Incorporated Societies

Here I was lauding societies.govt.nz as being on to it!  They struck off Bluff Promotions (sorted now though) last year when they didn’t get their finances in but it now seems they aren’t always so diligent.  Here are some Bluff ones that fortunately haven’t been struck off.

BLUFF GOLF CLUB INCORPORATED
The last upload was the ‘Annual Accounts – 2009′ done in December 2010

BLUFF RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB INCORPORATED
The last upload was the ‘Annual Accounts – 2010′ done in December 2010

BLUFF SENIOR CITIZENS ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED
Have this years uploaded but 2011 is missing.

It just reiterates why Department of Internal Affairs are stepping in to take over.

Ah, Sunlight

I mentioned a while back that some charities weren’t up to date in their responsibilities.  They were:

Bluff / Greenhills Co-operating Parish    31/12/2011
Bluff Volunteer Fire Brigade     31/12/2011
The Bluff Community Medical Trust     30/09/2011
Te Runaka O Awarua Charitable Trust    31/12/2011
The Stirling Point Signal Station Preservation Trust    31/12/2011

Nice to see most have caught up.  The only remaining defaulter is

The Bluff Community Medical Trust

Their finances were due 30 September 2011 for year ended 30 March 2011 and two trustees have passed away and not been removed as trustees within the required three month period.

Urban Renewal Meeting TODAY

Well today’s the big day, 7pm at St John’s, and Charlie’s working so I can’t attend.

I have some views regarding community development but can’t say I’m too interested in Urban Renewal in the ICC way.  I will see where things progress from here and anyway I already share my ideas and they (whomever ‘they’ may be) are quite welcome to ask me for help.

To me, we already have a concept plan with heaps of ideas and so many groups that all we really need is a place for them to network and meet and display their ideas and share resources.  But wait, we do have such a place…
