Because of the need
to present audited figures to the AGM these results do not follow a
“traditional” football season.
If you have any
detailed questions please submit to dlomax@scwgl.org.uk and these will be answered at the AGM.
Trophies: because we have extra divisions this season, we have had to increase the trophy budget.
Registration system: This season was the first that we have brought the registration system “in house”. This figure covers the purchase of a printer, software and ID cards.
Cup Finals: This figure is relates to last seasons cup finals 2005/6, this is the direct costs associated with holding the finals. In previous seasons the grounds were donated free of charge, this season we have had to hire grounds and hence the large increase in costs.
Officers Expenses: There is a slight reduction in Officers expenses this season, this has been help by the greater use of technology.
Payment to Registration Secretary: This season we contracted out the production
of ID cards at 50p a card The capital expenditure for
this is contained in the Registration system figure. Last season figures
relates to payments to the WSYL as opposed to Registration Secretary.
Stationery / printing: Printing cost have increased this season, but this is because we had a number of extra printing jobs that were required.
Rule & Hand
books: This the direct cost of producing the League handbook and is in line
with previous seasons.
Hire of halls: This is just the cost of the hall hire for
presentation, council meetings and AGM. The previous season figure is in fact
for one and a half seasons.
Team application returned: This figure has returned to a more manageable sum, the applications at the AGM now a lot more accurate.
Inter-League: Last season we had an Inter-league competition
against another league we hope to extent that this season.
S.C.F.A.: This is our affiliation fees.
Income
Applications: This is our biggest source of income and is our
only guaranteed source of income each season. The increase this season was down
to the expansion of the league.
Registrations: There was again an increase in registration revenue
this year (last year 35%). This is in
line with the increase in teams registering for the league. There was no
registration fee increase this season.
Fines: even though we have more teams there is a decrease in the about of fine
revenue this season as teams become more efficient. This is revenue that we
would prefer not to have received, But it effectively
subsidises the application fees.
Cup Finals: This relates to last season 2005/6.
and is in line with the previous seasons. This year
Cup finals were loss making because of the need to hire senior grounds.
FA Grant: We did not receive a grant from the FA this season (the
£100 was left over from past season) as the scheme was over subscribed, because
of a change to their policy we will not be eligible to receive a grant next
season either because of the amount of grants we received in previous seasons.
Last year’s figure was in fact for 2 seasons
Conclusion/Summary
The league has
continued to expand this season, with an excess income over expenditure of just
of £5k. It is not the intention of the league to continue to make a “profit”,
we have now enough money in the bank to be able to “return value” to member
clubs and this season we have reduced
the application fee and increased registration fees to aid with the cash flow
of clubs.
