- Treasurer’s Report
February 2019 – BYCC account shows a profit of approximately £530 for the month having paid Wightfire, BT and a petty cash top up. CIC account shows a loss of approximately £1000 for the month. All wages are paid by CIC and Treasurer predicts a quiet month for the CIC in March. Expenditure in March for the BYCC includes fireworks invoice of £1350 and electricity costs of approximately £700. Treasurer is continuing to have an ongoing dispute with PRS/PPL.
Both accounts totalling approximately £34,500 (£10,000 in restricted funds for MUGA) and Treasurer predicts year end will show overall loss of approximately £4000 considering architects costs of approximately £2500 in 2018/19 and increase of centre manager’s wages.
