District Treasurers Report
Y.E 31° March 2023
District funds are healthy this year again In some part due to the 2020 Covid grants.
We are fortunate wlth our long term H.Q users- the nursery• dancing class and sjlmming
worfd. The income from these make Nokeside andThe VopFars self sufficienL
We are fortunate also that both bulldings have not requlred ary expenslve repairs { touch
wood) re¢ently.
It is a great Joy to see The Canyon being enjoyed by more people at last. The Canyon as a
slte will always need money spending on it to keep it updated and for the usual safety
requlrements. We are at thls moment startlng to build an outslde canopy to run acr05S the
front of the bulldlng making a sun and raln shelter whith will be a great asset.
Sad news this year Andy Smith retired from hls fole as fund ra15er for the Dlstrlct. The trnin
has therefore also been retlred and is up for sale, no one could be the.fat controllerf Ilke
Andy. I have been rellably inf0rn7ed though that he sdll gets hls fun riding around on the
lawn mower in The Poplars garden.
Thanks Andy for building up reserves in the past years maklng It possible for us to never
have to use membership monles to fundthe Head Quarters. TThe J"amboree contingent
have been lucky to have his Buldan¢e and help with thelr fund rdlsing.
Pauline still continues to keep the shop an artive part of our Dlstrltt, all groups spending
money In the shop still recelve thelr dlscounts taken off their membershlp money
annuatty. Most groups pald on time agaln this year thanks to all group treasurer
Kerry and I have visited the bank wlth the aim of taking us into the modern age and using
internet banklng. We don't want anymore embarrasstng rnornents with theques belng
damaged by banks and returned to us as happened with our membership money this year.
Unfortunately as l am findlng banks move in very slow mysterlous ways. l am stlll trying to
"verlfy" the Lochearnhead account wlth them thls process started in November and due to
thelr unnece55ary gobbledegook It Is S￿11 ongoing.
