TREASURER’S COMMENTS ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR 2019
The Corona virus lock-down and the cancellation of the London Map fair means that it will not be possible to hold a physical Annual General Meeting this year. Arrangements may be possible for a virtual meeting which will be advised separately.
Our income has fallen slightly with a drop of £1,100 in advertising and a loss of a dozen members.
Eighteen months ago, when planning for 2019, there were plans for publicity, rationalisation of our archives and for restoring our volume of the Africa Pilot which did not come to fruition. As a result of these changes our actual expenditure has reduced by about £4,000. we have also benefited from having come to the end of the amortisation period (36 months) of our computer and software installations in 2016. these are working satisfactorily and no major expenditure is envisaged in 2020.
Our cash reserves remain strong and we should be able to weather the vicissitudes of COVID-19.
Jeremy Edwards
Treasurer
