Accounting period 1[st] January 2020 to 31[st] December 2020 Ogmore Valley Silver Band
Charitable Objectives
To educate the public in the musical arts and to facilitate the musical aspirations of its members and to further their advancement in the art of playing brass band and popular music in concerts and other activities in the wider community.
Constitution
The band operates under a constitution adopted at a General Meeting held on 4[th ] September 2016.
Activities during the Year
The Band had a promising start to the year, with a performance at the Ogmore Vale TEDX conference held at Bridgend College on 28[th] February. The band also performed at a St David’s Day concert in Bridgend Market on 1[st] March.
Although short on numbers, the band were proud to compete at the Regional championships in Swansea on 18[th] March, coming 7[th] and receiving some very positive comments.
Unfortunately, the band were only able to hold one more rehearsal before the UK went into lockdown for the first time due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The bandroom was effectively closed for rehearsals from the end of March until October 2020.
With all rehearsals, live performances and competitions cancelled, the committee kept busy, holding weekly zoom meetings to keep communication open and put an action plan in place to deep clean, de-clutter and repaint the bandroom. With the help of Welsh Government funding, the committee purchased materials for refurbishment, plus a new computer and printer ready for our return after lockdown.
Restrictions eventually eased and band rehearsals finally resumed in October following a Covid Risk assessment undertaken by the Committee.
The band managed to end the year on a high in December, hiring an open top bus and touring the four local communities in Ogmore Vale, playing Christmas carols for local residents along with Father Christmas on board. We experienced a very positive reaction from local people and was supported by the Community Council who helped pay towards the cost of the bus hire. The weather was a challenge but it was a very enjoyable day. We aim to make this an annual event for the community.
Income Reserve Policy
The Band aims to retain sufficient reserve funds in order to cover any future capital expenditure, to be used for example on our band room, instruments, uniforms, music and other assets to allow it to continue its charitable objectives.
