 IIRC there were three signatories for the account; you, Nick Rout and

 your authority with the bank.

Jim, you are correct.  I set up the bank account and Nick and Chris
can take it over if anything happens to me or I am not available.

Just because we won't be having any more meetings for a while doesn't
mean we need to throw away or give away our money.  We may want to
have another installfest in the future.  We also need to pay for
things like our domain names.

If we are giving up on the meetings for now then I'll take the
contents of the money box that I take to the meetings and put it in
the bank account.

We can get Chris's name taken off the account, and if people think it
is necessary we can get someone elses name put on.

If the account is actually yours, then I suggest that Nick or David
make a new one and move the money over.

Just losing the impetus for meetings doesn't necessarily mean that
CLUG should lose its assets ... even if it doesn't have any idea what
to use them for right now.

End of monthly meetings

2009-04-23 Thread Christopher Sawtell
Greetings CLIGgers.

Seeing how the need and interest for the monthly meetings seems to
evaporated. I have handed back my access key to the St. Albans venue
and provisionally cancelled the regular booking for the hall.

If, perchance, A.N. Other et al want to keep the meeting booking, then
they should contact the St. Abans venue management before the 5 May
2009 to resurrect the booking. Otherwise it will be given to another
group and CLUG will then return to its original form of being solely a
mail-list non-existence.

There is also the matter of a few ( hundred ? ) dollars in a bank
account for which I am the legal entity.

I am leaving the country soon, and can therefore no longer hold it.
What do we want to do with it?

We are not an incorporated society, thus there are no rules we have to
worry about if CLUG is to be wound up.

Options range from a relatively light-weight alcoholic orgy for
members, to giving it to the FSF.

Suggestions are actively sought.

Sincerely etc.

That's more like the right idea.

How about moving it to the NZOSS?
