On the issue of a/c's,often a group buy may be in motion and not complete to meet the deadline. That is not a problem. Year 1 had the epic corney buy followed by the second corney buy and finally the bucket buy.End of year was 31/10/12 and the bucket buy traversed this date.
Well a small change is that the financial year is now going to be May 1st to April 30th and the membership year Jan 1st to December 30th.
