Finances

[John McKerrell]

It's quite possible that you've heard this through other media but just in case anyone isn't aware, our financial situation continues to be very poor. You may have seen that Adrian has been updating the "Cost of Being Epic" poster which shows this somewhat, I've also put together some charts showing where our income comes from in case that's helpful. While it seemed like the difference between income and outgoings dropped recently on Adrian's poster we have unfortunately had a permanent desker move away which will of course have a big impact that doesn't show up there. There's a few links here that are enlightening:

I realise it's not the best time of year to be asking for money but if anyone is aware that they have an invoice or payment that is overdue with DoES it would be really helpful if you could pay it sooner than later, if possible telling us that you've made the payment (by emailing acco...@doesliverpool.com ) would also be great as it would let us know that we can go ahead and pay some of our outstanding bills.

Other than that just continuing to let people know what a fantastic space we have and doing whatever we can to get more people to join up as members would be great!

Thanks for reading,

John
