Treasurers report for the year 
ending 30th of June 2021
Another difficult and unusual financial year. It is to be hoped there will be some opportunity to get back to normal in the following financial year.
The opening balance at 1 July 2020 was £3129.18 p.
Since then the income for this financial year is as follows: –
•	subscriptions from 43 members                                    £645.00
•	quota from HA                                                 £224.00
•	donation                                                       £20.00
•	conference                                                     £24.00
Total                                                               £913.00
Unfortunately our other usual sources of income such as books, refreshments and outings were impossible due to pandemic conditions. This is compared to the income for the last financial year of £1209.46
The expenditure was as follows:-
•	web hosting                                                  £214.92
•	lecturers expenses                                             £125.00
•	publicity                                                      £50.00
•	donation                                                     £129.96
              Total                                                £519.92
We therefore have a profit of £393.08 which considering everything is quite remarkable and in large part given to the arrangement of lectures online. As at 20 August 2021 we are in credit with the bank at £3517.26 p.
There appears to be no need to increase the £15 membership fee at this stage although I suspect we may have to continue some of our meetings both face-to-face and on line. 
Once again I would like to thank our auditor Colin Easton for his hard work in auditing the accounts. I propose supplying him with several bottles of wine as thanks.
