Actions and reports
AT - Chair (Andrew Turvey) (including Office Manager)
Andrew's Report was acknowledged, with thanks.
2009-2010 accounts: two differences between the abbreviated and full accounts:
- Treatment of paypal fees. Treated as an expense for restricted funds. Paypal fees need to go wholly against the unrestricted, and should be subtracted from the total amount raised in the fundraiser. The split of restricted vs. unrestricted is then based on the total minus the paypal fees.
- Full accounts include an accrual for £89 for attending a conference. Should be unrestricted not restricted.
- MP reminded the board that some subtractions will need to be made from the restricted funds - namely sponsorship of the Chapters Meeting in 2010 and socilitors fees. These come under the 2010-2011 accounts.
- Charity Application - review of status, discussion of way forward
- Accounts - (both 2009-2010 and 2010-2011), review of status, agreement on accounting methods going forward
