Dependant on the role this money goes towards expenses such as the Exec telephone conference calls, general telephone calls including increased mobile phone use, computer costs (increased internet costs, printing, electricity), stationery items, general postage, baby sitters, raffle tickets, unbudgeted meals, drinks at events attended as Exec member, Presidential Ball tickets, unbudgeted travel, unbudgeted accommodation, unbudgeted events i.e. preview weekend, gifts, replacement chain ribbons, travel insurance, unbudgeted attendance to Circles/Areas.
The National Exec are proposing an increase in COPE for 2008/09 by approximately 5% to £2,260 for the National President and £330 for all other National Exec members, this is the first increase for a few years. Various options were discussed by the National Exec on how these expenses should be covered whether the amounts were too much or not enough, keeping COPE with a slight increase was felt to be the best and simplest option.
