(at the start) 23 members present and 4 proxy votes. and one observer. and two kids.
(later) (27, 14 is majority)
financial report read by Realitygaps , prepared by Arda Xi:
We pay €1.095,73 a month for rent.
Our income fluctuates more wildly, so I'll just give the data that the bank gives me.
April: € 1.135,69
May: € 1.900,80
June: € 2.287,99
July: € 1.658,16
August: € 772,49
September: € 1.509,99
October: € 1.069,99 (so far)
It's rather difficult to draw any conclusions from this, mostly because sometimes people pay multiple months in one go or don't pay or whatever. I'm also rather reluctant to make calculations from this...
What I can say is that on average, it seems we have a surplus of about €380 a month
