EPSOM CHORAL SOCIETY
TRUSTEES? REPORT FOR THE YEAR EiYDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Objectives and acth4tie8
The objects of the s(￿lety are to further and assist in the musicaJ education of Fwple of the Borough of Epsom
and Ewell and neighbouring ar¢as, to provide facilities for th¢ ￿dY and ￿hearSal of chordl and other music by
promoting and participating in public Frfonnance and to supp)rt and participate in the Leith Hill Musical
Festival alld other festivals and activities related to tts obje£ts.
A revievi of achiev¢ments and perfornwice dllriDg the year
The 2021 to 2022 season was a vast improvement on th¢ pyevious two. but was still affected by the lingering
constraints of the pandemic. 2022 was our Centenary year and every effort was made to c¢l¢brate this fact.
ECS managed to r¢turn to giving four full concerts with liv¢ audi¢n¢e4 though these audiences were still
rightly cautious about attending in large Dumbers. The Carol Conc¢rL for exampl4 had only half the number
that would nornially attend. We were able lo wti¢ipate in the txith Hill Music Festival agatn, but this too
suffered from lack of partictpants and audience. being held at the time of another rise in Covid inf￿tiOn levels.
Spirits were not dampened though. and the y¢ar ¢rded with a flourish of 'Songs from the Shows, and a three-
day singing trÈp to Swanage. ECS still managed to help rnise fi￿ds, and spirits. in the wider community
throughout the year. with ¢arol singing in the High Street and care homes. promoting a local charity at OUT
carol concert, and singing for lo￿1 veterans. We thank John Taylor for his efforts this year as he organised and
hosted the only two ECS fimdraising events we feh able to hold. We also thank Julian Collings (MD) and
Marion Lea {￿CoMpAni$l) for their steadfast supp)rt and guidanc¢ as w¢ ￿turn to norn￿1ty ill the world of
music.
Review of financial position at end of reportillg
There was a concert deficit of £8,080 which arose mainly fr(￿ll the Autumn 2021 and Summer 2022 concerts
and from the fa¢t that [￿)st£0vid audiences wer¢ still recovering so that th¢ Carol Concert did not make its
nornial surplus. We also received the very moving and wonderful i£ga¢y from Sally Stuart and the Cash at
bank and in hand increafjed to £25.122. Given th¢ current economi¢ uncertainty and with rising Interest rate4
the most appropriate vehicle for holding our surplus funds is currentty under review and an additional sum wil
be trall$fe￿ed from the current account to this vehicle deFnding on our iMM￿late cash requirements ill the
coming ycar.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the Society to mainknn th¢ l¢v¢l of resoves necew to ensure the financial commithients
of the Society can be achieved on a regular basis from the incom¢ pr(xlu¢¢d by subscription itLcome and other
sourc¢s. The Trnslees have ¢onsidered the needs of the Society and have a￿eed that the Society needs to hold
in r¢seNe an amount at least equal to a twm's ¢xp¢ns¢s that w¢ Could not wv¢r frrAn inwm¢. or a large
concert that drew no audience. The TTUStees consider that we should set &5ide £7.(M)O for this.
Plans for the futur¢
The trustees do not Prop￿ to deviate from the current objectives and activities of the Charity as detailed
above.
