## **Chairman’s Report 2023/2024 for Shinfield Players Theatre** 

## **by Gordon Bird** 

## **Thursday 5[th] September 2024.** 

Mr President, trustees, members and guests. Good evening and welcome to the 2024 annual general meeting for Shinfield Players Theatre. 

After serving six years as chairman and a previous 3 years on committee I feel the time is right to step down and provide an opportunity for some new and fresh ideas. I am absolutely confident that our future is in safe hands, whoever is voted in as our next chair. 

I will try and make this report as brief as possible but after six years there are a few things that I would like to say so I beg your patience. 

I would like to begin by reporting another successful season where we are delighted to receive well deserved NODA awards, and where every single show reported a profit. Congratulations to all of those involved in making each production so successful. Another measurement of success is that membership as a whole is up and we have our largest number of YG members and waiting list since lockdown. We have a great opportunity to recognise our achievements later with the Shinnies and in my mind, everyone involved and everyone nominated is a winner. 

I wish to take this opportunity to offer my sincerest thanks to my fellow trustees, all directors, musical directors, choreographers, cast, stage managers, stage construction, lighting, sound, properties, wardrobe, front of house, bar, box office - in fact every person for their contribution, however large or small, to such a successful season. 

Unfortunately, when we consider the theatre’s running costs, then our shows would not make a profit and this needs to be something the next committee must consider improving. Our box office is around 57%, which is quite low, and our plays average around 27% - which equates to just 37 audience members. Musicals have good box office sales but their costs are high. Going forward we have to consider how to improve: Our play choices, ticket prices, publicity, costs of our musicals. I don’t know the answers but whilst our running costs continue to rise, then we have to look at improving our source of income. 

It is worth remembering that we are all volunteers and none of us are paid for any of our efforts. In our busy lives we do what we can when we can to help this theatre. Like most people who work full time, my job is not 9 to 5, having to work late on occasions, working away from home and working weekends. 

This impacts how much time that I can offer to all of my hobbies, to my growing family as well as to my commitments to our beloved theatre. 

We should show respect to everyone who offers time to our theatre, irrespective of their age, their experience, their length of service or the time they can afford. 

I for one am extremely grateful to every single second that every single person has committed to this theatre.  Thank you.

As chairman I have done my absolute best to serve the theatre I love. I have done so selflessly and with integrity. 

Have I have made mistakes? Yes. 

Do I have some regrets? Yes. 

But I know that I have always put the theatre ahead of my own views or interests. 

On committee we don’t always agree but we always act for the best of theatre. I have been outvoted on some of my suggestions and although I am of course disappointed, I have the satisfaction knowing that the theatre is far bigger than an individual’s wounded ego! 

As a committee we serve the interest of the theatre and we do our utmost to do our best. We are all human so yes, we get some things wrong but never intentionally and never personally as we thrive to make our wonderful theatre a better place, a safer place and a place that is economically sound. 

Six years ago when I took over chair, none of us had any idea what was about to happen. We were unable to complete a full season for three years owing to COVID lockdown then mother-nature ripping off part of our roof. Seeing how we pulled together as a committee, as a theatre, as a community, fills me with hope for our future as to what we can achieve when we need to, putting aside our differences, grudges and pulling together for the greater good. 

Working with the youth group I get to know first-hand when I am out of touch. And I get reminded most weeks! Anyone with teenage children or grand-children can probably relate to my position. 

But that perspective of knowing what our younger people want and need is so important if we are to be here in another 5, 10, 20 or 30 years. I am strong believer that a mixture of youth and experience is so important in running our theatre. Change is good and new ideas are vital but we should also listen to wisdom offered by our experience elders. 

During my time in office we have: 

- Signed off the lease (many thanks to Graham Vockins, Steve Smith and Jon Chishick) 

- Had a change to our lighting box 

- New toilets 

- New roof 

- Change to our seating configuration in the auditorium 

- Introduced card payments 

- Youth group successes in Prague 

- Jodie Prenger as our patron 

- Introduction of the Shinnies 

- New email system 

- Excellent social media presence (what exactly is tik tok?) 

I cannot take credit for these achievements but I sincerely thank the efforts of our members and committee bringing these to fruition. 

It gives me extreme pleasure to thank everyone who worked so hard on the committee as trustees during my time in office, making the term so much easier than I feared. 

I particularly would like to mention Sue and Rachel who have managed to keep me sane and have worked diligently during the last 12 months.

Ellen, Graham, Matt and Rachel have all stepped down from this year’s committee and thank them all for their commitment and efforts. 

When I stood here six years ago, I thanked Graham Vockins for his wise governance and help and the time he held as Chairman. I would now like to repeat my thanks, not only to Graham _“I can do that job and in the process save the theatre hundreds if not thousands of pounds”_ Vockins but also to Carol _“this is my last show”_ Vockins. Graham offered me very wise council on committee and is a valuable asset that we should not ignore. I said it six years ago, and I know that Graham, even by his own admission, can be a grumpy so and so, and he can be rude, sometimes inexcusably rude, but I know that it comes from a good place, a place of passion and care for our theatre, it’s members and it’s future. Carol and Graham are the main stay of Shinfield Players Theatre and I would like extend my sincere thanks to them both for all of their help to me over the years. 

Finally. Rather than ask you the question “how many people does it take to change a light bulb” I will instead ask “how many people does it take to make a successful theatre?” Look around you and you get some idea of some of the people that makes it happen. 

Thank you.
