Examiners Expenses:

The following was put to the committee as the recommendation from the officers (meeting 3rd January 2024)

1. Mileage reimbursement for BMFA Examiners based on reasonable travel distance upon proof of receipts for fuel within mainland Scotland.
2. BMFA Examiners can travel to clubs and have expenses reimbursed so long as the examiner / requesting club have informed the Achievement Scheme Co-ordinator (Currently Andy Pirie) and subsequently the Treasurer is advised that an expense claim is to be submitted. (The Achievement Scheme Co-ordinator will, as long as reasonably practical, co-ordinate the closest examiner(s) to the requesting club to attend to make best use of available resources.)
3. Expenses do not cover meals for standard agreed training days, meals will only be included in the ‘Special events’ per point 5 below.
4. Expenses do not cover accommodation for standard agreed training days, accommodation will only be included in the ‘Special events’ per point 5 below.
5. For non mainland Scotland locations (e.g. Isle of Lewis club), clubs will be required to request ‘special events’ as these will require BMFA Scotland to request additional ‘special funds’ by BMFA Scotland to BMFA central committee due to the remote nature of the Scottish Geography.

This was accepted unanimously.
