Partington Theatre Club Limited

Report of the Trustees for the year ending 31st July 2022

The Trustees present their annual report together with the consolidated financial statements of the

charity for the year ending 31st July 2022.

THEATRE SECRETARY’S REPORT

This season it has been a joy to re-open the theatre for its dedicated purpose, performing plays, and welcoming audiences back, in safety. We had a very successful season of plays and other events, which were all well supported.

Following the extensive refurbishment of the clubroom, Partington Theatre has become a premier function room in Glossop, and it is utilised by regular community groups who hire the space during the day and for private and public functions during the evening.

With the expansion of the business there is a need for additional professional help in ensuring the company fulfils its legal obligations. In addition, we are appointing two designated theatre administrators, who will help the transition to manage the company in a more business focused approach.

We are very pleased that our volunteer pool is increasing, but we continue to encourage additional volunteers to join our dedicated team.

Sadly, as the season closed, a significant number of officers stepped back from their roles and two of our Trustees retired. However, we are confident that these roles can be filled as we have a wealth of new volunteers who are keen to take up the mantle.

We are looking forward to the new season of plays and a full programme of planned events, which are sure to entertain audiences over the coming year and hopefully encourage more people to visit our wonderful theatre.

Theatre Secretary

OUR PURPOSES and ACTIVITIES The objects of the charity are specifically restricted to the following: - a. to advance the education of the public in the arts and in particular, but not limited to, the provision of a community arts centre.

b. to further the social and cultural welfare of the community of Glossop.

c. to maintain a Grade 2 listed building.

ARTISTIC VALUES

We are aware that artistic tastes are not the same for everyone and that when addressing some of the more challenging themes the productions might give rise to offence. We take the views of our audiences very seriously and without compromising the integrity of the programme we seek to respect the diverse social, cultural and religious lifestyles of our community and audience.

The strategies employed to achieve the charity’s aims and objectives are to:

present a broad range of theatrical productions for the enjoyment and education of our local community
offer opportunities for a broad range of people to get involved in arts activity exploring their own creative powers
provide facilities for amateur and professional artists to develop
concentrate on involving young people in the arts to help encourage a culture in which different age ranges play a complementary part
To encourage community use of the facilities to promote education, health and social well-being

2021/2022 – SEASON OF THEATRICAL EVENTS

This year we have been able to re-open the theatre and welcome our actors, production teams and audiences back. We have had a full season of shows. These included the postponed 2020 production of Breaking the Code, followed by the annual panto – Rumpelstiltskin, written and directed by one of our members. The youth production this season was Our Day Out and proved a very popular choice of play. Following this came the comedy version of Around the World in 80 Days which featured five actors taking on several roles, Roleplay by the renowned playwright Alan Ayckbourn and Albert Nobbs, a gentle comedy drama to end the season, which also starred some of our Youth Theatre.

We were very pleased with the overall percentage attendance throughout this season, considering the fact that many public performances have suffered greatly as a result of social distancing and Covid outbreaks.

YOUTH THEATRE

The youth theatre has thrived over the season, producing a fantastic youth play. In addition there have been LAMDA classes and exams with excellent results and a wonderful youth drama week which was well attended.

VOLUNTEERS

I think it is fair to say that after the lockdown, people began to re-evaluate their lives and this has proved of great benefit to our company, because we have had an influx of volunteers wanting to join the theatre. We now have a wonderful team of committed people who assist with set design and construction team, lighting and sound and backstage. We have a brilliant costume department and we are welcoming new actors and directors into the company.

VISITING THEATRE COMPANIES

There have been two visiting companies this season, both over the summer. The first an all-female production of Macbeth which was well attended, especially by local schools who had students studying the text. In addition, we hosted the Ukrainian production Ukrland following the premier at the Lowry, Salford.

COMMUNITY USE OF THE FACILITIES

Regular lettings have resumed, and we have increased the number of functions and events booked following the refurbishment of the clubroom.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

This commentary supplements the audited accounts, which were prepared for the annual return to Companies House for the year ending 31st July, 2022.

A grant from High Peak Borough Council was received for £5,000. The boiler replacement cost £18,545. Current Assets at year-end were £35,883 The amount outstanding for repayment on the Government Bounce Back Loan was £14,186.40. Total income received was £200,463. Total expenditure was £188,324 resulting in a surplus of £12,139.

FUTURE PLANS

The past year we have seen a good recovery post Covid, our focus moving forward is to strengthen the business of running the Limited Company and the Charity. We intend to do this by taking on two voluntary theatre/business managers who will job share the role.
