The Treasurer's Disclaimer: The numbers below have been calculated in a quick way and have not undergone robust checking as for an Annual Report.
A fairly even month where our income coveres our costs, including some small infrstructure projects like courtyard lighting and misters.
Some new members are not getting the message to pay on the anniversary of their joining, and are needing to be followed up. Many are also not using their payment codes, which makes processing their payments more time consuming.
Fletcher is working towards setting up Xero to manage our finances, which should make life a lot easier.
