We have examined the Income and Expenditure Account and Balance Sheet, which are in accordance with the books, vouchers and information made available to us.
The Association Finances are in a robust state. The eagle eyed will have noticed that there is a difference in the opening Bank balance to that shown as the closing balance for 2007. This reflects the un-presented cheques in 2007 some of which have had to be reissued this year.
Again, 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 the Treasurer received no accounts. The sum of £52.00 received by the Treasurer for this event should not be interpreted as a “profit”.
You will see that there are two payments this year for the Member’s Accident Scheme. The Insurers have removed their “15 days grace” so this year’s premium had to be paid before the 1st January 2008. However, conversely, there is no Affiliation Fee to the Central Council as they claimed 2008 payment in 2007.
There has been clarification to the area of Cover of the Public Liability Insurance. Please refer to “Insurance” elsewhere in this Annual Report.
There has been a considerable increase in the expenses of both the General Secretary and of those District Secretaries who claim. I think this is largely due to postal costs and I feel that some thought should be given to this. I have had discussions with the General Secretary in ways of reducing her costs and particularly the use of electronic duplication and distribution wherever possible. Perhaps others would care to offer helpful suggestions when appropriate.
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.
