Notes on the Formation meeting of the DVHA held at the Puddletown Village Hall on 12^th March 2005

We have lift off!!!

The Association conducts its business in open way but as committee members are only present at committee meetings the minutes are published in full for all members to see. You can add comments on any of the issues discussed by using the 'Add new comment' link on each page.

What have you done that has worked for you (or perhaps went in to the shape of a very well developed pear!)? Tell us about your practical solutions ...

This section of the Knowledge Base is all about money! This area is most likely to interest hall treasurers and we hope it will add to good practice in record keeping, audit, cash handling systems, banking and investment options, insurance, sources of capital funding, Charity Commission requirements, computer bookkeeping programmes, uses for spreadsheets, setting hire charges, budgeting, depreciation calculations, and much more ...
