The 2007/8 accounts were approved. There was comment on the increase in Tollemach Expenses (Lancashire reached the final stages) and Delegates' expenses (first full year of claims). As there had been a significant increase in motoring costs the treasurer thought there should be a relevant increase in the 25p allowance. As this item was not on the Agenda, it was to be discussed at the next e Executive Meeting and if appropriate, it would appear at on a future AGM Agenda.

Westhead, Edge Hill and Tudor Court are no longer affiliated to Lancashire. This leaves 22 affiliated clubs all of whom have either paid their 2008/9 subscription or have made arrangements to do so.

Executive Committee Meeting Monday 3rd March 2008


There are now 22 Clubs affiliated to Lancashire, sadly total membership is down 10% at 3062. However as the annual subscription per club member was increased from 80p to £1.00 subscription revenue remains unchanged. LCBA financial situation remains sound.

All 22 clubs responded to the questionnaire about the latest version of the EBU proposal to change their method of funding. 6 Clubs said they would disaffiliate and 5 were still undecided. The EBU proposal will be amended following the national survey of clubs and the resulting proposal will be on the Agenda at the Lancashire AGM.

Following the success of the Michelle Brunner Event in 2007, the Executive intend to set up a similar event in September 2008.

Our representatives will attend the EBU Shareholders' meeting on Wednesday 4th March 2008
