NATIONAL PIERS SOCIETY. 

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 

The National Piers Society and it’s Trustees continued to exercise financial prudence during the financial reporting period as the effects of the Covid pandemic continued to be felt.  The Annual General meeting was held electronically to avoid the risk of Covid infection to our members. 

The Society has continued to live within its means, recording a healthy surplus of income over expenditure.  The Societies quarterly journal has continued to be produced at no cost increases from last year. 

Membership is buoyant and growing even during the pandemic period. 

The Society has continued it’s primary purpose of representing the interests of seaside piers both remotely and through visitations and has continued to input to various Government departments and groups in this regard. 

Moving forward the Trustees anticipate a buoyant year ahead as Covid restrictions are relaxed and looks forward to continuing it’s work representing the interests of seaside piers. 

The membership has elected a new Treasurer to the Board of Trustees during the reporting period who is undertaking a full review of the current investments to ensure the best use is being made of investments moving forward.
