## BLAIRGOWRIE EVANGELICAL CHURCH Secretary’s Report for the year ended 31December 2024 This was a year of consolidation with some numerical growth. Our regular Sunday meetings are now held in the premises of Rattray Bowling Club. This has worked out well for the congregation given that the premises are modern, comfortable and warm. It has also allowed us to contribute to the running costs of another local organisation serving the community. The men’s curry nights have become a regular monthly feature at a local establishment where we are joined by men from other churches in the area. IN addition we meet along with men from other churches, again monthly, at the Angus Hotel for breakfast. The ladies meet, less regularly, either in homes or locally to share food and fellowship. Regular midweek meetings meet in homes. two days per week (he had been working unpaid for the previous few years). Much of the focus organisationally has been directed to the process of transferring to an incorporated organisation guided by our solicitor. The new SCIO was approved on 31 October 2024 and permission to transfer all assets and wind up the unincorporated charity was subsequently given. Unfortunately the process of arranging new banking facilities has been prolonged and the asset transfers had not been made prior to the year end. We thank the Bowling Club for their cooperation. lJlaiY%owrie. Evanyelical LhiirLh Charity No..
