ANNUAL REPORT “2022 WE HAVE HAD A GOOD YEAR WITH EVENTS BOTH ON AND OFF STAGE WE HAD NEW REHEARSAL ROOMS, SIR JOHN BARROW SCHOOL, A NEW MUSICAL DIRECTOR, IAN BIRD, A NEW CHOREOGRAPHER,WIYH HER RETURN TO THE FOLD, TYNE REDFERN AND A NEW SHOW, OLIVER. WE HELD WORKSHOPS TO ENABLE US TO CHOOSE CHILDREN FOR THE GANGS IN OLIVER. AN OPEN EVENING AT THE LAUREL AND HARDY MUSEUM WAS HELD AND RESULTED IN NEW MEMBERS OF OUR GROUP. THE COOPERATION OF MARK AT THE MUSEUM HAS BEEN VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. WE MOVED FURTHER INTO THE 21 CENTURY WITH THE PURCHASE OF A CARD READER. ON THE WETTEST DAY OF SUMMER, WE CRUISED ON LAKE WINDERMERE A NEW VENTURE AND A MOST ENJOYABLE ONE. HOWEVER, THE BOWLING NIGHT WAS CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF SUPPORT. THE CONCERT WAS ALSO CANCELLED AS THERE WAS AN OUTBREAK OF COVID IN STAVELY HOUSE WE SANG CAROLS IN TESCO BARROW IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PANTOMIME SOCIETY HELPING TO SWELL OUR COFFERS. ALTHOUGH NOT AS WELL SUPPORTED BY MEMBERS NOR THE PUBLIC IT WAS ENJOYED BY ALL PARTICIPATING AND THE PUBLIC PASSING THROUGH. THANKS MUST GO TO IAN AND KENNY FOR KEEPING TUNE WITH THEIR GUITARS, THE ONE SOUR NOTE IN 2022 WAS THE CORO, THEIR ECHELON STILL CAUSING US PROBLEMS AND HOLDING US OVER A BARREL. IT WAS DECIDED RELUCTANTLY AND REGRETFULLY THAT ALL THE EQUIPMENT OWNED BY US AND USED IN THE HALL BE HANDED OVER TO THEM THE PROJECTOR WAS TAKEN OUT AND SOLD TO THE MUSEUM. THANKS TO THE CHAIR’S PERSISTENCE AND MUCH FORM FILLING WE RECEIVED SEVERAL GRANTS AND SPECIAL THANKS TO ANGELA WHO DONATED HER SHARE OF THE K2B TO US. WE MUST NOT FORGET THOSE BRAVE SOULS WHO COMPLETED THE WALK FON OUR BEHALF, BOB, CHRISSY, KIM & GEORGE AND STEVE JACKSON. THANKS FOR THEIR EFFORTS NOW TO THE MAIN EVENT, OLIVER, SUCCESS COMES IN MANY FORMS AND TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK AS THEY SAY. THE PRODUCTION TEAM WORKED HARD AND LONG AND THE CAST PROVED THEIR WORTH. SUMMER IS NOT THE BEST TIME TO REHEARSE AND AT TIMES PROVED VERY FRUSTRATING FOR THEM NICKY DID STERLING WORK SORTING OUT SAFEGUARDING AND ELISABETH ONCE AGAIN PLAYED HER FINGERS TO THE BONE ACCOMPANYING AT REHEARSALS AND IN THE PIT DURING THE SHOW.THE SHOW WAS A HUGE SUCCESS ALL ROUND, NEW FRIENSHIPS WERE FORMED, NEW TALENTS DISCOVERED AND A REASONABLE PROFIT MADE. AS WE COME OUT OF OUR WINTER HIBERNATION WHICH GAVE US TIME TO REVIEW THE SITUATION THE TIME TO GO HAS COME IAN DID US PROUD AS MD CONDUCTING A WELL-BALANCED ORCHESTRA BUT HE WILL NOT BE CARRYING ON. LUCKILY PHIL BLACKBURN WHO WE KNOW BETTER AS A TRUPERTER IN OUR PIT WILL TAKE UP THE BATON ALONG WITH PETER DYER WHO WILL CONDUCT SHOW WEEK. TYNE WORKED HER MAGIG AND PRODUCED SOME GREAT CHOREOGRAPHY. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO WORK ALONGSIDE HER, SHE IS A REAL GEM. SHE TOO WILL NOT BE OUR CHOREOGRAPHER AS SHE WILL HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO OCCUPY HER TIME NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS AFTER 17 SHOWS AND ONE TOUR OF FURNESS MY TIME AS DIRECTOR MUST COME TO AN END. I AM DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT DIRECTION OF OUR NEXT SHOW WILL BE IN THE CAPABLE AND TALENTED HANDS OF RUSS PALMER NOW TO THE SHOW. AFTER A LOT OF SEARCHING FOR A GOOD COMPANY SHOW AND A COUPLE OF SETBACKS, I AM DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE SHOW FOR 2023 WILL BE ME & MY GIRL A HAPPY FUNNY SHOW FULL OF CHARACTERS AND CATCHY BTUNES.
