Treasurer's Report 2007

2006 was again a quiet year with regard to the chapter's finances, which are sill fairly healthy - income was £105.00 (£32.35 down on that for 2005). This is because, in 2005, we received donations for a retirement gift for Fr Dennis Mason (our former Chapter Chaplain) - an item not present in 2006.

Expenditure was £278.05 (£142.39 up on that for 2006). This increase is accounted for by the cost of a new cope for the Chapter Chaplain and the organising of the young servers' sleepover. The deposit account remains untouched and is accumulating interest - the balance on it is currently £1,132.26. This leads to our total assets for the end of 2006 being £1,366.49.

I still enjoy being Chapter Treasurer and am willing to continue. Membership subscriptions and magazine subscriptions are being collected centrally by direct debit and should no longer be paid to me. However, I would gratefully receive any chapter donations.

Finally, I would like to thank Bro Ben Heffer for all his hard work as Chapter Secretary. I would also like to thank, in his absence, Fr Dennis Mason for auditing the accounts for 2006, therby checking that I am doing business correctly. Bro Trevor Langrish, Treasurer.
