Windfall Bond changes

My family have a number of Windfall Bonds whic when I opened them we used to get a list of winners each month. The Society now says it is impracticle to publish winners which I strongly disagree with. It would show openess in the procedure without disclosing too much information about the winners private details as was the case originally. Reviewed on: 15th April 2025
