Expenditure Review

Guest speaker expenses of £345 are consistent with historical expenditure in this area, the comparison with the same expenditure for the year to March 31^st 2008 is misleading as the sum for that year, £182, was unusually low (a more appropriate comparison can be made with the year to March 31^st 2007 when speaker expenses totalled £332). It should be noted that the year to March 31^st 2009 also includes speaker expenses for our 30^th Anniversary.

Observatory expenditure has increased; this is due to additional expenditure from the General Fund given to supporting New Horizons.

The graph below compares General (unrestricted) fund expenditure for the year ended March 31^st 2009 with that for the year ended March 31^st 2008.
