Revlew of the ar and lans for future The past year has seen Callington CommunityArts re-emerge from the bleak days of the covid pandemic and its afterniath and l am pleased to report that we are slowly returning to circumstances which reflert pre-covid levels. Precautionary measures were put in place in temis of wearing masks and distrances between seatingto protect both the audience and the organisers. Gradually confidence has returned and numbers have returned to "normal". Throughout the past year we have shown" Dune" "Promising Young Woman°."King Richard . Nightmare Allev,. "The Duke" West Side Storf,, "Belfast" -The Ouffit" "Fishemian's Friends The Banshees of Inisherin" and °Living" These have all been eitherwinners or nominee5 forthe BAAS or Oscars or have had good revIev, and have covered a wide range of themes and genres to cater for all tastes. Live entertainment proved to be a lÈttle more problematic. but we did return with MayFest 2022 when we featured an evening with Mike (Yconnor arbd Barbara Griggs, who were as enjoyable as ever. and included Little TbIggan'S production of Katie's Black Hole" much to the delight of the children, as part of the family entertainment on the day of MayFest. Afull line-up of musicians and dancers provided much appreciated entertainmentforthe local residents who were pleased once again to enjoy the freedom of meeting up with friends and family at a tremendous outdoor event. Further public appeardnces occurred when we partnered Callington Rotary to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June when we helped engage Urt)an Playground The Grimm Sisters and the Minack Theatre produttion of Yhe Kissed that Missed-. More recently, an evening in the presence of the Moscow Drug Club was an unsurpassed success as they provided an intoxicating and intimate musical experience where they combined original material with songs by the likes of Jacques Brel, Leonard Cohen. Tom Waits, Bertholt Brecht and Eartha Kitt. Throughout the year we have maintained contsct with Cam to Cove through their menu parties and are indebted to the constant support offered by Claire and Imogen. We would be much the poorer were it not for the provision of 5ubsidised events and also in providing contact details for both touring and lo(zl companies. We are grateful for the continued support of the Callington Town Hall staff for the backing they offer. both as a box-office oudet and in their role in preparing the venue. The supervision provided at the get-in and get-out of each perfomiance is much appreciated. A big thank you to them! (This pardgrdph will be sent to the Town Hall staff to show our official appreciation.) l am greatly indebted to my fellow twstees for the untiring work they hwle put in and the fjupportthey have given me as we build up once again. We have also had support from a small band of volunteers who have helped out on many occasions. Our existence as a CIO, a Community Interest Organisation, continues to njn seamlessly. Thank you all once again for attending today and I look forward to your continued support. (Chairl Date: Zk . Signed:
