Owen Campbell presented the report to the members. Owen presented the achievements for the year:

PyCon UK ran again in 2022 after being postponed during the pandemic. This is a notable achievement given the difficulties related to the pandemic.
The UKPA owns UKPA Trading Limited and for the first time the company was operationally ready for the conference. There is still some more progress to be made: surplus funds from another entity need to be moved.
The UKPA provided business and operational support for the running of DjangoCon Europe 2023. This is the first event that was not PyCon UK that was supported by the UKPA in this fashion.

Becky Smith has to retire as a trustee according to clauses 13.1.4 and 13.1.5 of the constitution.

Vince Knight has to retire as a trustee according to clauses 13.1.1 and 13.1.2 of the constitution.

Vince Knight and Becky Smith have put themselves forward for election as a trustee.
