[Drama-Committee] Re: Accounts and stuff

30 May '07

Hey everybody, Just to let y'all know that the accounts have been sent in. I forwarded you all on a copy. Since the last statement, we've received about €290 more in sponsorship. Liana is still following up Daiwa (€800) and Ulster Bank (€200 I think). Steve, if you get a chance, will you lodge the €35 from the last Hoodie? Jenny, I'm gonna bring all the statements and stuff into my new house in town next week. Feel free to drop in at any stage and we can have a chat about all things finance related (I apologise in advance. It may be slightly epic.) Fiona (if you're on this list...) I haven't had a chance to look through your e-mail yet. I'll get back to you ASAP. Finally, everybody check out this link. It's Ciaran Gray of 'Shake Ya Tailfeather' fame: http://www.rte.ie/arts/2007/0530/oconnorpj.html Maybe Susan Bourke could text him to pass on our congratulations? This might well be my last committee e-mail so I'd just like to say much love to committee 06/07 and a big slurpy good luck to committee 07/08. Joey -- msn: joeykavanagh(a)gmail.com ph: 085 7322 505

[Drama-Committee] Drama Accounts
by DCU Drama Treasurer 30 May '07

30 May '07

Hi Siobhan, Please find attached the most recent accounts of DCU Drama Society for the academic year 06/07. It is my belief that these accounts provide a true and fair representation of the society's current financial standing. I have left supplementary documentation relating to the accounts on your desk. If it would be possible to pick up the most recent chequebook at some stage to pass on to the incoming Treasurer, Jennifer Tweed, I'd be extremely grateful. Please feel free to contact me at 0857322505 or at this e-mail if there are any problems. Kind regards, Joseph Kavanagh DCU Drama Treasurer 06/07

[Drama-Committee] Accounts
by Joey Kavanagh 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi everybody, Well, I've finally managed to get my head around the accounts. I've attached the most recent copy (although i will be updating it when i get a look at this week's statement). Basically, at last count, we had about €7150 in the bank, with about €6250 of cheques left to be cashed. When you combine this with approx €500 in lodgements yet to come through (hoodies, sponsorship, bag-pack, six semesters funding from SPC) and cheques of approximately €1500 for musical performance rights and €500 for the musical set, we're looking at a negative balance of approx €500. However, taking into account that we're still owed €1300 in musical sponsorship, we'll hopefully end up with a balance in and around +€800 to begin the new year. Pretty much every event this year made a profit (ranging from about €7 from King Lear to about €700 from Vagina Monologues). The musical was the only event to run a substantial loss. Totting up the figures, it looks like the total loss was in the region of €5000. I'm a little surprised by this myself but I don't think it should take away from the that The Full Monty was a fantastic success. The main problems encountered were the extra Helix tech costs and lower ticket & programme revenue than projected. Anyway, the main thing is that there is no urgent need for bag-packs this Summer - wippee! If you spot any mistakes in the accounts, please let me know ASAP. Hope ye're all well, Joey -- msn: joeykavanagh(a)gmail.com ph: 085 7322 505

[Drama-Committee] Stuff... :)
by Susan Bourke 18 May '07

18 May '07

Heya guys, Well, everyone seems to be happy with 2pm on Friday 25th for the next meeting, so make a note! And if ye think of things during the week to put on to the agenda, let me know! :-) As regards the committee night out, everyone emailed back saying they were available but no one really made any suggestions for when or where or what! So, I dunno, does anyone have any ideas? Steve suggested doing something on the 26th so if ye wanna go ahead with something that day that's cool, but I won't be there 'cause it's my birthday so I'll be at home...I'd rather not miss the night out, but we'd better organise it for when it suits the most people... Any constructive contributions, fire 'em this way! Hope everyone's exams are going well! Hugs and stuff! Susan :-)

[Drama-Committee] Audit
by Joey Kavanagh 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hey guys, As you may or may not be aware, we're being audited this semester. I reckon we should be alright (although if Siobhan Byrne is expecting a receipyt for every last transaction, she's got another thing coming!) I know people are stressed out with exams, assignments etc. but, if possible, I'd just like to get a few things sorted this week. Liana, can you try and get the remaining sponsorship money. I got the cheque from ITW but we still need cheques from your dad, Daiwa (sp?) and Ulster bank. Susan, can you lodge the bag-pack money ASAP. Alan and Susan, once you figure out the money owed to Josef Weinberger, we can get a sterling draft or money transfer. I also plan on writing the last few cheques for the musical before the accounts go in on Friday. Eadaoin, some band members and the set designer still need to be paid I think. Anyone else? If ANYBODY has any drama-related receipts/lodgement stubs, please, please keep them for me. That stuff doesn't need to be in until next week so there's no urgent rush. Anything ye can find would be much appreciated. Thanks, Joey -- msn: joeykavanagh(a)gmail.com ph: 085 7322 505
