The trustees are feeling very positive about about our theatre and the internet radio station; both are doing well. Over the past year, we have produced three shows for the stage. “Breaking the Code” about Alan Turing, A show that we staged despite illness problems among the cast. Then there were two self-written and produced plays, “Downtrodden Abbey” a radio theatre farce and “The Day of the Triffids” which was also a radio theatre play on stage.
We are fortunate that grants have been received so we thank the two bodies concerned, The Bideford Bridge Trust and Bideford Town Council. Thanks also to William Isaac for the premises, to Jo Saunders for organising a successful fund raising event, to Matt Garrod for his technical expertise in regard to Soundwave and the trailer, and to Peter Lawrence for his contribution in respect of Soundwave.
The trustees met regularly during the year using their meetings to review the success of our activities and, working with the company manager, to map out possible future productions. Our policies were reviewed and found to be suitable for our situation at the moment.
