer

receive the £5,000 grant for Skegness.

The Indoor Championships at Lincoln resulted in alower overspend of £3,760 (last year £4,684); and

Outdoor at Skegness of £2,777 (last year £3,602).

Income 2022 – 2023 £62,883.452021 – 2022 £ 64,039.01

Expenditure 2022 – 2023 £61,814.462021 – 2022 £73,561.53

This year’s expenditure is lower than that presented to the NEC as a result of the adjustment for the

Skegness Green hire not invoiced in 2022.

Overall:surplus of £ 1,068.99 2021 - 2022 deficit£9,522.52

Our overall fund stands at £ 80,516.63

Both income and expenditure were lower partly because there were 2 indoor championships covered by

last year’s account (2021 – 2022).

INVESTMENT

As reported last year; the two-year investment I originally made with Lloyds in 2011 (£ 52,500)only

resulted in interest of £ 56.48 over the past two years. The Bond matured in June this year; and I have re

invested £50,000 - again with Lloyds, which will give us interest of £3,404 over the next two years. The

timing coincided well with the high interest rate at the time.

I thank Counties for settling their invoices early which helps cash flow - even though the increased fees

imposed were made at short notice.Looking at the last two-year comparisons - the overall effect of the

fee increases to counties was approx. £11 to Male clubs and £8 to Ladies clubs.

The Accounts have been audited by Sadofskys – Hull – and they are happy to continue.
