CHAIRMAN’S
JOTTINGS
The Privy Council has now approved the grant of a new Charter, so it’s
all systems go for election of a new Board of Trustees, a new Board of
Management, and President and Vice-Presidents for the next three years.
The first of these, election of new Trustees, has already taken place.

I would like to thank all those Branch Members who responded to my
suggestion that we support Peter in this election.

TREASURER'S
REPORT
Bank Accounts
Having regard to one cheque not yet credited and cheques not yet
presented for clearance, the current account stands at £321.81. The sharp drop
in the current account is due to the branch providing the workshop at no cost
to delegates in the anticipation that more branch members would attend, thankfully
this was the case. The branch's financial position is however sound with
£8,056.13 in the deposit account.
HQ Grant
We have received £1156.90 from HQ for the second instalment of the grant.
Deducted from the grant is £57.57 for the past chairmans
jewel.
VAT
The VAT return was prepared and sent to HQ on time.
Events
With regard to the mock adjudication held at Lincoln University, all
expenses are now paid,
giving a final profit of £294.98.
