## 1) Charity’s work 

Preparing for and performing chamber music concerts for the annual Festival - this year one concert on Friday March 24th, one on Saturday 25th and two concerts, one early and one late afternoon, on Sunday 26[th] March. 

All  held  in  St  Illtud’s  Church,  Llantwit  Major,  by  kind permission of the Rector, Reverend Canon Edwin Counsell. Also ‘Outreach’ concerts at three schools in the Llantwit Major environs, on Thursday 23[rd] March. 

The benefit to the community is for them to be able to hear  live  performances  of  the  classical  chamber  music repertoire, at a very high level, for a very reasonable cost. 

## 2)Where the money is from 

First and  foremost from sponsors large and  small. Also ticket sales and “Friends” of the Festival. 



## 3) Where the money has gone 

Fees and travel expenses for the eight performers, as well as  feeding  them  over  the  eight  days  that  they  were resident  in  the  area.  Accommodation  was  provided  by volunteer hosts. 

Costs were also involved with Publicity, Programme Printing,  Ticket  Printing,  Piano  Hiring  and  Tuning  and Heating and Lighting in the Church. 

We gave four performances and averaged an attendance of one hundred audience members per concert and just covered our costs. 

AJ Tarlton - Treasurer on behalf of the Trustees
