Finances and Meeting Minutes

[John McKerrell]

I've generated the financials report for May ahead of this weekend's community meeting:

Things are still not great. Last month we had an annual water rates bill for £570 which really didn't help. The report suggests we made a £900 profit which sounds lovely but then we also have £1500 unpaid invoices from then which obviously takes us the other way. It's still relatively early in June of course and there's at least one large invoice for £600 which I wouldn't particularly have expected to be paid yet but if you have an invoice that you've been meaning to pay, please do! Also if you're getting reminder emails for something you thought you had already paid please get in touch, it might just need to be connected up properly. If you have an invoice you don't think you will be able to pay then please do get in touch with us to discuss.

At the end of last month we still had a rent and service charge bill outstanding, I think this was the first time we didn't manage to pay our monthly bills before the next lot arrived, this is particularly worrying as these will continue to mount if we don't get them paid. We have now paid the rent and have the money to cover the service charge but of course June's bills have now turned up.

As mentioned it's the community meeting on Sunday so we look forward to seeing you there, I've also updated the page of Directors meeting minutes while I was in the wiki..
