BRIDPORT MUSICAL THEATRE COMPANY TRusfEES MANAGEMENT REPORT FOR Y.E. 31.12.2023 After a good start to the year with well attended and successful auditions in February for our production of Kipps planned for August 2023, the company suffered a set-back owing to the sudden ill-health of our secretary, producer and director, Dave Swaffield. He was so unwell that he was no longer able to Continue but we were extremely fortunate with the rest of our excellent production team stepping up and going on to produce the absolutely, outstsnding musical theatre production of Kipps, playing to sell out audiences and receiving Standing ovations for all performances. We have been supported as alway5 by otjr fantastic fundraising team with a great summer Bingo, stslls at the local Charter Fair, Car Boot Sales and our raffles. We also had generous donations from our local Carnival which we took part in and the Dorset Arts Society. Sadly, Dave Swaffield, trustees, an important founder member of the company since it wa5 set up 15 years ago passed away in early September. He wa5 the hub of our theatre company and contributed $0 much for all that time. He will be sorely missed. BMTC is now looking forward to an exciting 2024 with production5 of a Memorial Concert for Dave in March and the musical theatre show 'Kinky Boots, in August. It should be noted that the deficit in the published accounts is expected to be fully recouped early in the financial Year through the recovery of gift aid and the proceeds from the Memorial Concert to be held in March 2024. Tony Glover Chair of Trustees
