This requires no<br>membership and is aimed at the<br>older members of the local area.<br>It is called ‘Silver Screen’ and a<br>small admission fee of £3 is<br>charged. Tea and cakes are<br>provided free.<br>We were able to raise £25,000 in<br>grants during the year which<br>enabled us to pay our overheads<br>and invest in a ventilation system<br>for the theatre and overhaul our<br>heating system in readiness for<br>when we can welcome back our<br>members and our audience.|

|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**The trustees had previously determined**<br>**that the minimum level of reserves held**<br>**by the Society should be equivalent to six**<br>**months of operating expenditure (about**<br>**£7.5k). However, because of the**<br>**experiences of the pandemic, we have**<br>**decided to increase this to £15k which**<br>**would allow us to survive a whole year**<br>**without any income.**<br>**Current reserves are held in excess of this**<br>**level (35k at 31/07/2021) which will be**<br>**used to fund continuing investment in the**<br>**theatre and its facilities.**|
