As part of Trust Board meeting discussions in the course of the past year,the Board has noted that the Trust has no regular income stream. Additionally, it isimpossible to describe our membership definitively in the absence of an annualmembership renewal process. To address the latter issue, for this AGM, the Trustmembership will be assumed to be any individual who has completed and had registered aTrust Membership form at any time prior to 31 December 2009. To address the former issue and clarify the latter issue for future AGMs, the Trust Board proposes to introduce anannual subscription of £5.00, payable as at 1 Sep each year from 1 Sep 2010. While thelevel of any subscription is a decision for the Board, and need not be discussed at anAGM, the Board would be happy for this to be discussed as part of the AGM if themembership so wishes. Trust members may wish to refer to Trust Rule 11 in respect of subscriptions. Trust rules are available on the website:
