HIRE CHARGES FOR THE MEMORIAL GROUND 2010
The Trustees held a special meeting on 22 February to discuss its financial situation and set the charges for the next financial year.
The Trust is suffering from a severe drop in income because of the poor interest rates experienced in the current financial climate. This situation looks unlikely to improve in the foreseeable future.
The Treasurer had prepared some figures which showed the Trust as likely to have expenditure of around £6000. This is without the cost of grass cutting which at present is paid for by the Parish Council. The biggest expense which cannot be done without is for insurance and safety inspections.
Income at present is around £1000 pa.
The revised fees are necessary to deal with some of the shortfall, but all Trustees were tasked with trying to raise some extra income.
We have a splendid facility in the form of the MUGA, but unfortunately this is not used as extensively as we had hoped. It is available for one off bookings such as for birthday parties and of course for regular family use.
If you think you can help us raise some extra income then please let us know !

Family membership £50 pa
Single membership £20 pa
Under 18 membership £10 pa

Youth sports will continue to be free
