Annual reports
Eight years of one-page accounts — filed plainly, examined independently, and posted here as the Charity Commission record was filed.
As a trust whose income falls comfortably below the audit threshold, we file a single-page receipts-and-payments statement and a short Trustees' report each spring. Both are inspected by an independent examiner and lodged with the Charity Commission. The list below covers the last eight years.

A short note from the Trustees
Earlier reports — back to 1963 — are available on request. Write to [email protected] or to the Lodge Secretary, Arthur Penny, at our registered office. The earliest were typewritten on a Hermes 3000; the older ones are photocopies of carbon-paper originals. We will gladly send a copy by post.
All reports filed with the Charity Commission are also available on the public register at register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk.
If a figure here puzzles you
Write to the Trustees — we will gladly explain.
The Trustees would rather answer a curious letter than have anyone leave the page guessing.
