CULLOMPTON ARTS HOUSE
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT, 2024 – 2025
Sadly due to lack of a@endance there was only one social acGvity and the group did not parGcipate in the Cullompton Arts FesGval (29th June - 14th July).
The Management Commi@ee (Trustees) conGnues to remain small with no formally designated roles. This is despite efforts to co-opt new members.
The group at present is:
-
Graham Sessions – AcGng Treasurer and is our representaGve with CreaGve Cullompton, (with whom we have access to extra funding to support a variety of community creaGve projects).
-
Jo Turner -Our postal address remains with Jo and she manages several secretarial duGes/ requirements and hosts many of our meeGngs.
-
Annie Tildesley - conGnues as Trustee and acGve member.
-
Helen McCormick – has been Minute Secretary and is our AcGng Publicity Officer.
For our annual exhibiGon for 2024 – 2025 we repeated last year’s Open Studio event in the Autumn (Oct/Nov) at the Walronds, where the arGsts were regularly in a@endance and demonstraGng their work as well as showing it. It was not as successful as the previous one, poor foo`all and low sales.
In addiGon an exhibiGon was held in nearby Honiton in which a number of local arGsts parGcipated and which Cullompton Arts House supported.
We had a Christmas Get- Together at the Bakehouse in December.
In January 2025 a meeGng was held to discuss the future of the charity. We talked about how we can go forward. Three Trustees wish to stand down at AGM for personal reasons. Graham wishes to carry on. Can he do this on his own temporarily whilst seeking other commi@ee members?
Legally a charity can have a single Trustee however it is very rare.
Proposals will be put to the AGM for a vote.
Jo Turner Trustee April 2025.
