The Report of the Executive Committee 2020-2021
Little did we think when we met on Frederic's birthday last year that this would be our last
meeting for 19 months! Covid-19 has affected all societies but our financial situation 18 now
improving and thanks to the staunch support of a hard-working committee, we have been able
to weather the stonn, Create events during lockdown and move on. Particular thatQs are due
to our Hon. Sec. Robert Gray> Programme Secretary, Ansie PenrA and Webmaster, Sttwt Box
for arranging the altemative progratnme of Zoom meetings which proved very popular and
allowed for people to safely meet and enjoy some Gilbert and Sullivan. Despite being unable
to tneet in person, we have gained some new members thToughout lockdown and the GLES
News continues to be well-received.
Covid is still with us but hope￿IlY we can now begin to recover and the Cornn]ittee and I
look fonvard to returning to some sort of nonnality as well as facing the challenges that still
li¢ before us.
i. Gilbert & Sullivan Society Membership
Membership of the Society at 31 March 2021 was as follows:
84
Life Members
(88 at 31.03.20)
225
Annual subscribers
(243 at 31.03.20)
18
Affiliated Societies
(18 at 31.03.20)
With an aging membership sadly we have lost a number of people this year. With few
opportunities to recruit new tnembers we are delighted that 17 people have joind the Society,
mostly through finding us on a web search. Despite every attempt to keep our members, we
had to pn￿e a few persistent low payeis who had not responded to repeated letters andlor
emails.
We have had som¢ success with social media and continue to use the Facebook to particularly
reach young people and promote our events. One of our posts was seen by over 1700 people.
We were somewhat relieved they didn't all tL￿n up to the meeting.
li. Afr￿lated Societies
This includes:
Bath, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Godalming, Manchester, New London, No￿lch, Plymouth,
Preston, Sal¢, Sussex, Torf)ay, West Norfolk
And overseas.. Jerusalem, New England, New York, Toronto, Victoria
A number of Affiliated Societies take a bulk order of the G&S News for their members and
many regularly send us reports for the G&S News. We are always d¢lighted to welcom¢
members to our main meetings and were delighted that many were able to join us in our
recent Zoom events.

iii. Gilbert & Sullivall Society Programme
Meetings were suspended during the first lockdown ID the period April - May 2020 losing
two main meetings and Intemational G&S Day celebrations at Barat&ria.
From September we offered an alternative on-line pmgramrne each rnonth via Zoom which
proved extremely success￿1 with numbers increasing each meettng. From January 2021 we
invited members of our Affiliated Societies to join us, space permitting. Zoom gave mernbers
who cannot easily attend events in London, the opportLU]ity to join us and we enjoyed
welcoming people from across the British Isles, Ireland, Gennany, Holland, Canada, Hawaii,
the USA and in March, also Australia. On some occasions numbers we very nearly reached
the maximum of l 00 with an average of around 70 tuning in. Several times we have offered
the 'chat room, option after the event for rnembers in smaller groups to talk to each other -
often in international groups. We have had repeated requests for some Zoom opportunities
after lock down restrictions have lifted and as a result plan to offer additional zoom meetings
Rv. Sales and Merchandise
During nornial times the Sales table is a regular feature at Society meetings and at the
Memorabilia Fair at Harrogate. Christine's cards featuring the Bess De Fries illustrations and
bookmarks are popular sellers. Re￿ettablY it was not possible to produce a Society
Christmas Card for 2020 due to the pandemic but Christine has plans for 2022.
v. The Gilbert & Sullivan News
We were very sorry indeed to lose John Cannon In January. John had been involved with the
production of th¢ G&S N¢ws for many years and a¢tively so since 2000, latterly being joiTht-
editor with Angle Penn. We carried a full Obl￿ary in the Spring 2021 edition.
Angle has continued as Editor with help from the editorial board, John Penn and more
re¢¢ntly. Michael Symes. In addition, considerable help with proof reading has come from
Tony Gower and we have enjoyed a variety of interesting articles &lld piec¢s submitted from
range of contributors. We contiThue to enjoy receiving articles from regular and new
contributors as w¢ll as pieces from our President and some of out Vice Presidents. Articl&s
have covered a wid¢ range of Gilbert andlor Sullivan related topics and we ar¢ grateful to
everyone who has helped in any way.
The News, which is sent out to all members three tinLes a year. is type set by James Howie
and piinted and dispatched by Kenads
vl. The Gilbert & Sullivan Society Reference Library
The Society Library is housed within the Barbi¢an Music Library and provides a specialist
Ilection covering all aspects of Gilbert, Sullivan and r¢lated people and topics. Books are
available for study on a refer¢nce only basis to Society members and to all users of the
Barbican Music Library. Alan Parfitt re8ularly reviews new books in the G&S News and adds
to the collection where appropriate. The Society is most grate￿1 to Richard Jones and his
staff for their continuing assistance.

vii. The Gilbert & Sullivan Society Archive
Management of the Society archive is cared for by Alan and Clllistine Parfitt who have
worked hard to catalogue and move onto digital media much of the material.
The G&S News often draws on material from the archive and Christine Parfitt has made
innovative use of the Bess Defii¢s illustratkons to produce a range of fLU]dTaising Merchandise
for the Society. Our Consultant Archivist, John Cannon died at the start of 2021 and his
support and extensive knowledge is sadly missed by all in the Society and G&S Comtnunity.
The digitisation of much of the Society photograph holdings allowed Christine to quickly
respond to an requ¢st from Roberta Morrell for illustrations for a forthcoming book.
vlli. Peter Parker legacy
Vice-Pregident, authority on all things Gilbert and Sullivan and good friend to the Society,
Peter Parker, sadly di¢d in Septemb¢r 2018. During his long life he had collected many
unique, interesting and important artefacts over the years concerned with Gilbert and Sullivan.
Peter was keen that this collection would not be lost after his death and had everything
professionally catalogued with clear provtsion recorded in his Will.
Most of the really
valuable material, historically andlor financially. has gon¢ to The Victoria and Albert
Museum or other specific benefactors but the Society has b¢¢n left what remains which is
mostly books, papers, china and some pictlwes. We have been Cataloguing this collection and
once it is completed, will look at how we can preserve as much as possible within the Society
archive or our book collection at The Barbican.
Peter has also left the Society a substantial financial bequest of over £IOO,000. His wish was
that we could use it to preserve our archive finding a pernianent home for the collection
within it. Despite this being a large sum, it is not sufficient to buy som¢where pennanently.
We have therefore decided to ear-mark this money for preserving the archive now and in the
tl￿e. Some money will be spent on mending and protecting existing items and creating a
new website for the Society where we hope to offer a digital archive foi anyone who wants to
r¢search G&S.
We also plan to see if we can use some of the money to display in tA)ndon some items from
the archive thus promoting the Society and G&S to th¢ general public.
At the moment, our archive is stored, free of charge, at the home of our archivists, Christine
and Alan Parfitt, who, as well as preserving items, some very fragtle, have been completing
the manunoth task of putting photos and other material into a digital forn]at. It would be
foolish to w&ste Peter's legacy by paying for new acconunodation when we currently have a
safe and secwe location so the bulk of the money will be stored until such time as it will be
ne¢ded by the Society in the ￿tt￿¢.
