- 1* This the first year of normal subscription renewals since 2020 because of the pandemic
- 2* 4 ordinary Westminster Hall concerts took place in 2021-2022. Excluding the concert at the Royal Over-Seas League in June, 7 ordinary concerts took place at Westminster Cathedral Hall in the year 2022-2023.
- 3* £2000 and £1000 were donated by our most supportive members to the New Year’s Party in January 2023. The costs of the Party (£13,916) were covered by ticket sales (£7515) and £6111.00 of Mrs. Harasowski’s bequest, leaving £581.80. Therefore the donated £3000 and £581.80 left from the bequest will go to sponsor the Hatchlands concert on June 18[th] this year.
- 4* No allocation from the Gala A/c was needed in 2021-2022 because of funds raised by the Wigmore Hall Gala, but the larger than usual allocation of 25,000 for 2022-2023 was needed to fund the Celebrity Series which ran until January 2023. The 10,000 allocation for 2023-2024 was paid early.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have examined the attached financial statements.
In my opinion they appear to show a true and fair view of the state of the Chopin Society’s affairs as at 31[st] March 2022.
Yours faithfully,
B Hepplewhite 15 June 2022
