Few, A Few, Little, A Little, Several, Most, Hardly Any, None, Plenty Of

Subject: Visitor Numbers and Next Steps Dear Trustees, I wanted to share an update ahead of next week's board meeting. As most of you are aware, our visitor numbers have been falling steadily since the new exhibition space opened elsewhere in town, and although we've tried several new initiatives to attract families, hardly any of them have had a noticeable effect. We currently have few school groups booking visits this term, which is worrying given how important that income usually is, and there is little we can do about it until the new term begins. On a brighter note, we still have plenty of loyal members who renew their subscriptions every year, and several local artists have offered to donate work for our summer exhibition. Unfortunately, none of our recent grant applications have been successful, so we will need to look at other ways of raising money. I know this isn't easy to hear, but I have a little confidence that the new marketing campaign will help turn things around. Let's talk it through properly next week. Best wishes, Daniel
