The Treasurer’s report showed that all forms of giving are below budget leaving the finances highly dependant upon successful fundraising activities.
The lawn mower required replacement and a new machine has been acquired at a cost of around £500.
Charity donations were £56.82 (Age UK) and £56.83 (Children in Distress), £50 each (The Rowans Hospice and Parkinsons UK), £319.78 (Christian Aid).
Following their meeting, Fabric and Finance Committee reported CCTV problems now fixed, and that the hall kitchen flooring is to be replaced in August.
Arrangements for Fr Colin’s Installation have been divided into two teams.
The Service team is led by Lesley and includes Ray, Rod, Adrienne and Anne. The idea of the Service team is to look at all the components of the service and ensure we include what Fr Colin wants in terms of music, vestment colours and readings, also people recommended to be included.
The Post-Service team is led by Malcolm and includes Richard, Colin, Rosemary and Jane. This team is looking into catering arrangements and is likely to include a buffet supper.
