CMF's finances currently show a very healthy surplus of £57,000 as at 30 September, on turnover of £673,000 (£52,000 deficit for the same period last year). This is a cause for great gratitude to the Lord for his gracious provision, and for the generosity of the graduate membership in particular, supporting the subscription increase and giving very generously. Such a surplus arises because of this support, further very significant and totally unexpected legacy income, good overall control of costs, and the delay in employing a new Associate General Secretary (April 2004), and implementing the new CMF membership database (December 2003).
