## LH&G Annual Report 2022-23 The unpredictability of the Covid pandemic and national lockdowns meant that hirers, users and audiences continued to be significantly reduced. We allowed a few small classes to start again at the end of April, and opened up again properly on 17[th] May. But bookings were very lean as people were still nervous of crowds. We had small events, workshops and film screenings, with maximum audience numbers at 40. One of our youth drama groups filmed their show in small groups, and spliced it together instead of live performances. An evening of mediumship on 31 July was the first bigger event with 60 people. Very low numbers for Theatre festival in September. Two private birthday parties in October with approx. 120 guests each. Stroud Book Festival in November was well attended as was Stroud Film Festival throughout March 2022. Both high calibre events. The Gallery opened 11 May 2021 and was fully booked for the entire year. All the exhibitors we had had to postpone were all thrilled to be finally able to have their exhibitions. So by the end of the financial year things were looking up. Thanks as ever to our Venue Manager and her small team of workers, volunteers and members of the board.
