Local childminding meetings

[jelly15]

Once a month a local group of childmiders meet (evenings) at a private area in a pub, to network and support each other. I always include milage in my accounts but I was wondering if I could include any refreshments e.g. coffe or wine. Twice a year we have a dinner too. Can I include these?

I do - I put them down as training costs - not the alcohol though but you may be able too...

I put down networking costs so I say yes...

I would put mileage, food and drinks through books. If you weren't a childminder you wouldn't be attending so a legitimate expense in my opinion.
