The latest quarterly bill for electricity up to Xmas has been received from Findrack Estate:
As usual, their arithmetic is slightly suspect as is the lack of consistency of the rate charged, but it's only buttons and it's in our favour again, so I'm just going to pay it.
The mount consumed in the last quarter was 10% lower than the same time last year, and the overall cost is just over £1 per day, which is certainly the cheapest squash we have ever had, or likely to have - by a long way!
Once I've paid this, I will have funds in hand of £203 and, if we're lucky and no other costs are incurred, this will last us up until about June this year, after which I'll need to make another cash call if we are to continue to use the facility.
With user numbers diminishing, the chances are that we will only have about 8 contributing to our costs going forward, and with electricity costs likely to be rising to about £500 p.a., this will mean about £60 per head. This would, however, be the first cash call for 2 years - effectively this season has been a free one.
