Vincent explained that the previous meetings' minutes are available on line. Everyone approved the minutes Steve Mc''''''Intyre delivered the treasurer's report. In summary, UKP 3666.34 is in the bank account, we have approximately UKP 2400 of stock. A fully detailed report will be made available to anyone who requests it from the treasurer. This report was accepted by everyone present. The current committee was then reelected by unanimous vote. The secretary called for any other business. Scott James Remnant brought up a proposal that Debian-UK should be involved in the funding for the BBQ meet. Everyone agreed that the net difference between collected funds and used funds for the Debian-UK BBQ will either go to or come from the Debian-UK funds. At 19:06, Phil Hands declares the meeting closed. |
