5 is the number of acres we rent from Caerhys Farm.
10 is the number of volunteers who make up the ‘core group’ that run COCA.
52 is the number of member households that share the harvest every week.
0 is the number of people we have who keep on top of our accounts, yes that was zero!
If you have read this much, then maybe you have a liking for numbers and could help us as we try and find a book-keeper to keep on top of our accounts. In return we offer you a weekly share of the harvest. Our treasurer resigned after two years valued service at April’s AGM and we were unable to find someone to replace him at the meeting. The treasurer role can be broken down as follows:
1. Check each month the income received from members
2. Pay in cheques and cash to the account via the Post Office
3. Make payments as necessary to suppliers
4. Check bank statements as they are received
5. Record all transactions on a monthly spreadsheet
6. Provide a breakdown each month of income and expenditure by various categories
7. Liaise with the Membership Secretary to keep track of new and departing members
8. Draw up a yearly report for Corporation Tax liability in consultation with our accountant
All of the spreadsheets have previously been setup so there is no need to reinvent the wheel! If you can help us in any way then please get in touch with Dave Thomas by email [email protected]
Thanks
