Didn't realise it had been so long since my last post. Portland Rocks CIC has been very busy with various projects so the fact that the young people running our tuck shop are managing it so well is great. It is quite entertaining every week watching them try and balance the weekly account making sure the opening balance plus what they sell on the night adds up to the money they have in their pot. Strange thing is they nearly always seem to end up with more money than they should. The weekly tally sheet is usually covered with their calculations in a variety of colours! The tuck shop is entirely self funding a testament to the efforts of the group that run it. They need to decide what to do with the small surplus they have made.

Over the summer I would like them to work on other aspects of the course so need to prepare suitable resources to give them. I have tackled SEQ in a different way with this group in that we set up the enterprise first and will  then move on to other parts of the course. With this group I think this has been the right approach, all keen musicians, most are 15-16 but the financial manager is 13.Plan is to have their work moderated in the autumn.
