The society is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation number 1174531 registered on 6[th] September 2017
The principal office is:

The objectives are:
For the benefit principally of the residents of North Northumberland and the Scottish Borders to:
-
advance the education of members of the community and general public in the understanding and appreciation of the arts, in particular film and media arts;
-
organise, run or arrange screenings of films, media arts and allied visual exhibition in a manner which allows wide accessibility;
-
promote study and appreciation of film and media arts through exhibitions, lectures, workshops, discussions and in any other way the charity chooses.
The Trustees are:
-
Genevieve Poole – Co-ordinator
-
Maurice Ward - Treasurer
-
John Spiers - Membership
The governing constitutional document is “Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose only voting members are its charity trustees”, dated 1[st] Sept 2017.
At a meeting (by email) of the Trustees John Spiers was appointed for a further three years.
Achievements during the year
As our main venue is closed for at least two years we have managed to continue to screen films in a much reduced and inferior venue. We do this by screening films twice on the same day. This increases our licensing costs. It has also reduced our number of members and attendees.
Administration and management
All activities for the operation of the society during this year were carried out by the Trustees on a voluntary basis.
Finance and Reserves
This year has been financially satisfactory with a small deficit. Accounting is reported on an Income and Expenditure basis; annual accounts are submitted to the Charity Commission.
It is a policy to hold substantial reserves. The reserves will cover the purchase of new high quality cinema equipment to enable us to continue screening films in another venue if the need arises.
