## **OUR HISTORY** 

The Society was founded in October 1812 as the Plymouth Institution. 

Architect and founding member, John Foulston, designed the building that would become the permanent home of the society. ‘The Athenaeum’ had a classical Greek-style facade and opened in February 1819. 

The Institution strengthened through mergers with the Devon and Cornwall Natural History Society (1851) and the Plymouth Mechanics’ Institute (1899). 

 **THE BLITZ:** Foulston’s original ‘Athenaeum’ was a victim of the Luftwaffe during World War 2. It was destroyed during the Blitz on the night of 21-22 April 1941. The damage resulted in the loss of the Institution’s library, art and museum collections. 

A ‘homeless’ period of 20 years followed with the Institution basing itself at 13 Alexandra Road, Mutley, and holding meetings and lectures in venues including the city museum. 

 **FROM THE ASHES:** The Institution was renamed the Plymouth Athenaeum when it moved into its present building in June 1961. It is located on almost the exact location of Foulston’s pre-Blitz original. 

 **THE LIBRARY:** Before the Blitz, our library housed more than 10,000 volumes. The library was restored as part of the rebuilt Athenaeum in 1961.

## **INTRODUCTION** 

The year 2020/21 proved to be one of the most challenging periods in the 209-year history of the Plymouth Athenaeum due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

What at first appeared likely to be a building closure of a few weeks, turned out, in fact, to encompass the entire Athenaeum year. 

The effects of the pandemic required the Society to take a very different approach to our way of operating. 

Amidst great uncertainty, and unable to offer access to the building to host events and activities, like many organisations we had to embrace digital technology as a means to try to provide a programme of activities for members. 

To do so we organised a regular series of online group sessions through the Zoom video meetings platform for our Writers’, Art and Astronomy groups and a new Literature Group, which encompassed the former Poetry Please and Pleasure of Books groups. Our lectures and talks also went online and we attracted attendees from across the globe for a varied programme of topics and speakers. 

Invoking the spirit of our predecessors of 1941, who stood in the wreckage of the Blitzed original Athenaeum building, we also brought our Anniversary Meeting online for the first time in our history. 

Through the spring of 2020 we provided digital content directly to members through the ‘BRINGING THE ATHENAEUM TO YOU’ series. Content included quizzes, crosswords, serialisation of the 200th Anniversary book and old lectures being sent regularly to members. 

Much of this digital content eventually featured in the ‘Athenaeum Journal’, an exclusive paper publication for members who did not have access to our online resources. 

Throughout the summer, autumn and winter of 2020/21, we added more contemporary and digital archival material and lectures and talks to our website, and through new YouTube and Soundcloud channels. 

As we face the ‘new normal’, we must continue to find ways to embrace new ways of operating and learning.

Mr W. Telford (Chairman) Mr J. Hutchins (Vice-Chairman) Mrs V. Gunston (Independent) Mr R. Hexter Dr P. Holden Mr I. Manning Mrs J. Pengilley Mrs M. Tully 

**Met:** 5 times 

Thanks to the use of the Zoom video meetings platform, Trustees and Management Committee meetings could take place safely online allowing the organisation to continue transacting its required functions. 

We also held our first online Annual General Meeting in November 2020, which featured electronic proxy and in-meeting voting. 

A range of cost control measures were quickly put into place during 2020/21 and, where possible, services were deferred, reduced, suspended or discontinued in areas such as employment costs, cleaning and waste, utilities and telecommunications. 

## **COMPANY SECRETARY** 

Mr O. Ryles 

## **MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE** 

Mr O. Ryles (Chairman) Mr R. Hexter Mr I. Manning Mrs M. Tully 

In what was a trying year, the Trustees put on record their thanks to the small but loyal group of members who helped us to organise a programme of activities and events online. 

Our special thanks go to Lecture Secretary, Dr Patrick Holden, for arranging a programme with global interest in very difficult circumstances, and to VicePresident, David Ryles. 

