After months of soul-searching and a fair amount of procrastination, Sheffield IMC have finally got a bank account sorted with the Nationwide Building Society ( http://www.nationwide.co.uk/).

We have decided to emulate how the UK Network account has been set-up -  http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/UkNetworkAccount - with open accounting procedures and we have some pages about the account here:

We didn't know whether we should have a newswire article about this event but we've been spammed with a bit of non-news recently which we have allowed through, so why not. Here's some of the debate here:

For other IMC's wanting to open an account, at least two people have to visit the building society branch with proof of ID (e.g. passport) and proof of address (e.g. utility bill). We then we showed them print outs of the Indymedia mission statement and Sheffield IMC's homepage and left them with a flyer - sorted.

Now all we need is for loads dosh to come rolling in to be put to good use, innit :o)
