ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
It gives us immense pleasure to outline what has been another successful year for DarlingtonOS.
2023 saw us present two repeat productions - Grease after a break of nine years and Footloose after a break of eleven years. Both shows attracted huge audiences with Grease outselling our 2014 production by 546 tickets and Footloose outselling our 2012 production by 820 tickets. As with 2014 our final performance of Grease in 2023 was a complete sell out.
The business of DarlingtonOS is not just limited to the stage. We have had a successful year in terms of hiring out Centre Stage to enable us to cover our rental costs and taking further pressure off individual show budgets.
Stagecoach Darlington remain as a long-term hirer of the entire venue every Friday afternoon and all-day Saturday. We also welcomed Crossroads Pantomimes back to rehearse The Darlington Hippodrome panto Snow White and they have already booked themselves in for this year's panto Sleeping Beauty.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31st December 2023
Our costume hire team has had a busy year with several sets of costumes going out on hire across the UK. I can't praise the wardrobe team highly enough for the time, effort, and skills they bring to the company, not only working all hours to ensure our shows look fabulous but building links with many UK theatre groups making sure their shows look amazing too. In the last 12 months costume hires brought in an additional £2,000 and we have seen several hires out in 2024 with requests coming in regularly for information and costs.
With Kinky Boots just a matter of weeks away we can look ahead to see we have two more fabulous shows to look forward to with Made In Dagenham and Everybody's Talking About Jamie. Two totally different styles of show which will give opportunities and challenges to the membership.
It may seem that the role of our Trustees is simply to choose the shows DOS presents, nothing could be further from the truth. That is one small part but important task we are faced with a couple of times a year. maybe because we do not post everything we do on social media it may seem that we are not actually busy. If I can just list a few of the day-to-day tasks undertaken by members of the committee I think you will get an idea of how hard the team works on your behalf behind the scenes to ensure DarlingtonOS remains viable, and members of DOS can get the unique buzz from performing on the Hippodrome stage:
Consulting with the landlord on any issues that may arise, ensuring the fire regulations are adhered to and the fire extinguishers are tested annually. To reach out to additional groups that look to hire the venue and to ensure our existing hirers are happy and remain so. Administering the Friends of DarlingtonOS - we currently have over 150, writing and distributing regular newsletters and ensuring each Friend receives their free show programmes.
Administering all the new members applications we receive for performing and non-performing membership. Liaising with the heads of many large theatre groups across the UK to offer advice or look for assistance.
Keeping in touch with and building relationships with all major rights holders. This has born fruit recently with getting a head's up email on the release of Jamie before it was generally announced ensuring we got our application in well before anyone else in the region. We also have been specifically invited to apply for a particular shown in 2025 which may or may not come off depending on specific dates.
I would like to thank every one of the committee for the time and effort they all put in to ensure DarlingtonOS remains one of the leading theatre companies in the UK.
I would like to acknowledge the invaluable input from our wonderful team who work behind the scenes - on sound, lighting, props, crew and stage management, such an integral part of the DarlingtonOS family whose knowledge and skills ensure our shows run smoothly and effortlessly.
My final thanks go to the membership who make DarlingtonOS shows come alive on stage. They are the life blood of the company, their passion, dedication and talents shine through with every production.
Another successful twelve months are behind us, and we can look forward to some amazing shows over the next couple of years.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity reported a surplus of income over expenditure of £52,070 in the period to 31 December 2023 (2022: £1,625). Total funds as at 31 December 2023 were £178,090 (2022: £126,020).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31st December 2023
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Society consider it essential that they retain one years running costs of two shows, which they estimate will probably be in the region of £200,000 in the future. This amount will cover the Society's operating costs for twelve months. At 31 December 2023 there were unrestricted reserves of £178,090, meaning the charity has not achieved its reserves policy target. Other societies have ceased to exist as a result of the escalating costs of hiring rehearsal rooms, theatres and royalties and this Society is taking steps to address these issues and are mindful of reaching new audiences. Future productions will be considered in the light of these aims.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is governed by its constitution as incorporated 21 July 2020.
Introduction and legal status
DarlingtonOS (CIO) was registered 21 July 2020, funds were transferred in from Darlington Operatic Society to continue the Society's objectives in a different legal form.
Darlington Operatic Society can trace its origins back to 1912. The present Society was formed in 1945. Charitable giving has long been part of the Society's activities and the Society became a registered charity on 22 May 1984, number 514996, before transferring to the current legal form.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
There are currently 8 trustees. The maximum trustees allowed by the constitution is 9 in total. Recruitment of any new trustee would only occur when one of the current trustees step down. Every three years a trustee has to be re-elected at the AGM, at that point members who want to be a trustee can put a nomination in. There are a maximum of 9 trustees; 3 each have a three year cycle. If there is a vacancy throughout the year, the trustees can co-opt a member in, then they would need to go through official nomination at the next AGM.
Organisational structure
The Society is managed by a Committee consisting of an ex-officio President elected annually and twelve elected Committee members who each serve three years. Eight members of the Committee form a quorum. The Committee annually elects from its number a Chairman, a Vice-Chairman, an Honorary Secretary and Assistant, an Honorary Minute Secretary and an Honorary Treasurer and Assistant.
The Committee selects the Productions and also appoints the Director, Assistant Director, Musical Director, Stage Manager, Deputy Stage Manager and Lighting Designer for each Show.
The Committee is responsible for the finances of the Society and ensures that monies owed in are collected and that monies owed out are paid. The Committee also ensure that the funds of the Society are applied solely to the stated objects of the Society.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DARLINGTON OS
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Darlington OS
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Darlington OS (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
