The outgoing Treaurer Andy Hamilton presented the end of year accounts to the AGM.

These were audited and approved by Dave Cockram and Brian Calladine and also signed off by ourchair. The net balance after some payments from the festival are still outstanding will be £663.56.

There was a motion raised by John Edwards the day before the AGM which was technically out of time, this was to vote on whether or not the Branch should pay for the pubs copies of the CAMRA Good Beer guide in the future.

However, as John was unable to make the meeting and therefore could not put his views over for debate, together with the fact that we wouldn't be paying for these anyway until later in the year, the Chair decided to defer this until April's Branch Meeting.

Footnote: we would like to take this opportunity of thanking Andy for his efforts as our treasurer for the last 2 years. .
