| equipped. We are currently not charging | ||
| members who attend either our interest | ||
| group meetings or the Saturday talks by | ||
| Zoom, for their 'attendance'. This has a | ||
| negative impact on our income but is | ||
| covered by our reserves. | ||
| The most significant area of activity that | ||

| international travel, but we do have a visit | ||
| to Provence organised for late summer | ||
| 2023. Our UK travel group has | ||
| successfully resumed its activities. | ||

| Financial Review | ||

| Reviewoftinecliarity's | Para1.21 | During the year to 31 July 22 we reported |
| financialpositionat the end | a surplus of £20,517 (as compared to a | |
| of the period | deficit of £4,047 for the year to 31 July | |
| 2021). This £25k improvement is in part | ||
| (£11 k) because of operational recovery | ||
| following Covid but also the result of a | ||
| decision to change policy and process re | ||
| renewals. We therefore accepted | ||
| payment for subscription renewals due at | ||
| 1 August 2022 before the 31 July 22 year | ||
| ended. As we record on a cash basis this | ||
| has resulted in our declared surplus for | ||
| the year to 31 July 2022 increasing by | ||
| almost £14k. | ||
