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.

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.
Trustees, responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Annual Report and the financial
statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards
(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year,
which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and
expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the
trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 IFRS 102).
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
stste whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to
any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to
ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps
for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:

unaware; and
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves
aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner
is aware of that information.
