CAN YOU BALANCE THE BOOKS?

If so, your Regional Committee needs you. After 4 enjoyable years as the Regional Treasurer I have decided to stand down at the end of the year.

If you are interested in becoming the new Treasurer and/or would like to find out more about what is involved I am more than happy to enlighten you and offer some training.

You don’t need to be formally trained in accountancy or book-keeping (I’m not), but you do need to have a calculator and know how to use it!

Working with figures is not as daunting as it may sound – so don’t be put off. As a bonus it’s a great opportunity to meet and work with some lovely people across the Region.

If you are interested please get in touch with me:

Yoga Teaching Scams

Watch out for bogus e-mails requesting one to one yoga teaching, be very suspect of any request where the sender does not reveal who they really are. The scam usually involves asking for rates for teaching yoga (no doubt other disciplines as well) they then accept your rates and send money order to cover the cost, they usually make a "mistake" and send too much requesting that you send them the surplus back! Needless to say their bank draft looks OK and will be accepted by banks, but will bounce later, by then they hope to have received your refund and cashed it so watch out.
