Good year for K -W Farmers Club Another good financial year in 1987 was enjoyed by the Kirkton- Woodham Farmers Club. About 30 members of the club were told at Wednesday's annual meeting that sides for 1987 were up to S1,978,809 as compared to S1,825,019 for the previous year. As the club is a non-profit or- ganization, all profits nue returned to members in the form of rebates which were S97,687 for the just concluded year, In 1986 rebates amounted to S98,218. The club now has an accumulat- ed surplus of S185,144. Retiring president Burns Blackler credited the work of secretary treas- urer Ron Grant in reducing the amount of accounts rcccivablc and said, "They, are now at an accepta- ble level." At the end of December, 1987, accounts receivable were down to S26,763 as compared to S105,820 at the same time a year earlier. • Adding to Blackler's comments, Grant said, "As of today the ac- counts receivable for 1987 have been reduced to Tess than S3,000." The secretary treasurer was also commended by retiring board of management director Bill Arthur and the newest director pave Marshall. The latter in speaking to Grant said, -"All of your prodding with accounts certainly helped our financial pic- ture." The salary of R6n Grant was in- creased from S 13,500 to S 14,500 per annum and his assistant Ron Denham will receive an increase of S200 to S6,5(X) per year. Recording secretary David Wheel- er will receive S50 per meeting in- eluding the annual session. The di- rectors will continue to receive $35 for each board meeting. When Wheeler said the S35 figure had been set in 1985, director Bob Hern commented, "We have an obli- gation to members to keep our re- muneration at the same level." Club member Keith Selves sug- gested directors get an increase at the• 1989 annual meeting. A grant of $500 was approved to the Kirkton Agriculture Society to be used for 4-1-1 purposes in connec- tion with the -annual fall fair. Retiring president Burns Black- ler's final remarks were, "We should all try to promote the club. If you arc in the farming business it's worthwhile." Newly elected president John Simpson said as he took over from • Blacklcr, "The main object of the club is to help all members jiy try- ing to get• the best prices we can." On the subject of new members Simpson said, "By paying profits back at the end of the year, we come up with prices as good or better than anyone cisc which should be an incentive to join." The club executive consists of president John Simpson, past presi- dent Burns Blackler, vice-president Rick.DeBrahandere and management committee members Ted Brine, Bob Hern, Albert Wccrnink and Dave Marshall.
