Thanks for all your comments, Yes we have a small members only shop, also an openday, and other social fundraising activity also a yearly membership and a plot fee , ( for maintenance and fuel for mowers / tillers / strimmers) we get 25% discount from council for collecting rents, also sell young plants . lots of transactions. the committee have broken down the treasurers work into separate responsibility like Bluecar suggested, the treasure is just keeping the accounts, does not want to attend meetings just presents a comprehensive financial report, ( has give up the plot ) the £5k is turnover not profit !
