work exceptionally hard at “HQ”. They keep our paperwork under control and make sure that RAIBC runs reasonably smoothly. Andrew Thomas G8GNI makes sure that we are solvent and I think the external examiners comments say it all. Thanks for doing such a sterling job Andrew. So what of the future? The committee is considering some major, even root and branch, changes to the RAIBC. We desperately want to provide a good level of service for the members but we need to care for our own health and sanity at the same time. Any decisions we make will always be taken with the best interests of the RAIBC at heart. Can I also take this opportunity to thank the Lincoln Shortwave Club and in particular Clive Catton G1BSN for their continued help and hospitality at the National Hamfest. It is an excellent event and venue and I am sure we have all enjoyed it. Yet again can I pass my thanks on to my fellow committee members who work so hard to care for the RAIBC and its membership. Can I also thank the members for continuing to put their confidence in us the trustees. We will do our best to continue to be worthy of your confidence. Thank you. 16
4.2 Treasurers and External Examiners report - Dr Andrew Thomas – G8GNI / M5AEX Treasurers Report for year ending 31 st March 2010 My focus again for this year was to ensure that the charity income and expenditure were fully transparent, that all expenditure was authorised and that we had the minimum of missing receipts. We did have a few receipts go missing, but these accounted for less than 3% of our annual transactions. The accounts have been audited by David Rose, an independent examiner. He has signed off the accounts and has made no adverse comments, nor recommendations for change. Indeed, in his covering letter he states: “Once again, although there are missing receipts your accounting procedures in authorising all payment and having two signatories for all cheques drawn means that this has no significant impact on the veracity or otherwise of the accounts and I am happy to enclose the report”. We began the year with financial assets of £178,273.02, ending the year with 180,472.67 (1% up on the previous year). £164,329.19 of this (91%) is held in interest bearing accounts; the remainder is in our bank accounts and PayPal account for day-to-day working. Excluding bank refunds on unauthorised direct debits our total income for the year was £26,066.44, up just under £5,000 on the previous year. This was primarily made up of rally and equipment sales, donations and membership subscriptions. Equipment sales and rally income made up a very considerable portion of the charity’s income - £13,631.48 (52%) – a very big thank you to everyone involved. The charity also continued to attract substantial levels of donations – this year totalling 17
