EventsIn August we were hosted by RREC (Northern
Section) to display our exhibition boards at the
‘Passion for Power’ event held at Tatton Park near
Manchester. Our annual commemoration was held at
the memorial plaque to Charles Rolls in the private
grounds of St Peter’s School.
PublicationsThree newsletters were issued. The
CRHT book ‘Bournemouth The Aviation Pioneers and
Rolls of Rolls-Royce’ sells in small quantities via
Amazon and at talks.
Photo AlbumThe Trust became aware of an auction
for a private photo album which purported to show the
last flight of Rolls and other photos of the 1910
aviation meeting. Whilst bidding went to the expected
price, (double what Trustees had agreed) the album
was later offered to the Trust and purchased. Whilst
the Trust does not specifically purchase memorabilia,
the significance of these photos were important and
have been featured in the Trust’s newsletter.

the trustees have
had regard to the
guidance issued by
the Charity
Commission on
public benefit		 Para 1.18 All activities are designed to raise the public profile of
Charles Rolls and the 1910 Meeting and the
significance of both and to reinforce the lessons learnt
which are still applicable in the present day. In
planning our activities we have kept in mind CC
guidance on public
