There was nothing to report.

 

5.1 Treasurers report

5.1.1 PB has completed the forms for the revaluation of the scout hut. Accounts for the past three years were asked for and PB has explained that they can’t have any.

                                                                                                                       

5.1.2 PB has transferred reserve funds to the Standard Life internet account. This has gained the account an extra ¼%, when the old account was closed there was £353 interest paid. There can be three telephone transactions a year without charge, any more cost £50. It was agreed that a second person should have internet access to prevent this. PB will prepare notes for someone to activate this.

                                                                                                                        PB

 

5.1.3 PB has received a letter from Scottish Power who have said that their service was below their normal standard but did not say there have been problems for the past 2½ months. They have given PB a cheque for £50 for his inconvenience. PB will pay this to his own account and then gift aid it to the Hall which will lead to an extra £14. Scottish Power say that they have given the supply back to Powergen, yet Powergen do not think they have it.

This is a case for Powerwatch and Powergen have 12 days to resolve the issue.
