| 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. | The current committee are (as of the election at the 2011 AGM): |

| DS then called for nominations for the committee. By unanimous agreement the committee is defined as: | Debian UK used to have a bank account with the Co-operative Bank to hold society funds. Over the course of a few years, we were hit by multiple incidents involving fraudulent Direct Debits being set up on the account. Despite calls to various people in the relevant teams at the Co-operative with them promising to permanently block '''all''' Direct Debit requests, they failed to manage this simple thing and could not explain why. |

| * Chairperson: Phil Hands * Secretary: Vince Sanders * Treasurer: Steve McIntyre |
Due to this obvious incompetence, Debian UK is no longer a customer of the Co-operative Bank. It seems keeping bank notes in a sock would be a safer option for our money. There used to be details of the bank account here, but they have now been removed to stop anybody trying to use them in future. If you want to send money, mail me (Steve, details above). |
