This report covers the first six months of our new charity, The Preston Musical Comedy Society. This new Charitable Incorporated Organisation replaced the old charity on 1[st] January 2021 when all assets were transferred.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting challenges in setting up the new charity, and opening a new bank account, the old charity extended its final financial period to 18 months. During this final period there was just one production, Dick Whittington. This was a hugely successful production with a profit of over £9,000. Our thanks must go to the production team of Eddie Regan and Mark Howard (Directors), Gemma Burns (Choreographer) and Dave Thomas (MD). Thanks also to Carol May and her junior chorus and the rest of the cast, crew and volunteers. We were delighted that the members voted Arron McGregor as the recipient of the Brian Lawson Award for this show. The Chairman’s Cup was awarded to Mark Howard not only for his work on the pantomime but his dedication to the Society throughout the year.
Just before the first restrictions were introduced, we were delighted to attend the NODA Awards in February 2020 which covered Oliver! in May 2019 as well as Dick Whittington.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
We would like to record our thanks to Dave Thomas and Delphine Walton for continuing to run the show choir, who once again performed at the Playhouse Christmas Show in December 2019. Following the enforced break that started in March 2020, a zoom catch up was held in March 2021 and regular zoom sessions continued until we could finally meet again in person in July 2021.
Unfortunately, we believe as a result of the pandemic, the regular attendees of the show choir have reduced in number and towards the end of 2021 we struggled to find enough people to perform and to cover the costs of the rehearsals. The Trustees have therefore decided that from January 2022 the show choir will take a break, until at least after Calendar Girls, so the focus of the Society can be on the show.
At the start of 2020, with no sign of the Guild Hall re-opening, the Trustees were considering various options regarding future productions, not just at The Playhouse but at potential alternative venues in the city. Unfortunately, the arrival of the pandemic meant that discussions came to an abrupt end, and all activities had to cease. The final 12 months of the old charity were very quiet with just a few show choir rehearsals taking place before everything ground to a halt. The Trustees continued to meet via Zoom and took the opportunity of lockdown to review all the Society policies and procedures.
We were delighted that, after many, many years of searching, we found Honorary Solicitors. Angela Vodden and Dave Atherton, of Angela Vodden Associates,
agreed to take on the role and were invaluable in assisting us with the negotiations when the lease for our unit at Pittman Court came up for renewal in January 2021. We successfully renewed the lease for a five-year term, with a break clause after 3 years. We must thank Angela and Dave for their hard work, and we are grateful for their continued support.
The Trustees decided to waive the membership subscriptions for the period from 1[st] July 2020 to 30[th] June 2021 as many members were made redundant or placed on furlough. Subscriptions became due again in July 2021 and we would encourage anyone who has not yet paid their membership fees to do so prior to the next financial year end in June 2022.
In April 2021 we were fortunate to receive a Covid Grant of £10,508 from Preston City Council, part of which covered the end of the final financial period of the old charity. Along with two Theatre Tax Relief claims for 17/18 and 18/19 amounting to £3,353, this meant that the financial surplus for the period ending 31[st] December 2020 was £10,572. Added to the reserves brought forward as at 1[st] July 2019 of £13,996, this resulted in a total of £24,568 which was transferred to the new charity. The financial summary for these 18 months can be found on page XXXXXXXXX.
For the first six months of the new charity, which this Annual Report covers, no activities were able to take place. The balance of the Covid Grant which fell into this period more than covered the running costs and the surplus for the six months was £4,996. This meant that the total reserves as at 30[th] June 2021 were £29,564. The financial summary for this six month period can be found on page XXXXXXXXXXXX
This was an excellent start to the new financial year and, with the profit from the 2021 pantomime Goldilocks and the Three Bears, we are in a great position at the start of 2022.
As there was no sign on the Guild Hall re-opening, in early 2021 the Trustees decided to apply for the licence to perform the newly released Calendar Girls, The Musical at The Playhouse. This is due to be performed in June 2022 and, all being well, auditions will take place in January 2022. Due to the seating capacity of the venue we do expect to make a loss on the production however, by the time this show makes it to the stage it will have been more than three years since the Society last staged a musical. With reserves higher than they have been for a number of years we feel it is a positive move and are very much looking forward to a fabulous production.
The Trustees have continued to support The Playhouse with Ruth continuing to serve as a board member and Mark representing the Society on the Playhouse Promotions Sub-Committee. We have fulfilled our “user group” commitments by assisting with front of house duties for outside lets, most notably for the UCLan
shows in Summer 2021. We would like to thank those members who volunteered to help with these shows. As ever we are always looking for more volunteers to assist with both our own shows, and the outside lets, and new training sessions for house managers and bar volunteers will be taking place in early 2022. We would encourage all members to participate in the training and have a go at volunteering. It’s great fun and you meet lots of interesting people!
Looking forward beyond Calendar Girls, we will of course (all being well) be producing another pantomime in 2022 and we still hope that, once Preston City Council have resolved the legal dispute with the former tenants of The Guild Hall, the Charter Theatre will be able to be re-opened. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be back on that stage in 2023, having first performed there 50 years earlier with The King & I back in 1973!
