For each May Ball / June Event or equivalent held by the college
since the year 2000, could you please let me know:
i/ If the event was a fund-raising event with charitable aims.
ii/ If the event benefited from tax exemptions which applies to
fund-raising events.
iii/ The amount donated by the body running the event to charitable
causes, broken down by which [other] charities received donations
of money raised by the event.
iv/ The value of the contribution made to each event's finances by
the college. Including both cash contributions and waived charges
for products and services.
My request may well be fulfilled by releasing the annual report /
statement of accounts produced by the group organising the event.
I would like my response to include information, where held, on any
May Balls / June Events currently being organised.

Dear Mr Mash,
Churchill College does not hold a May Ball but does have a low cost event
in February each year. This is organised by a committee of students and
not by the College. I do not hold records of their final accounts and the
committee changes each year. The accounts are held by the organising
Committee from year to year.
The organising Committee is charged for any College services used, at
cost.
It does aim to make a charitable donation each year, provided that it has
covered its costs.
According to the records I do have, donations were made to charity as
follows;
2001 £700
2002 £3,200
2003 £800
2004 £1,000 (EACH and Winter Comfort)
2005 £1,000
2006 £1,200
2007 £3,000
2008 £0 (owes money to the College).
The event does not benefit from any tax exemptions. It is below the
turnover required for registration for VAT.
Next year's event will be on the 13th January 2009.
