ADDENDUM TO MINUTES 21st May 2019
Alison Dabner contacted John Simpson from Montpelier regarding queries pointed out on Annual Accounts at AGM :‐
The first being mentioned by Andrew Gladstone in to reduce the Dickie Wood project spend to £850.00 and show separately the £540.00 spent on the Bus Depot survey. Somehow these had been amalgamated even though they are separate on AD records.
The second is to change the driver feedback signs windfarm fund from Kilgallioch to Glen Chambers as that is who funded that particular project.
