As you may or may not know Claire and myself are currently fighting Cancer. In order to help us out at this difficult time with our duties for the club, we would be very grateful if you could all go the extra mile. As Hut secretary i am asking you all to keep up the good work that you already do when visiting the Hut. At present i am not able to visit and look after the Hut as much as i would like. Could you please keep it clean and stocked with Kindling, paper and take some with you if you can. Also a general hut pack such as tea towels, matches, toilet roll and hut slippers never goes a miss. Try to keep all the work surfaces clean and don't leave any food out for the pesky mice.
Claire has asked that to help her out would you kindly put the Banking Code HF next to any payment you make so that she can easily identify what you are paying for. This will make things a lot easier for her.
All help welcomed and appreciated until normal service is resumed.
Thanks from Fred and Claire.
More and more of the clubs activities mean that club members are paying directly into our bank account. This has the potential for payments not to be recognised causing organisers and the Treasurer having a harder job trying to decipher who has paid and what for. To make the payments easier to allocate to the correct activity can we ask that all members use the code system below please.
Further codes can be set up by the Organisers for any other Events but the main ones are listed below. Thanks for your help in this.
eg. for Coach CF=Coach Fee - 05=Month then your Initial & Surname.
eg. for Annual Membership Fees AM=Annual Membership - 25=Year then your initial & surname
AM25 your initial & surname
HF05 your initial & surname
CF05 your initial & surname
SW25 your initial & surname
ScrW06 your initial & surname
AD03 your initial & surname
Sort Code 08-92-99
