We maintained the three-month cushion for expenses, amounting currently to £15,000.

Festival report for 2021 and plans 2022

The highest attendance at Torquay this year was 27 due to social distancing rules and restrictions preventing overseas visitors from joining us. A site in Eastbourne, East Sussex is being considered for 2022.

Renewal of trustees and two new appointments:

David Treybig and Peter Hawkins agreed to continue as trustees. Two new trustees will begin serving the Charity during 2022. Michael Murdoch and Gareth Gordon were selected by the existing trustees.

Congregational matters

Combined services are now taking place twice per month. This enables more fellowship between brethren, and more members are able to attend due to the locations. The White Hart Barn in Godstone and Soper Hall in Caterham are usually available, though sometimes we are pre-empted due to local activities taking precedence.
