Summary of Seminar held at Stone Cross Manor Hotel last Sunday
Trustees’ Responsibilities.
According to the Charity Commission (CC) – Ensuring good Governance and Compliance from the 1[st] of October:
All members should have Photo ID cards.
-
Side One: Photo and Name.
-
Side Two: Club Name, Charity No. & Contact details. ( Face book Page/email address)
Treasure Replacement.
Irene is stepping down after 16/18 years as Treasurer, it has become a bit much. So to ease pressure, we considered how we would implement gradual change to see how much other members can be involved, and allowed, by the bank, to help out.
If we do not have a treasure, we cannot have a shop or even a club. We would have to disband. Information is being looked into to find an appropriate ‘Outsider’, if no one comes forward.
We started to form a job description of the Treasurer’s activities.
How it works at moment.
-
Pay cash/cheques into bank – over counter into our account.
-
Paying a bill/ paying a donation to -- by BACS, via the internet on the Bank APP.
-
Keeping a record of both these activities either on Paper or via APP.
-
Producing this to members each month, on an Excel set of sheets.
-
Setting up an account Report at end of Lions Year Using Excel.
Having access to our (business) account, and 2 savings accounts with Pass words etc, etc.
To update treasures members/new ones, we have to go ON LINE to sign in and provide a signature. Irene suggests wo do it one evening together.
One person to be Volunteered/asked to have access to accounts if the treasurer is indisposed for any reason, asap. As the club accounts need to ‘carry on’.
Then that person will be in a position to take over at the end of the Lion Year in July 2026. With some experience under their belt.
Liz felt it appropriate to inform us at this moment to announce she is a trustee of Kentdale Scouts.
