Matt wanted to thank Kieron, Mike Vickers, Jim and Georgina for their input towards the budget paper, which the most important is the playing budget. Matt asked for the board to sign off the budget. This was unanimously agreed by all members of the board.
Will need to look at two of our main incomes (Boost the Budget and Season tickets). Review of the budget throughout the year is essential
