Latest EBU Shareholders Meeting

Robert Northage and John Wilcox attended the Shareholders Annual General Meeting on October 5th. As forecast, the EBU's P2P charge will increase by 2p in 2012/13 and this is expected to return the EBU to surplus (in the year ended March 2011 the deficit was £47,000).

The EBU has decided to explore the possibility of obtaining charitable status which would be likely to bring significant financial benefits and improve the chances of obtaining government and charitable grants. The timetable for this effort will extend well into 2013 and the final decision is still open.
