Return of Collection Boxes
With the final League matches completed, it's time to remind everyone to tally up the donations in their respective charity collection boxes and forward those totals to the League either in the form of cash to any member of the Committee or via BACS transfer straight into the League's account .. Obviously, these monies play a major role in determining this year's level of contribution to our chosen charity at LOROS. Therefore, please make every effort to complete this task in a timely manner to ensure the Committee can forward this year's donation before the close of the season in early May.
Team Registration and Subs - 2024-25 Season
We can now confirm that the final outstanding subscription for this season has been received .. thanks to all teams for their co-operation in this matter .. with reduced income from losing teams over the Summer these monies are vital to the financial wellbeing of the League and its continued existence.
Auditing of the Accounts
Treasurer, Mike James, has asked me to enquire if there is anyone out there among the skittles community that is both capable and willing to audit the accounts for the last season .. whilst not necessarily a legal requirement, we do like to keep things transparent and in order for both the current and future administrative officers of the League ... please contact a committee member if you are able to help in this matter.
Chris Buxton
Chairman, Syston & District Skittle League
Please see below a copy of a letter we have received from LOROS and two Donation Certificates - thanks to everyone !
