donation frcm the Odinel Chaiitable Trust d £17.3LK) We are very graidul for the SUPPDrt from these
sourGes and from our regular donors.
During the period under ￿VIeW the Trustees regularised the transactions of the 74 Club. This fund
seeks subscriptions from members who then have a chance of entering a monthly draw for a
monetary prrze. Surplus funds are then donated to Greyfriars to te used for general purposes.
