TREASURER'S ANNUAL REPORT
The Balance Sheet having been distributed, the meeting proceeded to hear the Treasurer's report:-
From the accounts you can see that the two main differences this year are the expenditure on Gatepost and the income from donations. Fortunately, the generous donations from Gatepost readers, and the much appreciated help from the Banners Gate Community Association, have enabled the Forum to make ends meet - just - and there is enough in the bank to cover immediate expenditure. Thank you to all the people who donated, but I must stress that if you're keen to see the Forum and 'Gatepost' continue, please keep giving, without your donations the Forum and Gatepost could not survive.
