We've now had the bill for electricity for the quarter to March and it's come in a bit higher than expected at £181.65. I've paid this bill and this has now put our funds into the red by £119.
I understand that the electrician has been out to look at the heaters, but I haven't had any feedback yet. We had 10 people who were willing to pay to repair them or install new heaters, subject to cost, but, as we don't know how much the bill for this is likely to be, then I suggest the current cash call should just be for the usual £50 per head. Please transfer to my account.
The amount collected should cover the current deficit and, hopefully, the electricity bills up to nearly the end of the year. The last cash call was in June last year and this included the cost of replacing the shower door. The previous cash call was 2 years before that in 2010.

Findrack electricity/finances
Always best viewed directly at http://deesidesquashracquetballclub.blogspot.com/
I've received the latest electricity bill for the quarter to December and although it's higher than the same time last year, it's not much more than the previous quarter at £166.46. Fuel costs have risen dramatically over the last couple of years, but our total annual cost of electricity for the whole of 2012 was £456, which compared with £425 the previous year, so it's been a fairly modest increase that we've had to bear.
I've now paid this bill, which takes the funds in hand down to just £63, which is probably about the amount we have consumed since the latest bill was made up (to 21st December), so we now need to consider raising more cash.
If all the current users are prepared to stump up another £50 per head, this will generate sufficient cash to cover the electricity costs for another 12 months approx. (but not anything else). Please confirm - or otherwise - that you are prepared to continue to pay this. (The last cash call was back in June, 2012).
If we are to continue at Findrack, it was recently suggested that perhaps we might put an extra heater or two in. This would probably cost an additional £50 per head or so. Before approaching Andrew for permission to do this, could we please have some feedback on whether everyone would be prepared to pay for this?
Here's the latest bill, fyi:

Yes, we still have a team competing in the Grampian Squash Leagues - they are currently 2nd in Division 4, with 2 matches in hand which would take them to the top of the table if they won them.

Findrack electricity
From http://deesidesquashracquetballclub.blogspot.com/
Latest quarterly bill just received:
Higher than the previous quarter, but virtually identical to the same time last year. The rate is fractionally down. I've paid this today, so that takes the remaining funds down to £229, which should be enough to survive the winter, assuming the consumption pattern is similar to last year.

No, it's not Les and Dick coming out of retirement, but my thanks go to Gordon for bringing this event to my attention - http://www.legendsofsquash.com/Legends_of_Squash___Aberdeen.html
Peter Nicol and some old rivals coming back to ASRC 21-23 September. Gordon is planning to go on Saturday afternoon. Anyone else going along?

Electricity bill + subs update
From http://deesidesquashracquetballclub.blogspot.com/
The latest bill has been received from Findrack, covering the quarter to 14th June, 2012:
The sharp-eyed amongst you may note a minor calculation error above, but I'm not making a fuss about a few pence. The units used are almost 30% lower than at the same time last year and the unit rate has been virtually the same since we started in 2009.
I have collected a total of 10 "subs" to date - Gray, Grigor, Page, Salter, Simcox, Stewart, Thomson, Whyman, Williamson and Young - don't know if there's any more to come or not, but, after paying this bill, the remaining balance is now £379, which will hopefully see us through this coming winter.

Finance update
From http://deesidesquashracquetballclub.blogspot.com/
The latest quarterly electricity bill has just been received from Findrack:
The bill is much the same as the previous quarter and is actually lower than previous years at this time. I've paid this today and this leaves £115 in the kitty, which should cover the next electricity bill. After that, however, I'll need to make a further cash call - which will be the first for 2 years.
