The latest electricity invoice has just been received from Findrack:
No surprises - much as expected, and similar to the same time last year. I know hardly anyone has played in this period, but the cost is only 46p per day, which is a very small price to pay to have open access to the facility.
I'll pay this bill and this will leave £792 in the kitty to cover costs for season 2010-11. This should just about be enough to meet our electricity costs, but, if there are any other costs - repairs etc - there may have to be a separate cash call.
This will be the 3rd season I've been acting as treasurer for the as yet non-existent DSRC. I had originally hoped that, by now, we would have a proper club up and running and there would have been some progress on new courts, but, as everyone knows, plans have been thwarted. I am happy to continue in my unofficial role for the time being, but it would be appropriate for me to again display the revenue and expenditure to date:
- Subs - 2008/09 - £790
- Subs - 2009/10 - £870
- Subs - 2010/11 - £650 (to date) *
- Additional one-of collection for Andrew's excess fuel costs - £420
- Total revenue collected to date = £2,730
Expenditure so far has been:
- Electricity - 2008/09 - £629
- Electricity - 2009/10 - £403
- Plumber - 2009/10 - £362
- One-of contribution for Andrew's prior excess costs - £500
- Electricity - 2010/11 - £44
- Total expenditure to date = £1,938
* Subs collected to date for the 2010/11 season have come from:
- Ken Black
- Keith Gray
- Malcolm Grigor
- Gordon Moir
- Hugh Riches
- Harry Salter
- Ian Stewart
- Rob Sutherland
- Dick Taylor
- Keith Thomson
- Bill Whyman
- Dave Williamson
- Neil Young
Additionally, Richard Simcox will be contributing, but he has been travelling so much recently and I haven't managed to catch up with him yet. I am hopeful too that both Jas Bhagrath, who has now recovered from his hip replacement, and Dan Corbett, who has returned to live in Banchory, will be joining us for regular doubles squash and will make the appropriate contributions in due course.
Lastly, I still have not been up to fix the new parts for the shower door, but I'll get round to it eventually!
