The charity’s reserve policy is to ensure that sufficient reserves are held to fund the production about to be presented. At 31[st] October 2020, reserves totalled £23,015.77.
In the year to 31[st] October 2020, the Chair of Trustees, Mr P S Clemson, reported that, due to the constraints of the Covid-19 pandemic, subsequent lockdowns and their impact on theatrical performance throughout the country, only one successful production had been staged – “Scrooge, the Musical” in November 2019. Costs relating to future productions had been absorbed in the year in the hope that we can return to normal activities as soon as it is safe to do so.
