Treasurers
Report
Salute
Prior to the current committee members taking their seats, our predecessors,
those ex-Chairmen, Vice chairmen, secretaries and treasurer and members who
have donated time and effort over the years to keep our association thriving
so that it could become the vibrant organisation that it is today.
I take this opportunity to pay my respects to you all especially perhaps
those that were in at the beginning and not forgetting Nobby who remained in
office for over twenty years.
Thank you BZ.
Donations
Donations come in in many ways from £5 to the hundreds, from a book of
stamps to lottery prizes and from many sources and, as you can see from our
audit, they add up to a substantial sum.
I thank you all on behalf of the association and I am aware that not
everyone can or needs to contribute so please do not feel slighted if you
have not done so. Your £15 subs is all the support we need.
I am currently in the process of sending out membership cards to all the
honorary and life members a few at a time and you should have had yours by
the time you read this.
I had a Mrs Lise Whittle join as an Associate recently. She is the niece of
Dick Cains, now deceased, who served in the 44/45 commission. So welcome to
you Lise.
That reminds me, in a recent report I stated that we only had two remaining
members from that commission but, unforgivably I neglected to mention
Slinger Woods an illustrious life member now residing at the Thornes
Retirement Home in Lancaster. So, my apologies to you Shipmate.

The balance of the Welfare Account (less
£1) was transferred to the Treasurers account on 08 December 2020. I
confirm these accounts give a true and fair view of recorded transactions
for the year ended 31 March 2021

As you can see, we made a small loss over the year, but of course we had no
income from the AGM. Nevertheless, we are in good shape. You will notice
that I closed down one account which as I explained last time round was
because I was having trouble with access to it. All our funds are now in the
one account which is functioning well.
Thank you to Ian Hughes who took the trouble to undertake some intelligence
gathering in Bristol for us recently. That was very helpful, thanks Ian.
Finally, I hope that you are all well and looking forward to a return to a
degree of normality in the near future and let us hope that the reunion goes
ahead successfully.
Incidentally, to help us assess numbers it would be helpful if you would put
your deposit down ASAP. Once you have done so we will have a clearer picture
of numbers and can plan accordingly, and I expect the other committee
members may have more to say on the issue.
Thank you all for your support, see you in Oct.
