Club Treasurer
Regrettably Sally, our current Club Treasurer has given notice that she will stand down from the role at the Annual General Meeting later this year. Sally kindly stepped into the role when the previous Treasurer resigned without giving any notice and has done a fantastic job. As a result we need someone to volunteer to take on this essential role. It is almost impossible for the club to operate without a Treasurer! By giving notice, Sally has ensured there can be a hand-over period.
The role of Treasurer is defined in the Club Constitution as:
a) To be the financial point-of-contact for all Club activities and signatory for all bank payments in accordance with the following limitation: all expenditure above £200 must be approved by 50% of the Committee BEFORE the expenditure is committed to; such approval may be given by email to the Treasurer, who will indicate the response time frame.
b) To maintain the Club’s accounts and produce an income and expenditure account for review at the Annual General Meeting.
c) To report on the Club’s finances at each Committee Meeting and assist with decision making regarding financial implications of running the club and its activities.
d) To bring to the attention of the Committee at the earliest opportunity any issues of concern relating to the Club’s accounts or financial position.
e) To manage the finances of the club; to pay all bills and all the Club’s membership and affiliation fees to cycling bodies such as CTT, BC and any other local/national association as agreed by the Committee as they fall due, and to bank income as it arises.
The Club currently banks with Lloyds and the Treasurer will have online access. Most transactions are carried out online. Accounting details are kept on Googlesheets spreadsheets. Ideally you will have a working understanding of spreadsheets, but do not need detail knowledge.
If you wish to find out more about what is involved, please speak with either Geoff, myself, Sally or Mike Smith.
As I said at the start, it would be very difficult for the Club to operate if no one steps forward!
