Trustees Report for the year ended 28 February 2022
The last AGM was held in July 2021. At that time, we were still operating under some Covid restrictions which gradually eased ending in December 2021. We only had 3 months of the financial year without any restrictions.
Happily, nearly all of our regular hirers returned as soon as restrictions were lifted, the remaining few came soon after and others have joined them giving us the happy headache of trying to fit other enquiries into our busy schedule. Even Sundays are busy with most of the premises being occupied by the Revive Church every week. We have 2 Musical Theatre groups operating multiple sessions for children and young adults.
However, during this period, ticket sales for concert events were below what we would expect and consequently our income was a little lower than we would have hoped. The visit by Grandmaster Flash in October was a noticeable exception, it sold out very quickly and we had a very busy night on the bar .The concert was a resounding success showing that the Civic Hall can host successful concerts by international, big-name acts.
Improvements were made to the stage and sound engineers are describing the Civic Hall as the best venue of 500 capacity in the area.
We have , however, held back from committing capital spend on the building other than for essential repairs and for projects to reduce our operating costs for example we have begun a programme of replacing traditional lighting with LEDs as you can see in this main hall.
We do have ambitious plans to further the aim of reducing costs and importantly, minimising our carbon footprint and to make the experience of visiting these premises more enjoyable for all.
