At last Mid Kent has its own bank account! Branch Treasurer, Derrick Cripps is to be congratulated for his exhaustive efforts to make this happen.

The account will make it far simpler to manage payment of bills and receipt of subs and donations, and the preparation of accounts for the branch’s AGM.

The account is with Lloyds Bank, branch code 30-99-50, number 62959760, and the account name is simply EMMK.

if you’re wondering what the branch’s expenses might be, we purchased a folding table and a triptych display board recently, which gave us great service on a windy March Saturday in Week Street, Maidstone.

It is hoped that the existence of the account will enable, and encourage branch members and supporters to contribute in whichever way they can to the strength of the branch.
