Treasurer's Report for 2005

The Association Finances are returned to a robust state. Adult membership is up but I am saddened to see that Junior membership has dwindled. This fall is a matter that I think we should address with some urgency when considering the long-term future of the Association.

I have mentioned to your Committee the wisdom of putting on one side a sum each year, on deposit, so that we may have money available at the end of this decade for hosting the Central Council. You will see that I have set aside £ 2,000.00 as this year's contribution to this.

I have tried to show the accounts for several key events in the year - for example the Annual Dinner - so that members may see how these events are funded.

Because of this, I have shown only the final situation for these events in the Income and Expenditure Account - that is their profit or loss. These mean that this part of the accounts no longer shows the flow of often large sums of money in and out, which I feel, is confusing. This is why the Total Income is shown as £5,982.74 here whereas a glance at the Balance sheet shows the actual sum coming in was £ 7,721.47
