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

ofthe year has been the way the CIO has| ||||con5nued to thrive and develop atter the difficulfies presented
by COVID| ||||in previous years.
Membership
