Good evening everyone, and welcome to the GMTC Annual General Meeting.
I would like to begin by thanking all our members and supporters for their continued commitment to the society. Your time, energy, and enthusiasm are what keep GMTC thriving, and it truly would not be possible without you.
This past year has been a particularly successful one, highlighted by the outstanding performance of Legally Blonde by our junior section. The show was an incredible achievement, showcasing not only the talent on stage but also the dedication and teamwork behind the scenes. I am delighted to report that the production generated a profit of just over £4,000, which is a fantastic result and a real credit to everyone involved.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the committee for their hard work and ongoing support throughout the year. In particular, I want to thank Gary for his dedication and persistence in securing grant funding, not only for Legally Blonde but also for our upcoming adult production, Annie. His efforts have made a significant difference to the society.
Thank you also to Fiona for her continued hard work and diligence in her role as Treasurer, keeping our finances in such good order, and to Vic for his commitment and organisation as Secretary.
Looking ahead, I am very excited about our current production, Annie. The enthusiasm and momentum within the society are strong, and I am confident that this show will be another great success for GMTC.
Finally I would like to thank everyone once again for their support over the past year. GMTC continues to grow and succeed because of the people involved, and I look forward to what the coming year will bring.
Thank you.
Scott Brannigan-Howes
Chairman
