Treasurer's Report 2009

In 2008, very little happened with the chapter’s finances, which are still healthy - income was £96.49 (£22.25 down on that for 2007). This is because we had one meeting less than in 2007. Expenditure was £166.28 (£140.08 up on that for 2007). This increase is accounted for payment of Secretary’s expenses for 2007 and 2008. The deposit account remains untouched and is accumulating interest - the balance on it is currently £1,149.24. This leads to our total assets for the end of 2008 being £1,381.90.

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 preferably not be paid to me, though I can pass on payment form members who would rather not use direct debit. However, I would gratefully receive any chapter donations.

Finally, I would like to thank Brother Ben Heffer for all his hard work as Chapter secretary. I would also like to thank, in his absence, Father Dennis Mason for auditing the accounts for 2008, thereby checking that I am doing business correctly.
