We held six talks on a wide variety of topics, largely concentrating on local transport, covering ferries, bridges and the history of the A9. The trust organised two walks one to Camore Woods and visit Dornoch Historylinks Museum and secondly a Walking Tour of Golspie Village. We held a second film night showing old cine films and a later VHS about Glenmorangie distillery. The Trust continued to acquire old silent home movies for the purpose of preservation and to show at another event next year. Four members of the Trust are nearer completion of the book “Strolling Through the History of Tain” which will be sold as a Civic Trust publication. Funds have been raised to cover the cost of an initial print run. There has been a long delay on our efforts to assist in the reopening of - Tain Picture House, so little progress has been made due to the problem of water ingress into the cellar. However, work has now commenced to tank the cellar, remove the hall flooring and put down underfloor heating and a new floor. The Trust has had some involvement in various local planning issues. Financial review Brief statement of the charity’s policy | The Tain & Easter Ross Civic Trust endeavours to maintain a healthy on reserves balance, as we can quickly be involved in spending money on issues — which arise. Normally, the Trust’s income and expenditure lead to a small surplus, but we will spend on a specific one-off project or event, which impacts on funds. Details of any deficit Nil Donated facilities and services (if any) ,.-:; his property, Ballone Castle once a year on “Doors Open Day” and we request donations from the visiting public. This was held in September 2024 and successfully enhanced funds. 3 APPENDIX 1 ## Other optional information ## Declaration The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
