Chairman’s Report: Naturally it is sad for me to begin my final report as Chairman of EGMAF and to be resigning as a Trustee and Member of the Committee. Nonetheless, It is satisfying to be here today at the end of another successful Festival year. Once again I record grateful thanks to our three Section Secretaries, to Brenda and Alan for the handling of the secretarial and financial matters, to Sue for arranging the Volunteers diary, and to all assistants backstage and volunteers at the table. Everyone contributed to maintaining our reputation as the “friendly Festival” both at Brambletye School and Chequer Mead. It is appropriate to mention the efforts of the “new team” at Chequer Mead and I know by word of mouth of their interim manager that the staff very much appreciated the help of EGMAF in ensuring the efficient running of the Festival, a new experience to them. Of course, I reflect on the personal experience of EGMAF for my family. Barbara and I, Andrew and Robert were entered with the choir set up by St Swithun’s Choir Master in the Singing Section in the early 1980’s. The choir won their class. From memory, I believe I was appointed Town Council Representative when I was first elected on to the Council in 1987. Barbara followed me on to the EGMAF Committee and remained with me until her untimely passing in 1998. I would just like to thank the Committee in retrospect for their great support to me and what I have endeavoured to do for EGMAF since. You are not forgotten. And neither is the new Committee. I wish them every success going forward as I divert my efforts towards my own grandchildren and their futures. ## EAST GRINSTEAD MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL ## INCOME AND EXPENDITURE FOR YEAR ENDDING 31 JULY 2025 |INCOME||2024-25||2023-24| |---|---|---|---|---| |Admission (Door)||£11,860.24||£9,974.99| |Donatons||£135.00||£200.00| |Entry Fees||£17,783.00||£10,162.94| |Interest||£448.45||£115.43| |Membership||£0.00||£124.00| |Adverts||£150.00||£220.00| |Bursaries||£0.00||£0.00| |Float/bank||£65.94||£0.00| |TOTAL INCOME||£30,442.63||£20,797.36| |EXPENDITURE||||| |Adjudicators||£3,951.04||£3,920.11| |AGM and Conf||£0.00||£0.00| |Hospitality||£1,355.35||£2,056.59| |Hire of halls||£15,352.29||£13,737.32| |Insurance||£300.00||£300.00| |Printng||£291.70||£1,232.00| |Secretarial Expenses||£1,074.84||£1,990.22| |Subscriptons||£357.50||£506.50| |Misc||£55.00||£0.00| |P&P||£464.60||£382.90| |Float/bank charges||£61.00||£60.75| |Refund of Fees||||£46.00| |Bursary||£500.00||£500.00| |TOTAL EXPENDITURE||£23,763.32||£24,732.39| |SURPLUS DEFICIT||£6,679.31||£3,935.03| |||BALANCE SHEET AS AT 01 August|2025|| |Balance at
