The field Day was an enormous success and yielded a profit of €2963.46. The drop in revenue from the previous year can be attributed to the dismal weather on the day. As the Field Day was about to begin it began to rain heavily and continued to do so for the rest of the day.
It was decided not to proceed with seeking Charitable Status for the moment.
