Dear all In response to recent queries on Britdisc I thought I should send out a few notes on my approach to the role of treasurer so that you can decide whether to vote for me or for a re-election.
My general view is that the treasurer is not the person who decides how the money is spent but is there to ensure that the finances are controlled and that financial information is made available to the members as transparently as possible. Key concerns of mine are as follows: That we can keep the membership fee as low as possible and that members perceive that they receive value for money. That the members have sufficient opportunity to express their wishes as to how income will be spent. To meet this I would like to carry out a questionnaire (hopefully online) in order that some good quality feedback can be received on how we want to spend our money. That we can provide some level of insurance cover but that in doing this we don't open the association to any claims from members or third parties. I would like some more advice in this area but I imagine at a minimum that all members will need to sign some kind of waiver. That we can minimise admin costs in the area of collecting membership fees and communicating with members If you want to discuss any issues in more depth with me then you can mail me directly on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wayne Headrush
