2011 – Issue 2 of 4
The CTPG website has received 76,000 visits in 5 years of existence, an increase of 20,000. This continues to be a very useful way of keeping up to date and acts as a window onto the Group. CTPG also have a Facebook page to share photos and information. The Group stall was at 5 rallies providing an income of approximately £400 an event. The two rallies organised by the CTPG raised over £1700 each. The main income continues to be photograph sales. New collections were requested to keep the CTPG stock fresh. 4.
