However, as a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic, it was not been possible to hold routine business meetings or Annual General Meeting in person, in this Financial Year. Routine business has therefore been conducted remotely using Zoom supplemented by e‐mail correspondence; expenditure being approved by a quorum of members and the approval of Trustees. The Trustees agreed to continue in post until such time as elections can be held in person at an Annual General Meeting.
Routinely Members and Trustees meet monthly on the first Tuesday of each month, at the Victoria Centre, Victoria Road, Lydney, to receive reports from Club Officers and Trustees; to consider business matters and to decide on:
- A Programme of Events.
- Volunteering Activities.
- Grants and applications for Assistance from organisations and individuals in need.
## Summary of Activities
## Incomes
