NEWCASTLE AMATEUR OPERATIC SOCIETY
In 2022 the Society staged two productions : ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ in March 2022, and ‘Wind in the Willows’ in October 2022. These ambitious productions were well received by local audiences, but rising costs in the sector meant that neither show was a financial success, and an overall loss was incurred.
Attempts were made to mitigate the loss through fund raising events organised by the Committee, and by hiring out props from Wind in the Willows to other societies. In addition, donations were received from the Chairman, Secretary and Cromartie Ltd. As a result, the Society’s cash reserve fell by only £1762 to £8718. The Committee has decided to pause productions in 2023 to further concentrate on fund raising.
