2.0       Financial Review

 Alan provided the Club accounts for 2006.  This showed a positive cash flow for the year.  Subscriptions, various kitty residues and interest on capital provided the only income totalling £484.09.  The outgoings comprised the activity subsidy of £400.  Once again financial prudence on the part of the treasurer has resulted in an increased end of year balance of £84.09 compared to that of 2005 where the end of year balance was £43.05.

   

3.0       Subscription

 Subscriptions were held at £50 for the third year and Alan duly collected these from the members

4.0       New Years Eve 2006

 The ‘Vive La France ’ evening was proclaimed as a great success.  Well done to all that contributed to an evening of gastronomy, intellect and music. The food was excellent and the games / quizzes were both entertaining and challenging.  The confetti canon, balloon and knees up were to the expected traditional FMCC NYE standards.  An altogether memorable evening and all at £19.11 per head!