Met: 13 times

The Board would also like to thank the Building and Maintenance and Health and Safety teams, without whom the Charity simply could not function. 

Led by Roy Hexter, Ian Manning and David Ryles, when permitted by lockdown restrictions, the team continued to undertake important maintenance and repair work around the building, saving the Charity considerable expense during the pandemic.

## **MANAGEMENT** 

## **OBITUARIES** 

It is with great sadness that we record the deaths of two Past Presidents, Betty Smith and John Warren. 

**Betty Smith** died aged 92 on Tuesday, 3rd November 2020 after a short illness. She had the rare distinction of serving as President of the Society twice, from 1998-2001 and 2005-08. Betty gave great service to the Athenaeum over many years, as recognised by the award of Honorary Life Membership in 2009. Betty is survived by husband, Philip, who received Honorary Life Membership in the same year. 

**John Warren** , who died aged 93 on Saturday, 7th November 2020, was President of the Society from 2016-18, having enjoyed a long and successful career in business. His calm assurance and warm nature made him an excellent President during his term of office. 

Betty and John will be greatly missed by all their friends and former colleagues at the Athenaeum. 

During 2020/21, the Trustees and officers continued to work to seek a viable future for the management and operation of the Athenaeum building and hope that positive progress can be achieved in more favourable circumstances. 

The Board of Trustees would like to put on record its sincerest thanks to Chief Executive, Owen Ryles, for his tireless endeavours in the management and operation of the Charity during an unprecedented threat to the existence of the organisation. 

Given the great uncertainty and threat posed by Covid-19, Owen voluntarily went without pay for the first six months of the pandemic and refused to be furloughed to ensure we could continue to operate. 

The Charity’s Administrator, Wendy Lynn, has remained on long-term sick leave. The Board of Trustees sends its best wishes to Mrs Lynn. 

## **S E C U R I T Y** 

There were no incidents involving a threat to the personal security of members. 

## **F IN A N C I A L  A C C O U N T S** 

A full report is sent separately. 

## **M EM B E R SH IP** 

There were 97 Full members, 9 Life members and 2 Family members (Under16) as of 31st March 2021.

## **STATEMENT OF PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

_During the year 2020/21, the Charity organised a programme of online events and activities, and publications (paper and electronic) that helped it to fulfil its charitable aims of promoting learning in the fields of science, technology, literature and art._ 

_Outside our regular programme of members’ activities, we also offered free public entry to online lectures and talks during the year and provided contemporary and digital archival material and lectures and talks on our website and through YouTube and Soundcloud._

## **THE PLYMOUTH ATHENAEUM** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

The Plymouth Athenaeum is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 22 Derry's Cross, Plymouth, PL 1 2SW. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets, and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005)', issued in March 2005, the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the statement of financial activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate. 

Donations are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when: 

-The donor specifies that the donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or 

- -The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement. 

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis. 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them

## **THE PLYMOUTH ATHENAEUM** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initially recorded at cost. 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

Freehold land and buildings Equally over the term of the lease to 2060 Fixtures and fittings 10% straight line basis Computers 25% straight line basis 

Fixed asset investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date. 

Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the statement of the financial activities in the period of disposal. 

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the statement of financial activities based on the market value at the year end. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

## **1.7 Leases** 

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

## **THE PLYMOUTH ATHENAEUM** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

The Plymouth Athenaeum is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 22 Derry's Cross, Plymouth, PL 1 2SW. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets, and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005)', issued in March 2005, the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the statement of financial activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate. 

Donations are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when: 

-The donor specifies that the donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or 

- -The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement. 

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis. 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them

## **THE PLYMOUTH ATHENAEUM** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initially recorded at cost. 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

Freehold land and buildings Equally over the term of the lease to 2060 Fixtures and fittings 10% straight line basis Computers 25% straight line basis 

Fixed asset investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date. 

Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the statement of the financial activities in the period of disposal. 

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the statement of financial activities based on the market value at the year end. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

## **1.7 Leases** 

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
