rewery The slte looked promlslng with great local connectlon5 to the M4, Swindon, Devlzes and many

caused the ground to remaln 50ft . Desplte thi5 we had a vast amount of exhlblts turn up including a tank
from the local REMI Museum The show was well attended by the public and although on slte vehlcle
movement wa5 restrlcted the publlc seemed to enjoy the displays

FINANCIAL REVXEW
Flnanclal position
unfortunately the charity's posltion has stlll not greatly improved follow￿n9 the losses from the show5

where possible
The charlty wlll recover but It wlll be a slow process over coming years with ever Increaslng costs year to
