Income from subs, donations and newsletter ads for 2019/20 was £475, a decrease since last year due to less subs receipts and ad/sponsorship income.

However, expenditure was somewhat less than the previous year there being no fees for web hosting and web domain renewal which was covered for 2 years by last year’s payment and no cost for printing AGM publicity materials which were produced by a committee member.

Following our proposal last year it is now possible for sub donation payments to be made online to:-
