  • Finchley Society Annual Report 2008-2009
    The Finchley Society Annual Report 2008-2009 Our Annual Report has again changed its format and its focus. The first few paragraphs represent an overview of our work and aspirations. They are followed by reports from the committees that, year in and out, carry on the involvement of the Society in various aspects of the local environment. One phrase that will be increasingly used now and in the future is ‘public benefit’. The Society is obliged to consider all its activities in terms of benefit to the general public. This really does mean that our objectives and our actions should benefit everyone in the community and not just those who happen to pay a subscription to the Society. We do think that we have been working for the greater good ever since we adopted the war-cry of “ Conserve, Enhance, Inform and Educate” way back in 1971. However, we can do more. We set up a Working Party last year to suggest ways in which Public Benefit could be better served. Its report has been under active review since the end of last year and recommendations are being gradually discussed and adopted. The Society is operating against a background of increasing costs and a diminishing membership. We mention elsewhere our determination to maintain the fabric of the Society and its core activities but the membership can contribute in several ways: • By maintaining their support for the Society through renewed membership • By recruiting new members • By suggesting and participating in campaigns • By joining one of our working committees- all of them benefit from new blood and new ideas.
