Fieldwork Annual Meeting
Meeting Minutes
10, 2021
Present: Anneliese Davidsen, Purni Morell, Gbolahan Obisesan Christian Roe
1. Matters Arising
PM informed the Board that the European sister-organisation to fieldwork, known as fieldwork eu, will close at the end of 2021, due to lack of activity or prospect of activity.
2. Review of 2020/21 against Charitable Objects and Plans / Strategies
The continuation of the Covid pandemic meant that once again fieldwork activity has been minimal.
The project The Ghost Light , which was originally scheduled to run at the Barbican Theatre in November 2020 and was then postponed to 11[th] -23[rd] January 2021 was in the end cancelled due to the second lock down and closure of theatres. The Barbican was unable to find other dates for it in 2021 and, as the show was very much about a particular moment in time, it has now been abandoned, with no further plans to produce.
We are hopeful that perhaps 2022 will be an opportunity to return to producing work, but there are no concrete plans at time of meeting.
3. Financial Performance and Accounts
The management accounts show minimal activity, reflecting the company’s lack of projects in 20/21.
The starting balance on 1.4.21 was £684.72. There has been no expenditure or further income and the balance on 9.12.21 remains £684.72. This will be carried over as the opening balance for the financial year beginning 1.4.22 and will be put to future projects as they emerge.
The draft accounts were unanimously approved for submission by all Trustees.
4. AOB
PM will submit the Charity Commission annual return next week and circulate a copy to Trustees by email.
Action: PM to do
The next AGM will be scheduled for December 2022
