Dear Mr Jones
Alcoholic drinks are purchased for resale and for serving at College functions, and at the College bar. Accounts indicate the purchase price paid and do not distinguish between the two.
Minutes and some agenda (where held) are attached as requested up until the end of 2019, with the exception of May 2017, which are not held. Please note that due to the impact of Covid-19 on the College, the committee last met in March 2020, so the minutes are as yet unconfirmed as a correct record.
There have been no discussions specifically about reduction of wine expenditure in the meetings of the College Council and the Bursarial Committee (which deals with financial matters and budgeting).
