1. Transfer of Duties

2. 2007 Accounts
The 2007 Accounts have now been signed off by the Auditors, Mazars LLP. There have been one major change from the accounts submitted, as it appears that the cash position for 2006 was understated by around £3,000. This means that the Auditors have adjusted this by increases "Incoming Resources" by the same amount.

Income in 2007, fell by around £2,000, (after adjusting for the above). The reduction in the sale of goods was responsible for this. Membership has remained in line with the previous year.

In the year, bursaries totalling £520 were given to clubs training assistant teachers. These bursaries will continue in 2008.
