MONTH OF PARSLEY

Because this is the Year of the Nodpots, each month has been assigned a different Nodpot who will be honoured during their month. The first month belongs to PARSLEY, lion and Treasurer extraordinaire. He has been Treasurer of the Nodpots since the very first meeting, way back in July 1997, and he hasn't put a paw wrong since then. With subscriptions to collect, funds to manage and (occasionally) monies to pay out, Parsley handles everything with his usual gentlemanly aplomb. He has embraced the age of technology and runs spreadsheets to keep track of the accounts. He has even been known to email Nodpots for their subscription money! His paw is very firmly on the pulse and his support and devotion to the Nodpots is unfailing in the extreme.
