It is heartening io see the amount of people who stop and read our exlernal evenl Posters to check out what is going on. The Gallery Team ol Jenny and Liz have fully promoted the Gallery space, conlacling local artists. with such a huge positive response, we are now lully booked until 20271 Some are artists wanting to return, as Ihey love the space. Jenny has decorated the room and made new curtains lo give il a lovely fresh feel. Although the museum has been mainly closed whilst we review the new display case exhibits and mileslones in Baldock's history lo showcase, we have had an increasing footlall looking al the temporary displays. We currently have a Baldock during WW2 exhibition, which is proving very popular, but our new layoul and exhibits are coming on. We are aiming lo open with more permanent displays within Ihe next financial year. We have help and are collaborating with other North Herts Museums, too. We have had a very successful drama production, a variety ol music evenls and children's shows, as well as our NT Live, Cinema Live Musicals and Exhibition on Screen regular screenings in our Theatre Space. We still run our monthly cinema club, too. We are looking fotward lo more of Ihe same this coming year. The theatre space is also used by regular hirers, where we still try to hire under our agreed Arls & Heritage banner. We have ongoing maintenance and refU1$hment being carried out to keep the building fil for purpose. One ol the theatre Green Room's is currently being reviewed. The dressing room space is to receive a facelift courtesy of Jenny and her husband Keith to provide artist preparation space and some storage. The day to day running of the whole building, gallery opening limes, event planning and management, booking enquiries, processes, policies, risk assessments and account management are all carried out by our wonderful team of volunleers. Without whom we would not be able to run the centre, so, as always, a huge thank you to all volunteers involved. Thank youl Alison Alison Gentle Chairperson aldock Arts & Heritage Centre
