No. 261961. was formed In October 1946. The objertive5 of the Choir. as set out in the Constitution, are to educate the public in the arts and saences, and in particular the art and science of muslc, by the presentatlon of concerts and other actlvltles. The members of the CommSttee during the year were: Nikky Shergold Ichèirl, Gill Douglas Ivice-chairl, Shirley Elliott (Hon. Secretary), Sue Silcock IHon. Treasurer), Mary James, Emma Reed. Andrew Gummer, Ruth Scott, Nick Symondson. Val Fagan Review of the yearfs activities.. May 2020 saw the choir well into the first Cowd lockdown of the year. Having detided to cancel the summer concert, any attempt at choir rehearsal even Via Zoom was put on hold. The soclal committee for the choir then went into actlon and suggested producing a choir cookb¢)ok. This was initially intended to maintain cholr contacts but was so well supported that It became a fiJndraLslng projett. When the book was publlshed, It was sold to approving cholr members In time for Christmas. (fverall. sales were sufficientty buoyant to enable the cholrto donate £5 each to two charlties Imindsong and Cheltenham Open tyoorl. as well as l)olster the cholrfunds. When the autumn term came, the committee debated ways that the choir could get back to singing together and pored over rlsk assessments and g¢ernmeftt guideline5, 5aentific papers. and newspaper articles. In September and October, the choir made their first forays into Zoom hearSalS with David Crown and Christine Cairns. As the attuality of achieving face to fa rehearsals once more reded durin8 NovtsNnber and December. the choir engaged David Wynne. a choral conductor in Blm)ingham, who had been running Zoom rehearsa15 for his three choirs since the beginning of lockdown. His command of the technical wizardry needed as well as his musical ability and sense of humour kept the choir going during the dark winter months. The choir even managed two"virtual" perforniances wearing concert dress; one at Christmas and one of the Mozart Requiem which had been rehearsed durlng the spring terni. Covid restrictions were easSng slowly after Easter 2021 and the choir started to make plans for face-to-face rehearsals. Our regular conductor, David Crown, started by running Zoom rehearsals in April and early May and then the choir found a large barn owned by the Cotswold Ridingfor the Disabled and we set up face to face rehearsals In the bam with the choir in two sittings. It was great to be able to sing together again and 98 member5 of the choir took part in most of the rehearsa15. The planned summer conrt In TewkesburyAbbey was cantelled due to Covid
chetrtenham bach choir restrictions, but we held a final concert version of the repertoire we had rehearsed in the barn and broke for the summer break in a theerful frameofmind. Finances.. The attached financial statements show the current stste of the choirfs finan$. The d1r achieved a surplus of general income over expenditure of just under £17.5(LJ. This is due in the main to the generosity of members who continued to pay their subscriptions even though the benefits were not as might have been expected. There was a small deficit In the concert programme of just over £IOCM) as the choir felt that some recompense wa5 due to the orchestra and sololsts for the canolled but planned summer concert. Overall, the choir has made a pmfit of lust over £16,W). The tommittee are mindful of thrs and will fattor th15 Into our planned programme for the future. The choirfs total available assets on 30, April 2021 were £28,931 In the unrestricted General Fund, £30,467 In the Cedric Vir8in Fund and £12.623 in Caroline's Fund.
