Extra page (1) re: GCCF

Dear Members

As our AGM and magazine have now gone and I know some of our members were unhappy about the fixed prefix maintenance fee of £15 +vat I thought I would email you to keep you informed of the outcome you can see a letter on the GCCF web site but like most things you may already know this. It seems from the GCCF Accountant Adrian Wood of O’Hara Wood that unless they can raise a lot of money by the beginning of next year there will not be a GCCF and I am sure no one would like to see it go under after a 100 years . Over the past few years they have lost money on the Supreme but looking at the accounts it seems more money has been wasted on disciplinary.

The income for disciplinary 2008 £2,169                     Income for Supreme show 2008 £162.671

Expenditure for 2008 £46.646                              Expenditure for 2008 £211,943

Deficit of £44,477                                               Deficit of £49.272

Do they need to keep Disciplinary?  And could the Supreme show be every other year?

If you have any thoughts please let me know by the next meeting in October.
