[imc-scotland-discussion] state of the bank account

[Anarcho Babe]

It is quite tricky to be on the bank account, which is with the Coop in 
Glasgow. I tried several times unsuccessfully, it helps if you have already a 
coop bank account there.
Unsuccessfully because it depends to whom you talk to at the bank, nobody 
really seems to feel responsible and they gave out a lot of misinformation, 
too.

They did not seem to accept the form I put in with the change of signatories, 
not sure why, not sure what happened thereafter: they might have accepted 
Micah though I really don't know and it seems there is nothing in the account 
either, as the costs of the last INC printing seemed  to swallow up any 
donations lurking in the account.

bye for now
