  Topic Action
1. All Matters Arising from the Previous Minutes  
  All such matters were deferred to the next meeting.  
2. Finances  
  MD tabled the final monthly spreadsheet of current expenditure. It was observed that our regular income was up on the previous year even allowing for a one-off donation to our funds. It was also observed that our expenditure fell £7,000 short of our budgetary expectations allowing for a slightly more expansive year ahead.  
  The budget sheet was discussed at length taking into account all the requests received from the congregations and the normal expectations of regular expenditure. A spreadsheet was prepared.  
  The Various interest groups used their money well and presented useful budgetary requests for 2006.
