Hey all,
I’m from the South-West, but I’ve been making Liverpool my home for the last year.
An English student might not be the most obvious choice for a treasurer, but I feel the fact that I’ve never had (or needed) an over-draft is good sign that I might not be stupid choice.
In a year when the banking world has collapsed around our collective ears it is wonderful that DF’s have opened their own account and are embarking on a future of careful money use. I think the role treasurer should combine a high level of pragmatism and extreme caution with a can do attitude and I believe that what DF’s do with very limited money is an incredible testimony to our skills.
I like to get things right and this year will be a year when our use and recording that will be under careful scrutiny from the wider movement so I intend to get this exactly right.

The District Fellows Movement is the 16-20 year old members of the co-operative educational youth charity, the woodcraft folk, whose ideology is based on the principles of equality, peace, social justice and co-operation, with an emphasis on the empowerment of young people.
DF meetings usually consist of a group of like minded individuals meeting up at a regular time and place (someone's house, or a pub for instance, or even a community hall if the group is large enough) and taking part in usual woodcraft activities. These activities range from co-operative games, orgainising events, workshops and discussions, and general socialising!
