5 Graph of the whole trajectory of membership
6 Down by more than half by our peak in the mid-20th century, 12.5K in
7 2019.
8
9 Net loss of 200 members for the year, to a total of 12,498.
10
11 470 local meetings, so
12
13 One new member net in every local meeting next year would stop the fall.
14
15 Since 2009:
16 22% of local meetings have grown by 10% or more
17 54% of local meetings have shrunk by 10% or more
18
19 10% of our Meetings have over 50 members , and account for about 1/3

21

35
36 Effect of GDPR-induced culling? SESAM shows _twice_ as many
37 'terminations' as deaths between 2009 and 2019, in big contrast to the
38 other Scottish AMs. BYM numbers are 50% more deaths than
39 terminations.

41 *Trustees*
42
43 35 voluntary redundancies, result no non-voluntary were needed. The
44 vast majority were from the Quiet Company, which has been hard-hit.
