**1.** Midland Institute of Mining Engineers (the Institute) is incorporated as a charity for the purposes of operating as an educational learned society, including the provision of relevant financial support to those engaged in mining engineering education. Its unincorporated but charitable predecessor registered three other charities (see below) for the making of related donations and these charities have been merged with the Institute. It should be noted that the term ‘mining’ is used to cover all forms of minerals extraction.
**2.** The funds of the Institute are invested by the Trustees at their discretion but are divided in the records of the Institute into three separate designated funds and one unrestricted general fund. All funds are managed by a sub-committee of Trustees for the Institute which recommends to the Institute Trustees how the interest earned by their fund (and exceptionally part of the capital should be used for the charitable purposes of the fund). The investment of all funds is managed by the Institute’s Trustees.
The Trustees pay due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, when considering grants for example the Safety Seminar, Technical Meetings, Supporting Engineers, Paper Competitions, and visits at home and abroad to various sites.

(Refer to Financial Statements reports.) Annual contributions from this Trust Fund enable the effective day-to-day operation of the Midland Institute of Mining Engineers.
Each of the designated funds contributed £1000.00 to the General Fund to cover administration costs associated with the fund activities.
## **3.2 The AMCO Bursary Fund (Designated)**
The AMCO Bursary used for the advancement of education in the science and practice of mining, or such other subject areas as may be defined by the Institute’s Trustees and particularly for short-term work-related training for mining engineering students who may have difficulties in undertaking practical instruction and workrelated participation.

The Midland Institute of Mining Engineers has been actively supporting students at the University of Leeds and CSM and apprentices in several organisations.
The overall membership for the year increased by 46 following recruitment drives and contacting member, which is very encouraging. A greater effort is required to encourage support for MIMinE membership across the range of membership grades to reach a wider industrial base.
The Midland Institute of Mining Engineers remains a viable organisation offering support to members in the current economic climate. It is also worth noting that some members have opted to take up the opportunity of membership of MIMinE without membership of IOM3 and this number has increased by 8 making it clear that this offering is a valuable means of continuing to provide the opportunity for more people to maintain their contact with the MIMinE.
Members of the MIMinE can be supported with their professional development; this includes assisting members through applications for IOM3 membership, upgrades in membership and/or Engineering Council registrations. We would like to thank the Membership Committee and its Chairman, Mr Wyn Griffith, for its professionalism and support towards the membership.
