Treasurer's Report

TREASURER'S REPORT  FOR    THE WINE AND FOOD SOCIETY OF BALLARAT

The Society remains financially secure and viable   

Cellar fees of $6000 and Dinner fees of $26590 show in increase in revenue of $4790 due to higher attendance numbers    I would like to recommend keeping dinner and guest fees the same as last year  but increase the cellar fees marginally from $300 to $330 to allow our cellarmaster to continue to purchase quality wines   Last years wine purchase  by Jim Patterson totaled $8112   slightly down from the previous year

 Catering costs  have been $21829  on a par with  the previous year as do  other payments  for insurance and Australian wine and food society membership

 The Accounts have been audited by our honorary auditor Mr John Twomey
