Report on the Honorary Secretary As magazine reports showed, the Society's Branches had been active. The Australian Dinner is to be held in Canberra. Correspondence with the Secretary was mainly changes of address. Some members had asked for addresses of members in their area or in places they were to visit. The list of those who had offered to help with careers advice was now available to Tutors in the Tutorial Office to assist in dealing with enquiries received from members seeking such help. Donations to the Appeal continued and the total sum received was now over £1,100,000. A number of covenants had now expired. The Master intended early in 1991 to write to donors whose covenants had come to an end to encourage any who wished to make fresh covenants. Covenants remained the main form of giving. Give-as-you-earn was less freqently used. A new scheme, Gift Aid, enabling tax to be recovered from single gifts of £600 and over was to start on 1 October 1990.
