MEETINGS
for 2009-2010
The budget for the year is the fees of 22x£40x12= £10,560
This spend does not take
account of guest fees or fines, both of which provide yet more funds.
Meetings are either PUBx4 (cheap and cheerful
at £600), MIDDLEx4 (middling costs at about £800), or AWAYDAYx3 (over £1200)
The
geographical balance has changed slightly with Hugh in Medway and Gary in
Sittingbourne.
The
balance is now Medway 10 members, Maidstone 6 members, Sittingbourne 6 members (incl
Brian & Al).
The
ideal balance of the 12 meetings is one AGM, two AWAYDAYS leaving 9 local, split
roughly 4 Medway, 2.5 Maidstone, 2.5 Sittingbourne
Meetings coloured in
purple are
past -
those in yellow are
booked
- those in white are open to suggestions.

Members live roughly 10 in the Medway area, 9
Maidstone area, 3 Sittingbourne
so an ideal annual split is either 4 or 5
each to Medway and Maidstone, 1 to Sittingbourne and 1 London.
To date the programme above is Medway 4, Maidstone 4,
Sittingbourne 2, London 1 - nice planning? no just lucky!
AT THE END OF THE YEAR GASS HAD THE REQUIRED £5,000 IN THE BANK
AGAIN AS A BUFFER - SPOT ON ACCOUNTING!
MEETINGS
for 2007-2008
The budget for the year is the fees of 22x£40x12= £10,560
This spend does not take

Meetings coloured in

Meetings are either PUB (cheap and cheerful
at £500), MID (middling costs at about £800), AWAY (over a £1000)
In 2007 we celebrated the 25th Anniversary
with a particularly expensive AGM. This led to an excess of expenditure
over income.

NOTE: In 2006/7 there were 6 Medway
based meetings to 3 Maidstone, 1 London, 1 Luton, which favoured Medway quite a
bit.
Members live roughly 10 in the Medway area, 9
Maidstone area, 3 Sittingbourne
so an ideal annual split is either 4 or 5
each to Medway and Maidstone, 1 to Sittingbourne and 1 London.
This year it looks like 4 Medway, 5
Maidstone, 1 Sittingbourne, 1 London - which is a fair balance after last year.
Would those who have never sponsored a
meeting give it serious thought please.
MEETINGS held in 2006-2007
A great series of meetings for the
25th year
The budget for the year
is the fees of 22x£40x12= £10,560 plus the surplus funds of £1,500, a total
spend of £12,060
As this
was our 25th year we spent £11,500 on meetings as opposed to £8,000 in
previous years

GEOGRAPHICALLY this is 3 in Medway, 3 in North Downs, 3
awaydays, 1 in the middle and one undecided, plus the AGM .
Hopefully this is a fair
spread and reflects where our members live.
