*Report from the RC on tabular statement*

All data is pre-pandemic...

Graph of the whole trajectory of membership
Down by more than half by our peak in the mid-20th century, 12.5K in
2019.

Net loss of 200 members for the year, to a total of 12,498.

470 local meetings, so

One new member net in every local meeting next year would stop the fall.

Since 2009:
  22% of local meetings have grown by 10% or more 
  54% of local meetings have shrunk by 10% or more

10% of our Meetings have over 50 members , and account for about 1/3
of our membership

Small meetings are more likely to be growing than large meetings

More than half the meetings which are losing membership are largish --
20+ members

The national patterns are often seen within individual Area Meetings
[true for SESAM, I think]

"One in 20 Quakers have to be a Treasurer"

See Tabular Statement summary at https://quaker-prod.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/store/5b7910074687ac2797f82da7f1305c9a9eab9866a3fbea89f3fc47f35d5e

However, don't forget "regression to the mean"

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

*Trustees*

35 voluntary redundancies, result no non-voluntary were needed.  The
vast majority were from the Quiet Company, which has been hard-hit.

*Reflections on the past year*

There's a website at FWCC that offers online Meetings for Worship
around the world, mostly but not entirely from Europe and the US:
