Treasurer’s Report for 2007

The Association Finances are in a robust state. The eagle eyed will have noticed that there is a £20 difference in the opening Bank balance – I regret a typographical error.

There is no mention of the Horsley Cup this year as it was self-sufficient financially and the Treasurer was not involved in any of the dealings and no accounts were received by the Treasurer.

This year, the Worthington Cup was not held within the Association’s jurisdiction so, again, there is no report.

I am pleased to say that membership has increased this year by over 30. Most of this was in the Peak District and could be due to Hartington.

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 a further £2,000.00 as this year’s contribution to this.
