It is noted that there is extra income from two grants but they have been paid in since bank account opened and were dated from last year.
Notable expenses – the container.
We are on budget and broke even this year.
Cash in hand terminology queries – when audited this will be changed to something more appropiate.
Noted that £2000.00 of the surplus is reserved in case the association collapses.
PW to create a list of assets.

The allotment is being fully utilized.
We have had several successful working parties – “Danny’s” plot is now back in cultivation.
Vinny and Sarah have been putting in lots of hard work on B12.
