|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|Subscribing membership fell during 24/25 from<br>79 t0 71 (-10%) but atendances increased from<br>4476 to 4856 (+8.5%). Members are making<br>more efcient use of their subscriptons. During<br>the year we experimented with circuit training<br>sessions on one evening a week. While there<br>was a core of actve partcipants (approximately<br>10per session)the experiment failed for two|





|||reasons – our instructor found the additonal<br>workload to be unsustainable and the charging<br>system applied meant that the sessions ran at a<br>loss. We intend to reintroduce the sessions when<br>we can fnd an instructor able to take them on,<br>using a diferent charging mechanism designed<br>to make them self-funding.|
