Treasurer’s Report to the AGM

Waiheke Island Choral Society

26 March 2024

 

2023 was our first fully-functional year since the pandemic.  Our two concerts brought in a nice sum of $3275, and we had a small operating loss of $230 on the year – slightly more than our loss of $117 in 2022.  In both years we would have earned a small profit if we hadn’t been so supportive of our community:  We always give away the profits of our Christmas concert to an island charity.  In 2023 we donated $880 to the Waiheke Budgeting Service.

A note on a couple of big differences between the 2022 and 2023 numbers:

·         At the 2022 AGM we decided to suspend the annual subscriptions for that year, since our members hadn’t received much benefit from their subs in 2020 and 2021.  (A few generous singers paid anyway.)  That’s why our income from subs ballooned from $70 to $855 in 2023.

·         Normally our hall hire expenses run at about $900 per annum.  Since we didn’t get started in 2022 until mid-year, we had only half that; plus the Waiheke Musical Museum didn’t invoice us for the final three months until February 2023.  So we effectively paid for only three months of hall hire in 2022, and fifteen months in 2023.

I recommend that we keep My Green Bookkeeper as our account reviewer for 2024, and that we maintain our annual subs at $30 per person or $50 per couple.

Mark James, Treasurer
