Hi all With regards to the discussion at last months meeting regarding the funding of the club meetings the consensus of those present was that the model suggested be implemented, and was as follows... An advance subscription of three months to be paid by regular members starting from next wednesday (this months 2.50 is also due) and covers the 2nd quarter(april - June). (allowing me to pay in advance for the hall rental of 60 ukp per quarter) This would be at the current rate of 2.50 per month, 7.50 per quarter. a minimum of 8 members is required to maintain this payment level and will be reviewed each quarter, if more than 8 members support the club in this way then refreshments can continue to be supplied "free", if any profit is generated greater than one quarters rent payment this would be used to reduce the last quarters subs. Members who are unable to attend regularly can if they wish opt out of this quarterly subscription, but will be asked to pay an increased donation when they attend a meeting of 3.00 ukp these payments will be kept in the refreshment fund. I hope the above is acceptable to all and will ensure the continued presence of the club. -- John Sandford West Herts UK Hemel Hempstead RISC OS User Group email info@xxxxxxxxx
