Welcome|Steve, chair, introduced himself. He welcomed attendees and thanked them for their attendance. Steve thanked Ben, Paul
and Anita for their contributions to the orchestra. Steve expressed thanks to our sponsors and to the Victoria Hall for their

AGM|Greenhalgh
The minutes of the 2024 AGM had been shared by email prior to the meeting. Hilary proposed the acceptance of the
minutes as a true and accurate record. David seconded thisproposal. The meetingaccepted the minutes unanimously.| |4. Matters arising|Timing of the AGM: Steve reminded the meeting that we had hoped to have the meeting earlier in the year, before the
summer. This has not been possible due to constraints of providing financial information, but the committee will
endeavour to hold the meeting as early as possible in the year 2026.
Victoria Hall accessibility: Steve reported that there has been considerable effort made to research alternative, more
accessible venues. However, this has not been possible due to the size and needs of the whole orchestra. The committee
has discussed this issue with the Victoria Hall. As a result of these discussions, we have more information to enable us to
improve some elements of the lighting which have previously impacted on orchestra members, and have investigated the
use of an alternative door. The building work at the back of the hall has now been completed. This means that the back
door will be able to be used for concerts, which may make accessibility easier. Nikki also suggested that it might be
helpful to let a member of the committee know if an audience member with specific needs is due to attend and we will| Page 1 of 7 ||endeavour to support easier accessibility to the hall.| |---|---| |5. 2024 report|January 2024 saw the opening of our concert season with a brilliant American-themed
concert – A Golden Age. Conducted by Ben and joined by two fantastic singers - Juliet
Montgomery and Andrew Brown, the afternoon was a great start to the concert year. The
concert featured various well-known songs by Gershwin and Bernstein, and the orchestra
performed a great rendition of An American in Paris. This concert was well-attended and the
family-friendly time of 3pm helped to attract a larger audience. This concert was generously
sponsored by Fieldings Porter, and we are very grateful for their continued support.
Our second concert of the season, Czech Mate, featured some lesser-known works,
conducted and chosen by Paul. Martinu’s La Jolla provided a new challenge for many of our
members and made a lovely contrast to Dvorak’s well-loved Czech Suite. Schubert’s 6 th
Symphony, not as well-known as his later symphonies, also provided different challenges for
the orchestra.
Our joint choral concert, A New Day, with The BMS Singers and the choral section of
BCMCS was a real triumph. Conducted by Ben, the first half of the concert included
Vaughan Williams’ Towards the Unknown Region – a piece of great beauty. We then had the
privilege of learning two pieces by female composers – both not very well-known – Ethyl
Smyth’s Interlude - The First Glimmer of Dawn, and Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin du
printemps. The second half of the concert was a performance of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.
Despite its popularity, many of our members had not had the opportunity to play this before.
It was an exhausting and exhilarating performance, and we are very grateful to the choirs for
sharing this performance with us and coping with such a challenging piece to sing.
The summer concert, Outsiders, was a real delight of orchestral pieces. Joel Ashford,
French Horn, stole the show with his performance of Richard Strauss’s 2nd Horn Concerto.
The Othello Suite was new for many of us and made a lovely pairing with Dvorak’s 7 th
Symphony.
The September concert was a real feast of a performance! Debussy’s Nocturnes provided a
gentle opening, and we were very fortunate to be able to invite four local singers to join us in
the beautiful Sirenes movement. Mahler’s epic 5th Symphony was a great piece for the
orchestra to play – plenty for everyone to do and many notes to get under the fingers!
Somehow, we managed to fit all the performers on the stage, and our extra Sunday
rehearsal allowed players to have more time to really get to know the music.
November’s concert, Triumph Over Tragedy, was a more traditional affair featuring Brahms,
Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. Jonathan Martindale’s performance of the Beethoven Violin| Page 2 of 7 ||Concerto was a real highlight, and we are very grateful to Paul for enabling us to book such
a brilliant soloist!
