Report
Report on the accounts of the London Irish Bowling
Association as at 30th September 2021
As we have not held an AGM since 2020 I have produced two
sets of accounts which I will explain.
With the decision made at the 2020 AGM to revert back to
holding the Association's AGMs in January I have produced a
set of accounts for January 2020 - 30 September 2020 i.e. 9
months and not the 10 months reported in the 2020 AGM
minutes. This so as to coincide with the end of the Outdoor
season. Effectively the Association's accounting period is
now 1st October to 30th September which is the whole of one
Indoor season and the whole of one Outdoor Season. A set of
accounts for 1st October 2020 to 30th September 2021 has
therefore been produced.
There is, as you would expect, very little to report. For
the accounts 1st January to 30th September 2020 essentially
we had a brief period when we bowled indoors January 2020 to
March 2020 when we got a little income which covered the
small amount of expenditure and also provided a modest
profit. For the accounts 1st October 2020 to 30th September
2021 when the Association did not bowl there was just two
items of expenditure.
At the end of the day we remain very comfortably placed with
£4412.41 in our Bank account and Cash in Hand.
The accounts for the 9 months 1st January 2020 - 30th
September 2020 have been partially audited - Andy Docker
undertook this when we last met as a committee on 19th May
2021. I have also produced accounts for the year 1st October
2020 to 30th September 2021 which at the time of writing
have not been audited.
