Our cash bank balance on 24/8/2017 was £3,136.47. We made one payment in July for £229 for our insurance. There are two cheques outstanding, one to a debt collector, Scott and Co, acting on behalf of Edinburgh City Council, which is for £50. It's a payment made every three years relating to Joppa Tennis Courts, which I suspect may be rent. I strongly suspect that we have received the £50 from Joppa Tennis Courts so I have paid it. The other outstanding cheque is for £101, which is the Town Hall hire for the hustings.

There were two receipts in August. One was from Edinburgh Council for £906 (annual grant) and the other is for £876, which is from the High Street traders for the lighting fund. The previous balance of the lighting fund was £385 bringing the new total to £1,258.

This leaves us with a net balance of £2,985 less the lighting fund i.e. £1,727.

I now have access to view the bank account online and hope to be able to make payments shortly.
