The Charity Account is used to receive direct donations and transfers of surpluses arising in the Activities Account from time to time. The Charity Account is used solely to fund Charitable Donations being made - as authorized by the Club Members in general meeting. The Administration Account is used for the receipt of Membership Subscriptions and payment of Expenses associated with the running of the Club itself.
