SAM: The main point for being here is to set up the bnak account. I have two grand in my savings account which needs protecting in case I die. Also it would be nice to not rely on trusting me to not spend it all on beer. To set up a bank account we need to set up a society. In order to do this we need a constitution which defines what the society is/does/membership and decision processes. Then we need a committee consisting of at least Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. = Treasurer Reports =

''At this point, we discussed the constitution; the details of which are below.''

SAM: The first AGM is defined to be on the 20th August 2005
