Anand, again, it was to explain to people that being a treasurer is not
that hard. I disagreed with the statement that you needed to be an
accountant, which was what was said at one AGM. If some one can keep
track of cash flow on a monthly basis and hound people for receipts of
expenditure, the organisation can pay an accountant to prepare the year
end stuff, if really needed.

I will put another page up under my Linux HOW-TO area. If someone wants
to pass it onto LDP, then they can.

Basically all activities are reported under the Maclug pages
(http://www.woa.com.au/maclug - but I'm two behind).
All expenses to date have been covered by WOA Computer Services under
the advertising budget, although I've received $20 in day fees and Mark
Willis brought along a wonderful Sticky Date thing one time.
There has been no memberships sold as I just encourage people to go to a
SLUG meeting and sign up. Most people are already Slug members.
