The CTPG website has received 76,000 visits in 5 years <strong>of</strong> existence, an increase <strong>of</strong><br />
20,000. This continues to be a very useful way <strong>of</strong> keeping up to date and acts as a<br />
window onto the Group. CTPG also have a Facebook page to share photos and<br />
information.<br />
The Group stall was at 5 rallies providing an income <strong>of</strong> approximately £400 an event.<br />
The two rallies organised by the CTPG raised over £1700 each. The main income<br />
continues to be photograph sales. New collections were requested to keep the CTPG<br />
stock fresh.<br />
