SUBSCRIPTIONS.
The membership has again gone up even
though we had to put the subscriptions up to £10. We now have 43
paid up members against 37 for last year. Also 3 members paid
before the AGM and got their membership for £7.50,the old rate.
This increase in membership is due to John's novice, Intermediate
and full licence classes, which I believe are very well attended.
Well-done John,
RALLY.
This
years rally income was down on last year but also the expenses were
down, this was mainly due to the fact that we did not have to invest in
extra advertising or buy another rally banner so the actual difference
was only about £100.
JUNK SALES.
The
junk sales income was also down on last year. They are well
advertised on the club net and website and parking is not too much of a
problem. Brenda and her crew do sterling work with the bacon butties
and tea; you don't know what you are missing. And of course Robin
our auctioneer who also does a good job. You don't know what you're
missing so come along next year.
MISC.
The
Christmas dinner this year was at The Royal Mail Cart. We had 37 people attend, which
was a good turnout.
The raffle money, which raised £50 this year, went to
the Jay Gee Dog Sanctuary; the dinner was as always break
even.
A big thank-you to all
the people who donated to the club, especially the two members who
donated £100 each, and wish to remain anonymous.
Some of the proceeds have
already gone into purchasing a new ATU, coax, plugs and various other
pieces of equipment.
Our biggest expense of
all this year was of course the new Clubroom, which cost us nearly £1900.
I think personally that
if SHDC had played ball they could have saved us the expense of buying the caravan
which cost us £1000, but we
were virtually homeless and something had to be done.
The caravan was found at
Boston Hospital and purchased, (Thanks for finding it Danny.)
It then cost us a further
£256 for planning permission to site the caravan at Alan's QTH, (Thanks for the offer
Alan), This also
caused us many problems mainly due to outside objections which I do not want to go into but
which no doubt you
all know about.
After all this SHDC found
us our present clubroom which has cost us another £587 for one years rent but at least it
serves our needs
quite well. I think the best bonus is a separate room for the radios where members can
operate in peace and quiet.
On a final note a big
thank you to all the members who have given up their time and put a lot of hard work in to the
move from the
Old Firestation to our new clubroom.