Thank you to Ben, Paul and Anita for their work over the past year. We are very grateful for
all the extra effort that goes into our performances to ensure that the orchestra performs at
its best. Thanks too must go to the Friends of BSO (who have sponsored three concerts this
year), financial support from The Provincial Walsh Trust and Bolton Operatic Society Trust,
and a private sponsor, and to Bolton FM and Booths Music for publicising and promoting the
concerts. I would like to thank all the members of the committee who work very hard behind
the scenes to make everything run smoothly.
Nikki Lord| |---|---| |6. 2024 Accounts and
Treasurer’s report|Julie reminded attendees that the accounts had been shared by email prior to the meeting, along with a financial review
and a reserves policy produced by David Gorton. Julie reported that, overall, the orchestra is currently in a strong financial
position, with a total worth of just below £38,000 at the end of the financial year. Julie highlighted a number of lines
within the balance sheet and the financial activity (profit and loss account). Julie informed the committee that revenue
from ticket sales dropped last year, but that there was an increase in memberships paid. Julie noted that music hire costs
reduced, in part to the choice of programme, but also due to Paul’s careful budgeting. Individual concerts are not listed in
the accounts but Julie shared that in terms of the concerts last year, 3 were in surplus and 3 in deficit. The January concert
continues to be our most profitable concert. The committee is looking at different ways of producing a choral concert; this
is due to the fact that this concert historically runs at a deficit which is not sustainable. Julie reminded the meeting that
Orchestral Tax Relief of around £6000 is central to our financial wellbeing. Orchestra Tax Relief has reduced slightly, at
the moment it is at 45% and we currently benefit greatly from it; Julie will continue to monitor any changes to this. Julie
thanked all the sponsors, including the Friends of the orchestra who support us financially and in other practical ways.
The accounts have been independently examined. Julie is waiting for these to be signed off. Julie invited attendees to raise
any questions. No questions were asked of the treasurer. Steve thanked Julie and David for their work on the accounts.| |7. Friends Association report

This was mainly due to ill health, moving away and not renewing (ORCHESTRA subscriptions. Page 3 of 7 We started the year of 2024 with a talk in February given by Hilary Ashton, daughter of composer Ernest Tomlinson, creator of the Library of Light Music. This was held in the afternoon at the Ridgway Chapel, Victoria Hall and was very well received. Afterwards we were able to look at the Library, now housed in the Victoria Hall. Later on, in June, a chamber concert at St. Luke’s Church entitled ‘Music for a Summer’s Evening’ was performed by players from the string section of the BSO together with Helen Brackley Jones. Music by Schubert and Bridge comprised the first half and after an interval with cheese and wine, we heard a brilliant performance of Schubert’s String Quintet. We had a good audience consisting of members of the Friends, BSO players and others, and raised over £300 for our funds. In December a Christmas Concert was given by members of the Orchestra – too many to list – and guest pianist. This was a lovely afternoon with a variety of items, some humorous, and with mince pies and mulled wine in the interval a convivial and festive atmosphere prevailed. We are very grateful to all the players who give of their time and talents to take part in these concerts which provide a supplement to the regular orchestral programmes and give us an opportunity to meet players as well as raising funds for the BSO. We also had our usual restaurant meal in August which a small number of Friends attend but which gives us a chance to get to know each other. Our committee consists of myself as secretary, Juliette Bradbury as treasurer and membership secretary, Jean Howarth, Victor Williams and Carole Collins who joined us during the year. Members of the Friends are invited to rehearsals usually for the Sunday afternoon rehearsal which some of us have enjoyed but there has been very little take up from the members generally. We were pleased to provide sponsorship of £500 each for three of the concerts in 2024 making a total of £1500 and we are very pleased to support the BSO in this way Again, we would particularly like to thank Nikki Lord for all her help and support and also Mark Jones who continues to list the names of the Friends in the programmes. We continue to provide front of house duties at concerts. We are still gaining some new members, but the general trend is downward, mainly due to increasing age. A move to some afternoon concerts by the Orchestra and ourselves is proving popular but we still hope to attract a wider age group. Page 4 of 7 ||_Christine Deacon,_
