require a review of the membership
subscriptions (which we have always tried to
keep as low as possible) and/or a drive for
additional members. A review of the

subscriptions to The Gardens Trust and
perhaps the insurance cover may be

require review.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |The charity’s principal
