Portman Members were also asked to consider a Resolution on a Report on Directors' Remuneration. Over 90% of Members who returned their Voting Forms in advance of the Meeting approved the Report.

The Society's Chairman, John Roques, said, "We are delighted that once again our Members have overwhelmingly supported their Board. This is a ringing endorsement of the Society's strategy".

As in previous years, with every vote received, the Society agreed to give 10p to charity. Early indications show that some £19,000 has been raised for four regional charities as a result of members voting.
