Notes:

1 Opening balances:
The Guild operates 2 bank accounts, one for the General Fund and the other (which incurs interest) for the Bell Fund.

2 Subscriptions:
The total membership for 2013 was 174. This includes 5 Life members, 9 who paid in 2012 and 2 who have paid for 2014 as well. 5 new members were elected at the 2013 AGM, but as these had not paid subs in 2013 they are not included.

3 Newsletters:
Covers cost of printing Newsletters. £208.65 was carried from 2012 & £81.66 is carried into 2014 for unused inks and paper. The 2 printers purchased by the Guild were written off in 2013 at a cost of £91.25. The true printing cost of the FSG printing for 2013 was £424.53.

4 Bell Fund:
The Committee decided that all the profit from Teas, Raffles etc and Newsletter advertising income would go into the Bell Fund, together with any interest generated by the account. In December 2013 the committee approved grants to Dumbleton (£350) and Whichford (£150); to be paid in 2014.
