Hire of Premises

• Thank you to Paul Horsler our Premises manager for all his help and support with this

• Theatre Groups – AFDS, Parados, St Andrews, Phoenix Players

• Garret Sessions

• Hiring our premises is a source of income for the group and where this doesn’t clash we will always try to accommodate bookings as it also increases our profile externally; if anyone feels that they could support with manning the bar during our hall bookings please could you let Paul know so that we can increase people that we can call on

What has gone well this year

• Membership has grown in the past 12 months and continues to be healthy and TADS Teens is now at full capacity with a Waiting List

• We provided a variety of different productions this year to positive feedback from our audiences and NODA

• Hall bookings from external hires has increased and this has been an additional form of revenue not just from the hire fees but also linked to bar takings

• Social Media has increased and posts have between1.5k and 3k and we share all our productions across local sites, other theatre groups and the wider area – this is for auditions, productions and social events

• We have increased our visibility by being involved in as many local events as we can and have met with the Parish Council to be a part of their Neighbourhood Plan.

• We received a £300 grant from the Parish Council to fund the carpet tiles, noticeboard and glasses

• We ran Summer School in 2024 which was really successful and increased our profile and we are excited to run this again in August 2025

Where can we improve

• We are looking at ways that we can improve our grant bids to give us the best chance of success and Anni has worked really hard this year to try and secure us further funding. We need to look for sources of income and investment to maintain and improve your theatre

• We still struggle for numbers at working parties and set build and we need people to enable us to maintain the theatre etc- we really need your support with this.

• We are always excited to have new people to direct and if you are interested in this then please bring your ideas to the committee.

The Future

• Thank you for accepting me as your Chairman for the past 3 years and sad to be standing down but my heart will always be a part of TADS. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and will continue to support via the committee and wherever I can.

• To continue to grow as a group and enjoy our love of theatre

• To ensure that everyone who enters TADS is welcomed and wants to stay – retention of members is vital to enable us to continue to move forward and provide an array of talent.

• TADS has always felt different often described as a family and that’s how I hope that we will remain where everyone feels that their talent (whatever that is) is acknowledged and valued. TADS feels to many like a safe space where regardless of who you are and whatever your background you will always be a part of us.
