The Future of CAN… EGM February 2010

Present situation….. Sponsorship from E.ON ended July 2009 Raised small amounts of funding Postponed annual conference Talks with Utilities, DECC and EST Enough money to run the Secretariat until end of May 2010 (full capacity) Until the end of July 2010 (half capacity)

Present situation….. No creditors Standard items are budgeted for To continue until July require £39, We will need to pay for an audit, VAT etc No charge to pay the hotel

Future of Secretariat….. No firm guarantee of sponsorship from EST Determine work priorities for March – July Legal issues and VAT returns etc which need to be completed

Proposal…. Helen and Rob both continue to work on the Secretariat until May June – July 2010 just Rob Magazine be published electronically to save costs If funding is secured for the Secretariat then preparation for the Conference 2011

Proposal…. Maximise income by adverts on the web and sponsorship Reduced costs – one full time officer, less travel Work on the conference to generate income for post May 2011
