Sitting on my desk at work. Took them in to post on Friday and completely forgot about them 
When we were a Kingdom it was run by a King
When we were an Empire it was run by an Empress
Now we're a country we're run by a..........
Doh! I'll try to get them sent after Easter then. I'm away for a week 8-15th April so hopefully it'll get sorted before that!
How we looking on getting the forms signed then?
no sign on them yet to sign
Docs received this morning...
And despatched to Guy...
gone from me
Got the forms back, will knock up a brief business plan at lunch and send off.
Three things though Guy:
1: You should have done in black pen, I hope they don't mind my overwriting it in black. 
2: Your postage was 26p short so I had to collect it from the post office and pay £1.26 extra. 
3: Do you want me to send the AI mag pro-forma invoice for A2C adverts that you accidentally enclosed to your Holmfirth address? 
Doh!

If you want any help with the 'business' plan let me know. Clearly as the form is generic a lot doesn't really apply so our plan would be pretty similar to the purpose and objective of the organisation. Non-profit making, providing a service at cost while maintaining a float for running expenses - blah, blah.
Yeah, I'm just going to put down a bit about formalising the membership and also offering membership to AFRA through CiA.
I'll post it here when I've done it for approval.

Don't worry about the £1 ffs! 
We only have to provide a bare minimum of information for the business plan to include what we do, employee details, projected growth/turnover and details of where that will come from:
Comrades in Arms exists as a non profit making club created to organise high quality World War II re-enactment events and to provide a hub for World War II enthusiasts. Comrades in Arms looks to encourage and promote other groups and playing sites to organise similar World War II events, and to forge links between suppliers, sites, and re-enactors.
Comrades in Arms runs a website and online forum as a hub for the discussion, planning and promotion of events and as a conduit for interested people to socialise and communicate for the benefit of the greater community.
Comrades in Arms does not have any employees but does have four executive officers who are responsible for the running the group activities and the website and forum. These individuals are named within the account application form.
Comrades in Arms has recently sought to formalise by offering attendees of events free-of-charge membership of the organisation and are also administering the opportunity to become become paid-up members of the All Fronts Reenactment Association ( http://www.afra.org.uk ) which gives players benefits such as personal and public liability insurance.
Comrades in Arms has seen activity on the online forum, and in actuality through the organisation of events, grow exponentially since their inception with monthly activities planned by Comrades in Arms and partner groups and organisations throughout 2008. Comrades in Arms will plan, and will encourage other groups and organisations to plan, further events throughout 2009. Comrades in Arms will also seek to increase the number of members in the club by offering advice and guidance and encouraging new and interested individuals to attend events.
Annual turnover is expected to be no more than £8000. This is made up of event fees and All Fronts Reenactment Association subscription fees of £20 per annum.
Event fees are used to pay suppliers and cover costs for running events and provide any training which may be necessary for Executive Members in order to run events safely and legally (health and safety, first aid etcetera).
When administering All Fronts Reenactment Association subscription Comrades in Arms will take a £5 administration fee to cover costs on top of the £15 subscription fee. This £15 fee will then be forwarded to the All Fronts Reenactment Association through Comrades in Arms' bank account.
Spot on, I'm sure that will be fine.
OK
Bank stuff sent. As I've said elsewhere, I'm away for a week as of Tuesday so won't pick up any problems until the 16th.

FFS, whilst I was away Co-op sent me a sheet with a few more questions on it. I'm going to contact them tomorrow to clarify what they want as it's all a bit gobbledegooky. Jesus, so much fuss to set up a club account!!
Dave, not sure if you got my email but I need your postcode. It seems the one I have isn't correct.
S
Heh, just picked the emails up!

Just FYIs.
We should soon have the bank account. Can't quite believe this has taken so long. But anyway.
I have also set up a PayPal account, as you know; and we now have an Ebay account too.
I can give anyone the details should I not be around to buy shit.
Hi all
I've been asked a rather sticky question about compliance with FSA regulations. They want to know how many members, or ordinary members if no committee, we have as they require name, address, DOB and nationality of a pro-rata number.
I'm responding thus, any objections let me know:
• Committee Members: Comrades in Arms has historically run as a group of four people organising events for like-minded individuals to attend. We have recently sought to formalise the organisation of Comrades in Arms by offering free membership to attendees of events. We do not have a committee and all decisions pertaining to the policy and organisation of Comrades in Arms are made by the four executive members. Ordinary members are not involved in policy making or organisation. We currently have a non-fee-paying membership of 32 people.
Comrades in Arms is a non-profit club. Executive members are not paid and do not take any expenses. All fees paid into Comrades in Arms by attendees of events are passed on to companies owning sites where events are run or used to purchase items and props for use at the events.
