Treasurer’s Report
Distributed by Syd.
Syd was pleased to report that the village hall now continues to have a positive balance for the year of £908.75. Bar stock levels also approx £200 more than at the beginning of the year.
Syd supplied prices before a discussion on which card reader to purchase for debit/credit card payments. Supplied by Solo or Square, Syd to visit sellers and purchase the most suitable system.
A Villager had requested for there to be free entry at Friday night dances for those who wish to use the bar only, it was decided this would not be fair on the paying customers and could be taken advantage of, so the committee decided not to implement this idea, and continue as previous.
