TREASURER'S REPORT
John Adlam (Treasurer) reported that he had
reviewed the accounts to the end of February 2006, and that he
has established Internet and telephone banking facilities, as
well as a Euro account in addition to the Sterling account,
all with the Royal Bank of Scotland’s Dumfries branch.
He made four proposals:
i) To close the office of European Treasurer, close the
European account and integrate the European List of Members
with the UK one.
ii) To establish online fee payment facilities.
iii) To start double entry bookkeeping from 1/3/06.
iv) To amend the Constitution in accordance with UK law for
Associations, which require that books be kept and that they
be independently examined.
These proposals were supported by the AGM.

SECRETARY'S REPORT
Celia Taylor (Secretary) reported that at the
end of April 2006 Katy Gold would be standing down from her
role providing administrative support for the IAFP. Celia has
identified a possible replacement for one year in the first
instance, on condition that she is employed on a regular
basis, and be paid £15 per hour. This was agreed, subject to
her providing a reference.
Celia made the following
proposals for this person’s role in supporting the Secretary
and Treasurer:
i) The membership form should be modified in liaison with
Yaffa to include instructions to pay cheques to the IAFP, and
to include the full postcode of the bank.
ii) The existing database should be converted from Excel to
Access.
iii) The European members should be integrated into the UK
database.
iv) In liaison with the Treasurer, it should be established
who on the List of Members has not paid his or her fee
(whether by cheque or by standing order). Those who have not
will be written to reminding them to do so. Those who do not
after two reminders will be removed from the List.
v) Those whose membership fee has been paid by cheque will be
written to when their membership is about to expire, inviting
them to renew.
vi) All paid-up members should be sent a receipt of payment
each year.
These proposals were supported by the AGM.
