Fortune telling, contrary to the Vagrancy Acts
Damage to native fauna and flora by collecting gossamer and wild bluebells for caps
Permitting a gnome to live in a toadstool on our land without planning permission
Permitting another gnome and his rabbit friend to live in a toadstool which had been condemned as not fit for human habitation - our plea that gnomes and rabbits are not human was dismissed as hare splitting, which led to another fine for cruelty to animals.

Auditors' Report

We have examined the accounts and supporting records for the year, and are pleased to report that in our opinion they represent a true and fair account of the union's affairs for the year and of its current assets and liabilities, but subject to the following minor qualification:
While we recognise that it is in the nature of the members of the union to be endowed with magical powers, nevertheless we cannot fail to be a little perturbed by the fact that the accounts have been prepared at the beginning of the year instead of the end. It is presumably for this reason that no supporting documents whatever were available to us, leading to the conclusion that the whole thing is a complete fiction.
