## **ST. AUSTELL AMATEUR OPERATIC SOCIETY** ## **UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS** **For the year ended 31st May 2025** **(Registered Charity No. 256573)** ## **ST. AUSTELL AMATEUR OPERATIC SOCIETY** ## **2025 ANNUAL REPORT** ## **Basis of Accounts** The accounts have been prepared on an accrual basis. Trustees President Trevor Ternouth Chairperson Mr. C. Munday Secretary Mrs M. Jane Treasurer Mrs. S.G. Housman Review of the year Legally Blonde was a show which reached out to a newer audience and sales were the best since post-Covid. We anticipated higher costs with the Orchestra and the Society came together and performed a concert to mitigate this cost. However with the general increase in costs and self-run foyer services we faced a loss of income out of our control. Financial decisions made by the Committee moving forward will be crucial to financial success and the ability for the Society to remain financially stable. On behalf of the St. Austell A.O.S. ................................................................ Mr. C. Munday (Chairperson) Date: ................................................ 1 ## **ST.
