Chair Report (Alan Heckman)
We'll be formalising the bye laws - these will be published on the website.
6 or 7 members of the club have been trained on a level 1 UK Ultimate Coaching course. We've seen the benefits in the coaching and beginnners sessions.
DUFFA has had a number of successful Saturday social sessions and has attended some fun tournaments including Tapasando.
Outlook is good - we feel confident we can do whatever we want with the volunteer workforce we have.
DUFFA Hat - sold out in 144 minutes.
Treasurer Report (Kevin Lucas)
Accounts available on request.
Accounts show a bit of money was spent - there was no tournament held in this period but we're not concerned as we have a large balance.
Indoors just about broke even this year.
Money is now only in the single account - we have closed the Nationwide account.
Total cash in hand £5,275
