Where the money goes

Since the VCPS is non profit none of the committee membersare paid for the work they do for the VCPS.Most of the membership fees go toward the printing and posting of the VCPS journal.Other costs include rent ,web hosting,purchase of new books,advertising for the annual show,legal costs and purchase of plants for the AGM plant give away.The plant give away is to encourage members to attend the AGM as it is sometimes difficult to find people that have enough spare time to become committee members.Members such as Sean Spence often donate a number of plants for the night.Many costs of the VCPS are offset by members sales of plants at meetings,the annual show and otherwise.10% of the profits go back into the VCPS.
