Definitions “Yeomanry Regiment” means any regiment which at any time since 1901 has been a member of the Yeomanry force, any former or present Yeomanry Regiment including the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry or unit of the Territorial Army or Army Reserve and any sub-unit which represents or replaces a former Yeomanry Regiment, and “Yeomanry Regiments” means more than one Yeomanry Regiment. “Members” for this purpose means all serving and former serving members of (including persons attached for more than four months to) a Yeomanry Regiment.
## **APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES**
There must be not less than three and not more than nine appointed trustees.

## **THE YEOMANRY TRUST**
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The Yeomanry Trust makes up its accounts using the cash accounting basis, so that it records receipts in the period in which they are received and expenses in the period in which they are paid.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The Yeomanry Trust has received a modest amount of income from donations during the period which, there having been no expenses, it holds as reserves. They are shown as debtors because as at the balance sheet date the Yeomanry Trust was awaiting the opening of a bank account in its name, the funds therefore being held to its account.
## **POLICY ON RESERVES**
The policy of the Yeomanry Trust on reserves is to build up a fund from which to commission a memorial to those members of the Yeomanry who have died in the service of their country to be erected at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas.
