Once again the financial figures are presented in the format required by the Registrar of Incorporated Societies.
Some points of note are:
- A comparison is shown between 1999 and 2000 figures.
- The term deposit and interest received from it are included in this year’s figures in a slightly different form from the 1999 year.
- Membership fees are down by about $760 but this could well be because of an increase in members in the ‘unwaged’ category.
- A loss was made on the 2000 conference.
- The financial position of the Skeptics is sound and your committee continues to take a positive interest in your financial welfare.
