4. Matters arising: There were none.
5. Treasurer’s Report. Everyone was given a Statement of Accounts for period 1st October 2022 to 30th September 2023. Lance explained these, noting that there was a big difference in Receipts. This was because the committee had decided not to charge Table Money and only charge £1 for Annual Subs. He stated that with the re-introduction of full subs and table money things would sort themselves out by next year. We still had £5,375.56 in the bank. No questions were forthcoming. Kathryn proposed the acceptance of these and was seconded by Arthur Gray.
At this stage James Love asked the question about reducing our rent to Badsey Club. John explained that this was not possible.
6. Chairman’s Report: John again thanked everyone for supporting the club during a difficult year and welcomed a number of new members. It had been decided that Annual Subs of £10 and Table Money of £3 per week would start again next week, 7th November 2023. Table Money would be collected by either Wendy or Kathryn each week and given to our new treasurer once a month. Annual subs would be collected also, and given to the treasurer as and when they were paid. Each members would be given a Membership Card with a number on (1, 2, etc.). They would need to sign this card.
John then told the meeting that Lance, our treasurer for last 24 years, had decided to resign. He was given a small gift with our Many Thanks. Mark Stretch has agreed to become the new treasurer. This was Proposed and accepted by Ronnie and Wendy
