The editor, Stephen Hdl. has highlighted the Iwlth and psychologul benefits of origami. as well as
trying lo make the magazine an interesting and enjoyable read for our members. Unfortunately.
Stephen's own health took a htt at the end of the year arKI he was hospilalised for some time. He has
not been welkenough tr) fulty resume his dub.es yet. so the mawne ha5 been taken over by a former
editor land Iong-term stsh¥art of the knEtyI. Nick Robinson. Stephen's goals as editor were to make
the magazine more inclusive and to encourage ￿e0tMty amongst the Societys membership. The
Society produces six edi￿nS of the magazine Br￿sh Origami during the year. Each issue contains
inslrucb.ons for m¢xlels, news, and artides of interest to the paper folding communty. The mawne
represents a major benefit of s￿sety membership and is also available for download from the

The Scciety would like to r￿ember a V*elkk)ved member of the BOS Council, who wa5, for many
members, the'face. of the BOS - Penny Groom, who passed in August 2024. Her funeral was packed
with BOS members who wished to say "Goodbye" to someone who worked b"relessty for the SOc￿ty

Accounts.
A long-stsnding Mern￿r, Philip BIenc(￿e also passed and generously left the Society £500, which
was placed in the Goneral Funds.
Financi81 review
The Soc￿￿5 current account balance ended the year 2024 about £9,000 higher than it started. but
this is due to some large wthdrawals from the CCLA Deposit Account. A total of £30.000 was taken
out to cover Olxr outgoings. which induded some18rge costs for convent￿ns.
The rna1￿1ty of our invesknents are now held in "Income Units., in the CCLA Charities Investment
Account, and are delwering income of around £21.OIYJ annualty into the Deposit Account. The
£30.000 withdrawal in one year is not sustainable kJn*tem.
The underlwng inveslments also continued lo ￿rf0m] relatively well. Grwng lo £789,935 at the end
of 2024 froTn £771,612 at the beginning. despite the on-going global uncertainty. CCLA have
managed to slightly increase the kvel of Ir￿e. although their stated am is to increase in line with
CPI inflation + 5%.

The Trustees report an operab"n9 Surplus for ts 2024 of £1,426 (2023.. deficil of £1,880) of
which a surplus of £1,715 12023: £1.9861 was fmm Un￿StrIded funds and a deficit of £289 {2023:
£1￿) was frL¥n restricted funds.
The income from Memtr￿rSh1p subscriptions and general donations was £13,504 {2023.' £15.8941 and
sale of orYJami books and paper of £4,147 {2023.' £1,227) and Gfft Aid of £1,331 12023.. £1,305) was a
welcome addition. Royalties frcffn AJnazon sales gave £420 (2023". £8851 and other royalties gave
£1,074 12023." £2261. So. the "everyda￿ income - not counting events such as Conventions - totals
£20,47612023.. £19,537).
The outgoings are considerably mixe.
The Library Archsve Project C05t £11.633. This cost is very slbjhty down on tt)e previous year. which
came to £11.745.
The Magazine whith is published 6 times a year cosl £7.788 {2023". £7,791). This included the cost of
soffv4are to assist with the layout. The bymer outgoing is due to the ltr•ver number of membeTS taking
the physvl magazine.
Insurance, and the cost of Ihe Independent Examiner Came to £5.908 {2023". £5.7421.
Other Council expenses came to £269 {2023: £241).
Taking these "everyda( actiwties, Ihey gNe a total of over £25.598, which compared to the above
income of £20,476. is a swJnfficwbt overspeNI.
The above figures do not indude the Ccx)ventions.
The Society held two conventions wi 2024. the first. in The Minories, Cokhester. cost £5,419. A major
reason for the cheapness is the fact that attendees had to source their own accommodation and there
was no official sr￿la[ GuesL It was offset by income of £4.585. inckjding takings from suppl￿$.
Then there was the autumn convents"on, in Edinburgh. This cost £31,079, and the income was onty
£20.869. ATound £1,000 of the total was the cost of the special guests Francesco Mancini and
Telsuya Gotsni, their travel and accommodatK)n in the UIC 11 shoukl be noted that one of the aims of
the Eric Kenneway bequest. (which was the main source of the S￿le￿s assels) was to assist the
interplay of origami Njeas be￿een the UK and abroad, so ¢t can be considered perfectly acceptsbie
that the special guest costs should be covered by ￿COrne from the investments. Bul this size of
overspend must be reduced in future.
The two conventions in 2024 o)mbined to make a loss of £11.044.
At the end of 2024, the deaston was taken to trial the Ticket Taiknr system for Convention bookings
and thanks tr) the hard work of Ed Holmes, this was set up in time for the 2025 Spring convention.

19 Rolated party trdnsacllons
During the year, Trustees were reimbursed expenses totalling £1,802 (2023 - £4,389). These
comprise the reimbursements of travel and other ￿ to 14 Trustees and committee members12023
71.
In addrf(￿n to the above. the following payThents should be noted..
A-up Media
During 2020 it tecame apparent that Ihe Sm webstte needed changes. For many yeaTS the
majority of work has been perfomied by one of our tr¥Jslees - Nick Robinson. N￿k suggested that the
Society look for a bettef solution, with a web site desvJn8d by professKJnals. A specffication was
drawn up by the Council, wth input frL¥n Robinson. Tenders were requested from several
suppliers. including a wetthsign ccxnpany - 'A-Up Media" _ ctrowned by Nick Robinson's son. The
Council considers that the tendertng process was thorough, and Nick Robinson was excluded from
the decision. The final decision was m* in March 2021 and a contr￿1 was signed with A-up Media
to supply a new web site to the SocEIVs spe￿r￿￿tions. A-up Media no longer provides websrte
servi￿$ to the Society. No payments were made to A-up Media during the year {2023.' £5591, and no
amounts were ¢Md * 31 D￿mber 2024 {2023." £N￿l.
ColorTrge
The Society offers warious publtstions arKI other goc4ts io its members and the public through a
number of channels, including an aTrangemenl wrth a compary called ColorTree Limited. This is a
paper-craft company owned by a TnJstee. N￿k Griffiths. His online shop has a section enb.tled "British
Origami Shop" and there is a link lo it from the Society wetpsite. In this shop. anyone can buy a
seleth'on of the soC￿s LKJ(*lets, and Scciety memters can get a 10% discount on the purchase
price. Mr Griffrths holds the kniety stock for us without charge. During the year the charty paid
£3,922 {2023 - £1,213) to ColorTfft and received iTKome of £Nil 12023 - £3201. At 31 December
