“Despite the poor weather, income levels in 2012 remained similar to the previous year’s and the financial contribution generated from staging last year’s one-day international and also the Friends Life t20 finals day was also in line with budget.

“Like all businesses, liquidity is a key measure and it is pleasing to report that our cash balances have improved significantly during the past 12 months.”
