Charities

Spring Grove's constitution requires us to collect and donate to charity.  Here is a list of charities we, and our associated side Kingston Morris (since 2012), have supported and, where noted in old AGM minutes, the sums donated.  Sadly the more detailed Treasurer's reports have not survived.  It produces an interesting view on the health of the side over the years and when there was less activity and consequentially less collecting.

2005    £220    "Pat Nash's cancer charity"
2004-1999       No AGM minutes survive

Prior to 1996 charitable donations are not mentioned in the AGM minutes.  After a request in the 1995 minutes that donations are recorded in the minutes, they are now (mostly) declared each year.
