Hi Fiona, 

Thanks for dropping over this afternoon to discuss the past years accounts for the parish hall. 

it is generous of you to take the time to accommodate myself and the task involved. It all seems very successful for, i believe,  your first attempt. Hearty congratulations! 

If i may suggest (but already on your to do list) i would place the "Windows" expenditure under Capital Expenditure. I would also agree that under “Other" you might want to highlight what it also incurred by spreading it onto two seperate headings;  providing you have the space on one A4 sheet. Likewise with the entry for “Gardening “ which can carry other costs:  albeit keeping it simple is as equally important. In further discussions, i am grateful for explaining to me the situation concerning the entry “Telephone” including wi-fi and others. 

Finally, i am happy with the accounts and the hard work behind the scenes to get us to this stage. The work is very succinct and covers all income and expenditure, as one might well expect with a Parish Hall scenario. Thank you kindly. 

With every good wish, 

Patrick
