Review of the ar and lans for future eriods. The past year has seen Callington Community Arts attempt to sustain its recovery from the bleak days of the covid pandemic and its aftermath and l am pleased to report that we are maintaining a steady, albeit slow, journey in pursuit of these aims. Confidence ha5 slowly returned and audiences now are not, in the main, wearing facemasks, although social distancing is made available to those who choose it. Numbers have still not returned to the pre-covid norm. As a consequence, we have moved the film venue from the main hall of Callington Town Hall to the more reasonably suited Council Chamber. This has reduced running costs and has, in fact, resulted in a much cosier atmosphere in which to enjoy films with other people. Throughout the past year we have shown "The Woman King" Good Luck to You. Leo Grande "The Lost King" Allelujah" King for a Day" Suite Francaise" A Bunch of Amateurs" Aftersun" "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" The Great Escaper" and 'Are You There, God? It's Me Margaret,. These have all been either winners or nominees for the BAFTAS or Oscars or have had good reviews, and have covered a wide range of themes and genres to cater for all tastes. Live entertainment proved to be a little more problematic, and we have only promoted two events: "The Battling Butlers" was an outstanding success which used a unique blend of physical theatre, circus skills, original songs and live music. The performance was a study in role-reversal and the inevitability of change, as the old order makes way for the new. It was a real family affair, performed by father and son, Simon Pullum and Lochlann Pickering and delighted the audience. Our second event featured Thomas Bowes, one of the UK'S premiere violinists. who reawakened the astonishment of 19th century audiences with an evocation of the legend that was Nicolo Paganinl. Performed before a small audience in a local bijou art gallery, the evening was faultless. MayFest 2023 sprang back to life in its own inimitable fashion and brought a plethora of entertainment to the streets and other indoor venues in Callington. Live theatre was enjoyed by people across the generations with Little Trebiggan'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. Crowds also enjoyed interfacing with The Poetry Takeaway which, in the twinkling of an eye, produced poems relevant to the individual. A full line-up of musicians and dancers provided much appreciated entertainment for the local resident5 who were pleased once again to enjoy the freedom of meeting up with friends and family at a tremendous outdoor event. An added dimension was introduced by the addition of a new outdoor venue, the field behind the Methodist Church, where the public could enjoy a horse-riding display, a junk band, a forest school demonstration - and a Viking encampment!
were enhanced on the day by the dance workshops in Flamenco- and in Belly-dancing and the excitement of participating in a percussion workshop. These all provided a tremendous opportunity to learn new skills, or renew an acquaintance with formerly held ones, and were a huge boost to social interaction for the participants. Throughout the year we have maintained contact with Carn to Cove through their menu partÈes and are indebted to the constant support offered by Claire and Imogen. We were saddened by the news that Claire was moving on to pastures new and thank her particularly for her undying support over the years. We would be much the poorer were it not for the provision of subsidised events and also in providing contact details for both touring and local companies. We are grateful for the continued support of the Callington Town Hall staff for the backing they offer, both as a box-office outlet and in their role in preparing the venue. The supervision provided at the get-in and get-out of each performance is much appreciated. A big thank you to them! l am greatly indebted to my fellow trustees for the untiring work they have put in and the support they have given me as we continue to rebuild. We have also had support from a small band of volunteers who have helped out on many occasions. Our existence as a CIO, a Comrnunity Interest Organisation, continues to run seamlessly. Thank you all once again for attending today and I look fonNard to your continued support. Signed: (Chair) rd Date: 23 May 2024
Annual Return for Charities Commission The trustees meet at least monthly to consider the business of the CIO. From time to time the trustees consider inviting others to become trustees. For the year 2023 -2024 the CIO has: Maintained a film Club through the C-Fylm scheme. Planned to promote live theatre largely in association with Carn To Cove. Completed the initial organisational tasks in preparation to run MayFest 2024. The trustees intend that these attivities will continue for 2024 -2025- and hopefully continue to be a success appreciated by the community. Financial Review. Reserves are held to enable activities to be continued for at least one further year if there is zero income nor successful grant5. Fortunately, we have been successful in obtaining grants for MayFest 2024, although it was disappointing that funding from the Arts Council was not forthcoming. We are grateful to the National Lottery and FEAST for their continued support and are delighted that Samworth Brothers have been generous in sponsoring the event.
