24th March 2022

Font

 

Update

 

Still trying to settle debts from this year’s cancelled trip. Received invoice from Gite with value to pay but no information as to how to pay. SU need more information in order to pay this amount.

Gite owners to send an email with additional information yesterday – EW still waiting on email.

 

Estimate is £442 outstanding from this year. If include deposit for next years trip, this totals ~£748.

 

Doubts as to whether trip next year will go ahead so hesitation on whether to pay deposit. To be discussed with next year’s committee as well.
 

Also change in SU finance policy. Previous policy (taking Font and the years 2022 and 2023 as the example) was that the deposit for Font 2023 would come out of the 2022 budget (i.e. paid in advance and show as such on the books). Change is that the deposit would now come out of the budget for the year of the activity. So the deposit for Font 2023 would come out of 2022/23 Budget (whereas before it would have come from 21/22 budget). So could pay for this now but would not show on the books until the next budget comes through. Fundamentally, because these trips (Fresher’s, Peaks, Xmas, Font) are budgeted for each year there is no major difference to how the club will function, but this is a major change the SU have failed to highlight to us.

 

Because of extra money this year, could possibly send back and get it rolled over to next years budget to help with this adjustment. FL to find out if this is possible.

Remaining budget

 

Update

 

£84 left in gear budget – this is set aside to cover issue with t-shirts (see club stash)
~£300 rolled over from last years budget. Some of this is covering unexpected MPV cost of summer trip.
Due to change in SU Finance policy now have extra from money that was set aside for deposits. Unclear what plan was – possibly to try and send back and get rolled over.

Insurance money still needs ton be sorted.

Money from BritRock sales – money all spent. Went towards compasses and the trad rack made up of Jesse’s gear donation.
