Reviewing our finances
The main item in these accounts (that run from 1st August 2017 to 31st July 2018) was the expenditure on the very successful exhibition commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Conservation Area which took place in September last year, and was therefore much celebrated at last year’s AGM. The outlay on the boards and the reception on 28 September 2017 is included in these accounts. We had received £500 in sponsorship which featured in last year’s figures.
Otherwise we have made contributions from the Built Heritage Fund, which actually has few restrictions on the way it is spent, towards the new blue plaque for Nelson Dawson and the Mallory Lane boards, although £4,500 of that was a cheque received from the Skells Trust immediately paid out again to Harrison & Dunn. The carried forward balances reflect those items of expenditure, but overall the finances of the Society remain strong with adequate reserves.
