The Mighty 4th Ashby Scouts

Dear 4^th Ashby Members,

Thank you for the great attendance at the recent AGM; it was very pleasing to see the parental support.

We are pleased to inform you that 43 votes were submitted for the Subscription payment method, and the resounding favourite was monthly standing order, with 30 votes.

As well as discussions on subscription, rent etc at the recent committee meetings, we have also been working towards standardising banking for the group, and opening a new account. Unfortunately, this has turned out to be more bureaucratic than we had first hoped, and we will not have the new account up and running for the 1^st of June. Rather than have standing orders set up for one account, and then change them a month or two later, we would like to ask everyone to start with the new £9 a month subs from the 1^st of June, but to pay by cheque or cash until the account is set up. At this point, we will issue a letter to everyone with a standing order form to complete.

The leaders and committee appreciate your understanding in this matter, and would ask if the first £9 cheque/cash can be paid the first week back after half term, Thursday 4^th June, in an envelope with your child’s name on. The next monthly payment due will be Thursday 3^rd July, by which point we will hopefully have more news for you.

Thanks again to everyone who voted and attended the AGM.
