Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestral Society Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2025
The Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestral Society (also known as Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra or simply SPO ) is registered with the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales (No 506840) and is governed by constitution first adopted 14 November 1891 and last revised in September 2016
The address of the correspondent is Felicity Fuller, 4 Moorvale, Marsden HD7 6AG.
General e-mail: info@spo.org.uk Some officer-specific e-mail addresses are also given on our website, www.spo.org.uk , w hich has further information about our activities and future events.

Officers and other committee members are elected by Society members at the Annual General Meeting, held within six months of the financial year-end. At its first committee meeting, the new committee elects a chairman from among its number. The non-voting non-trustee members of the committee are the Patrons' Representative (normally elected by the patrons present at the AGM) and any other co-optees. None are members of the Society and were:-
Gordon Beever . . . . . . . . . Patrons' Representative Matthew Chadbond . . . . . Leader* Ben Ellin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Music Director
Objectives, Organisation and Activities
The objectives of the Society are to promote, improve, develop and maintain public education in and appreciation of the art and science of orchestral music in all its aspects by the presentation of public orchestral concerts and recitals and by such other ways as the Society may determine, through its committee. The Society has an Equal Opportunities Policy that is distributed to all members and is available on request. Acceptance of a new member may be dependent upon there being vacancies in the relevant section.
The Society has no employees, all the work involved in running it being performed by volunteers. The management of the Society, and its performances and the control of its finances are vested in the committee, which conducts its business through monthly meetings. Four sub-committees, namely Finance, Programming, Concert Management and Personnel, whose members are drawn from the main committee, meet on an ad hoc basis to assist the main committee in its work. The Society is a member of Making Music (The National Federation of Music Societies) and Huddersfield Arts Council.
The orchestra rehearses at least once a week, with a break of approximately eight weeks in the summer. Currently it performs four ( main) concerts per year in Huddersfield Town Hall, and a number of others elsewhere.
Review of Progress and Achievements
Congratulations should be extended to all SPO members for some very memorable musical performances during the year. It was another busy season. The four Huddersfield Town Hall concerts as usual formed the main focus with Bruckner’s 8[th] Symphony and Mahler’s 1[st] Symphony bookending the season. Between these was a very well attended concert ending with Holst’s Planet Suite and a concert featuring American inspired music ending with Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances. Also presented were three well attended concerts in Slaithwaite Civic Hall, now established as an important part of the SPO concert calendar.
Of special note were some excellent solo performances: at the Town Hall cellist Peter Dixon (Bloch Schelomo) promising young brass star Claire Marsden and tenor Joseph Buckmaster (Britten Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings) and at the Civic Concerts Matthew Chadbond and Megan Hart (Mozart Sinfonia Concertante) and Jennifer Nicks (Francaix Double Bass Concerto).
The SPO continues to receive invitations for additional concerts, and this year saw three further opportunities to perform, firstly in a well-attended Huddersfield Town Hall with Huddersfield Choral Society and conductor Ellie Slorach, and later in the year in celebration of 200 years of public passenger railways a concert in York Railway Museum. Here in a programme of railway inspired music the centrepiece was a performance of Benjamin Ellin’s concerto for bass trombone Gresley performed by guest soloist Christian Jones. The third extra concert and perhaps the social highlight of the year for SPO members was a return tour to the Isle of Man to join IOM Symphony Orchestra in forming a large orchestra to perform Britten’s Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra and Mahler’s First Symphony. Touring has become a very enjoyable experience for SPO players and many enquired about the possibility of future tours during their return journey.
Finances remain in good health but one area of continued concern for the management committee is low audience attendance at several Town Hall concerts.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestral Society ("the Trust")
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination, which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
• the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or • the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
