## **11. Future Outlook** 

This year has been one of the worst years the club has experienced, with the unexpected deaths of 2 well respected and long serving trustees. The Club President also experienced a serious health emergency, which resulted in her absence for several months. These events have severely hampered the club’s ability to function and fund raise. It is hoped that the coming year will see the recruitment of new members to improve the club’s long-term prospects. It is hoped next year will see further improvements in the club’s fund raising activity and grant distribution.
