In March 2019, Clapton CFC spent £37,994.52 and once again, for hopefully the final time, the largest costs (£32,936.15) went towards the production of our replica shirts.
We also purchased the defibrillator that members voted on in February and paid for flights for players to play in Catalonia on 8 April (although Barcelona City Council are reimbursing us for both flight and accommodation costs).
On top of these expenses, we also donated £91.80 to Crossworld FC, to bring the total raised by supporters at our game against Chipperfield Corinthians in February to £300.
Total income in March 2019 was £21,195.48. For the third month in a row, this is overwhelmingly made up of advance sales of shirts (£16,358.003), but we also received a welcome refund of VAT of £4,526.48.
