Treasurer's Report, presented at the 2010 AGM.

The club has 45 paid up members and 4 honorary members this year, 1 down on last year, so the membership seems to have levelled of again. The problem of people joining the club for a year and then not renewing their subs in following years remains an issue.

 the rally takings were only slightly down on last year and considering the weather was not very good, the club did quite well. The expenses were up on last year mainly because the hire of the tables and the cost of hiring the Gleed School had increased, but even so the club made a nice profit.

 The junk sale made a modest profit again this year, not quite as much as last year but nevertheless a profit so that can't be bad. Much better than a loss.

 This year has seen a significant rise in the clubs expenses, namely just over £258. The main ones being the insurance, club room and hire of the Gleed school for the rally. Other costs that have increased are the hire of the tables for the rally and also the engraving of the trophies.  

In light of all these extra costs I think the club should review the cost of the subs and possibly the entrance fee to the rally for 2010. Un fortunately these costs won't go away and something will have to be done as these costs will get larger every year. It is only a small club financially and any constructive comments on raising the extra money would be welcome.
