As Treasurer I will receive subscriptions and all other monies and pay them into the 22 Squadron Association account, which is lodged with the Halifax Bank. I will produce a statement of account at the AGM or EGM or at any time as directed by the Chairman of the Association. I will pay out such monies as may be directed by the Chairman or as agreed by a majority vote of members at an AGM or EGM of the Association. In the absence of the Treasurer funds may be administered by the Chairman or Secretary of the Association. If you have any queries please feel free to contact me.

Mike
