2.      Approval of the accounts for 2008/09:  The meeting was chaired by AMJ.  SW explained the accounts.  He explained that the clerk’s wages were £1500 over the financial year, due to late payments.  SCK went through the explanation of variances and statement of accounts, highlighting the £250 income from sale of the portion of car park and £150 from sale of footpath leaflets.  These had both contributed to exceeding the 15% change.  Also the staff costs had exceeded the 15% because the clerk had been paid arrears and had a pay increase.  Other expenses included the hiring of two skips, the two new village noticeboards, adding web pages to the website.  These amounted to £1675 compared to £604 the previous year.  The value of the car park was left at £15K.  The statement of accounts was read out, agreed unanimously and signed as true and correct.  Notice of the accounts can be viewed on the noticeboards.
