2023 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Wey & Arun Canal Trust (“The Trust”). When it was originally set up, the founders arranged for it to be incorporated as a Limited Company and for it to be registered as a Charity. As such a company its constitution comprised its Memorandum and Articles of Association which were adopted by the founding members and officially registered with both the Registrar of Companies and the Charity Commission.
The Memorandum and Articles of Association have served the Trust well during the last fifty years and although from time to time changes have been made, some elements were 'showing there age'. The Trustees therefore updated the Articles and these were approved at the AGM held on April 22nd.
