In preparation for our upcoming Annual General Meeting in July, we would like to invite any of you who might like to undertake a role organising our friendly Group to consider joining our Committee to get in touch.

In particular, at this time we are hoping to find someone to act as our Treasurer as our long-standing incumbent is stepping down. This is a very important role within our Group, one without which we couldn’t function, but isn’t necessarily as daunting as the title suggests; a bit of information about the role follows.

You don’t need to be an accountant to take on the role of Treasurer for our group. The treasurer’s role includes just keeping records of all Income received, mainly membership renewals, and Expenditure paid out, predominantly room hire costs and paying any speaker fees.

Currently all records are recorded onto an Excel spreadsheet which is easy to maintain and update. Also, as our group is a registered Charity, annually a Gift Aid claim is submitted by the Treasurer.

The current Treasure would be happy to make himself available to give help and advice about the role where needed.

Upon taking on the Treasurer’s role you would join our friendly Committee members who meet on a monthly basis at Newnham clubroom.

If you would like any further information or have any questions, and especially if you feel you would like to join us, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
