Financial Year End

A reminder that our financial year ends on 31st October 2017. Please ensure that all outstanding expense claims and invoices for the 2016/17 financial year are forwarded to me in good time to be paid within the financial year. If you are authorising work to be done by a contractor and the work will be complete but not invoiced before our financial year ends, please provide me with estimated costs so I can accrue into the year end accounts.

Trustees of the proposed CIO, the Chairman/Vice-Commodore and I recently had a very productive discussion with the Charity Commission staff about our application to register as a charity.
