163. Finance, Membership & General Purposes Committee

Earlier today I chaired my last meeting as Chairman of the Finance, Membership & General Purposes Committee – Mike Williamson will take on this role for the next 12 months, once he is installed as Master on 6th July.

The meeting was held in the Aldermans Court Room at the Guildhall and the Agenda included a report from the Masters Committee, a Membership report from our Clerk, and a Finance report presented by our Honorary Treasurer and our Clerk. We were delighted to note that the current financial year (ending July 2017) showed a surplus as a result of the good budgeting and support from our Members and their guests at both our formal and informal events during the year.

I took the opportunity to thank the Members of the FM & GP Committee for all their support in making a successful year of 2016/17 and wishing Mike Williamson every success for his forthcoming year as Master.
