Report
In summary, our balance is about the same as last year. Most of our funds went out to maintain our web pages and other services. We have sufficient funds to back one or more campaigns, depending on how serious they are, or perhaps one by-election. However, we could not field candidates in any number in an election without some serious fundraising. We have received membership donations to bolster our funds, and I do appreciate the ongoing support of members to keep the machine ticking over. There is still much we can do to remain relevant outside of an election, and I hope we will be able continue doing that.
