Chairman's ChatOur Prime Minister is short of praise at present and I’m an unlikely person to come to his aid! But I will do so by thanking and complimenting him for introducing in his 2002 Budget, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, the designation of Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC). After minor changes to our constitution, covering such things as membership admission and what would happen to our funds in the event of the winding up of the club, HMHC qualified as a CASC with effect from May 2003. Since then the club has benefited very considerably by receiving
a) a rate rebate of 80% from the government with Mid Suffolk DC kindly maintaining their rebate of the other 20% and
b) ‘Gift Aid’ of 28% on all donations to the club.
The 80% rate rebate has so far benefited the club to the tune of £37500 and the ‘Gift Aid’ assistance has given us £21560 – a total of £59060 over the past five years. So ‘thank you’ Mr Brown – and I mean it!
And I take this opportunity to acknowledge the help we have received from three other MPs over recent years by them taking up matters with the government and local authorities on our behalf – namely Sir Michael Lord (Suffolk Central & Ipswich North and Deputy Speaker), Mr Richard Bacon (South Norfolk) and Dr. Ian Gibson (Norwich North). And thank you also to Mid Suffolk DC for their invaluable help by way of the 20% rate rebate. Needless to say all three MPs and Mid Suffolk DC were written to at the appropriate time.
I draw your attention to the following:
The Summer Mixed Hockey
which will once again be played on Monday nights (7.30pm)
commencing on 2 June and continuing on 16 & 30 June and concluding on 14 July.
Please bring a white and coloured shirt and £3 match fee!
