Meeting Agenda
1. Opening and welcome by President
President Steve Dettre shared news about a mass shooting in Australia, expressing relief that friends and family are safe. Steve thanked everyone for joining and mentioning the challenges of organising the meeting. Steve introduced the agenda, starting with Nic's finance report, followed by director's reports, resolutions, and any other business.
2. Presentation of the Finance Report
Finance Director Nic Tan presented the finance report, highlighting the balance of 9,366 Euros at the end of August 2024 and a surplus of 12,648 Euros at the end of August 2025. Nic explained the growth in revenue due in part to increased tournament fees, from 4000 euros last season to 4900 euros this season. Nic discussed the impact of World Cup expenditure, noting a significant increase in expenses last year. Nic suggested considering finances over a two-year period to account for variations in expenses in World Cup years. Looking at the two-year period, the balance has increased by approximately 1,000 Euros.
Discussion on Banking and Financial Management issues
Steve Dettre and Roger Trouillard discussed the challenges of finding a European bank that accepts association accounts. Roger mentioned the difficulty of finding a French bank that accepts association accounts without a physical presence and/or the President appearing in person at the bank. Roger said he would try the HSBC bank next, ar($this->all()); } /** * Get session name * * @return string The session name * * @since 1.0 */ public function getName() { return $this->store->getName(); } /** * Set the session name * * @param string $name The session name * * @return $this * * @since 2.0.0 */ public function setName(string $name) { $this->store->setName($name); return $this; } /** * Get session id * * @return string The session id * * @since 1.0 */ public function getId() { return $this->store->getId(); } /** * Set the session ID * * @param string $id The session ID * * @return $this * * @since 2.0.0 */ public function setId(string $id) { $this->store->setId($id); return $this; } /** * Check if the session is active * * @return boolean * * @since 1.0 */ public function isActive() { if ($this->getState() === SessionState::ACTIVE) { return $this->store->isActive(); } return false; } /** * Check whether this session is currently created * * @return boolean * * @since 1.0 */ public function isNew() { $counter = $this->get('session.counter'); return $counter === 1; } /** * Check if the session is started * * @return boolean * * @since 2.0.0 */ public function isStarted(): bool { return $this->store->isStarted(); } /** * Get data from the session store * * @param string $name Name of a variable * @param mixed $default Default value of a variable if not set * * @return mixed Value of a variable * * @since 1.0 */ public function get($name, $default = null) { if (!$this->isActive()) { $this->start(); } return $this->store->get($name, $default); } /** * Set data into the session store. * * @param string $name Name of a variable. * @param mixed $value Value of a variable. * * @return mixed Old value of a variable. * * @since 1.0 */ public function set($name, $value = null) { if (!$this->isActive()) { $this->start(); } return $this->store->set($name, $value); } /** * Check whether data exists in the session store * * @param string $name Name of variable * * @return boolean True if the variable exists * * @since 1.0 */ public function has($name) { if (!$this->isActive()) { $this->start(); } return $this->store->has($name); } /** * Unset a variable from the session store * * @param string $name Name of variable * * @return mixed The value from session or NULL if not set * * @since 2.0.0 */ public function remove(string $name) { if (!$this->isActive()) { $this->start(); } return $this->store->remove($name); } /** * Clears all variables from the session store * * @return void * * @since 1.0 */ public function clear() { if (!$this->isActive()) { $this->start(); } $this->store->clear(); } /** * Retrieves all variables from the session store * * @return array * * @since 2.0.0 */ public function all(): array { if (!$this->isActive()) { $this->start(); } return $this->store->all(); } /** * Start a session. * * @return void * * @since 1.0 */ public function start() { if ($this->isStarted()) { return; } $this->store->start(); $this->setState(SessionState::ACTIVE); // Initialise the session $this->setCounter(); $this->setTimers(); // Perform security checks if (!$this->validate()) { // If the session isn't valid because it expired try to restart it or destroy it. if ($this->getState() === SessionState::EXPIRED) { $this->restart(); } else { $this->destroy(); } } if ($this->dispatcher) { if (!empty($this->dispatcher->getListeners('onAfterSessionStart'))) { trigger_deprecation( 'joomla/session', '2.0.0', 'The `onAfterSessionStart` event is deprecated and will be removed in 3.0, use the %s::START event instead.', SessionEvents::class ); // Dispatch deprecated event $this->dispatcher->dispatch('onAfterSessionStart', new SessionEvent('onAfterSessionStart', $this)); } // Dispatch new event $this->dispatcher->dispatch(SessionEvents::START, new SessionEvent(SessionEvents::START, $this)); } } /** * Frees all session variables and destroys all data registered to a session * * This method resets the $_SESSION variable and destroys all of the data associated * with the current session in its storage (file or DB).
