Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year			I Trustees belreve that the CIO con5nues to be a well-known and weli- respected organisabon within the Romsey area and that it is managed and run in a professional and compelent manner. Membership is buoyant and has increased to more than 70, with 1 Or 2 new enquiries
			per month. It may even become necessary atsome point in the future to
			limit Membership should the pressure on facili5es atthe workshop and
			social shed become too great.
			The mern achievement ofthe year has been the way the CIO has
			con5nued to thrive and develop atter the difficulfies presented by COVID
			in previous years. Membership is strong, finances are heaifny, and
			Members are taking a much greater role in proposing, organising and
			managing acbwbes. This has enabled the CIOto expand the 5vi5es
			available as a mature and more rounded organisation.
