AT THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE BC  AGM THE TREASURER IS ASKED TO DO SOME EXPLAINING.......

- As an ordinary member I'm concerned that £42,608 has been spent on miscellaneous 
   expenses , which is up from last year's figure of £20, 520. I insist on knowing what this 
   spending includes ? 
-  Well....in a club like ours there are jobs to be done.....and people who are expected to
   carry them out need financial incentives. These are to ensure that the jobs are done quickly,
   efficiently and correctly.....often with no questions asked. Committee members have of course
   put in a great deal of effort , energy and time to see jobs through, and in many cases deserve
   to be rewarded. Moreover , certain jobs can only be done at a price !
- Yes....yes...but what the hell was this £42,608 actually spent on ?
- Please allow me to put it this way. That modest figure included perks , back-handers , bribes ,
  sweeteners , tips , extras , hush money payments , kick-backs , inducements , bonuses , 
  add-ons , over-and-above supplementaries ,  commission , frostings , and gratuities 
- You haven't answered my question......What services were purchased with this money ?
- You want a list ?
- Yes 
- A detailed list 
- Yes
- Well , first off.... jollies for the committee members don't come cheap. Then there are crippling
  legal bills which have to be paid for......not to mention the ongoing costs of removing
  mysterious deposits of elephant dung which keep popping up during the committee meetings.
  Add to that the money spent on the maintenance and upgrading of our surveillance of unruly ,
  dissident members....and we've already accounted for £30,000 plus
- What...you mean there are other hefty miscellaneous expenses ?
- Indeed.....the committee blew £2000 on a bulk purchase of lottery tickets hoping to win big 
  money in a desperate attempt to repay outstanding loans. Then another few thousand was
  spent on the production and storage of dossiers , which were kept on all club members the
  committee considered as undesirable.
- I'm shocked and appalled ......
- All expenditure like this is best kept under wraps.......as with the gerrymandering costs of  
  rigging AGM voting , involving bribes and transport expenses..... in order to get obliging 
  members to elect the right people onto committee.....and to back their draconian  proposals
- Oh my God.....
- And let's not forget the money shelled out in converting the flower beds in the club's grounds
  into hidden away burial plots....... indeed , landscapers and fully grown privet bushes don't 
  come cheap 
- I think you answered my question....thank you
- And I think you're your name has just been assigned to one of those plots
