Agenda item: Financial Presenter:
Jennifer is no longer with Cornbury, treasurer roles have been taken by Sharon with signatory rights with stephanie M Stephanie is under signing rights to assist with accountability as it is not prudent to have the president of an organization as the treasurer, but as it stand with our current membership, it is the best course as I find it simple for me to do as I live close to the bank and the post office.

Conclusions: Bank balances are considerably more healthy, the last 2 years of my terms I have been prudent and avoiding any extra costs. This has been a tough go for our groups and I am hoping now we can keep better control of our money now that there is accountability.
The HSBC bank cannot use the Cornbury post office for mailing, I have changed that to my own address and banking contact information.
I have also changed the contact information for the post box as the memeber who were on that are no longer with Cornbury.
