Treasurer's Report, presented at the 2009 AGM. |
The
club has 46 paid up members this year including 4 honorary members,
this is slightly down on last year but only
by three members so the membership seems
to have found a fairly even level now. We still have a few people
who join for a year and then don't renew their membership again, this
isn't too much of a problem at the moment as this is offset by new
people joining. The junk sale in
February made a modest £65 after expenses but as this is also a
social event the profit made was really worthwhile. There have been two more
claims for the South Holland Award this year so progress is steady
with this award. Donations this year have
been very good with £40 being donated to the repeater fund and £75 to
the club from Keith Davis G3TYR for services rendered to him by the
club. The insurance has gone
up again this year, only a slight rise over last year presumably due
to inflation and was to be expected. The club room rent as
also gone up this year which was also expected, this was a modest
rise also and shouldn't pose any problems to the club's funds. An FT857 has been
purchased for the use in the caravan along with a power supply to
power the radio. A G5RV aerial has also
been bought for the use at the club room, the old one was beyond
repair and so it was decided to replace it. Once again the club has
managed to make a profit over the previous years so that can't be a
bad thing especially with the current state of affairs. Also we
haven't been mean with the money, buying the radio aerials etc., this was
considered money well spent. So once again the club is in a healthy state and thanks to all the members for making it so. |
