**Hereford Musical Theatre Company (formerly Hereford Amateur Operatic Society)** **est. 1898** **Registered Charity Number: 511315** ## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 31 December 2022** ## **Headquarters** The Tomkins Theatre 148 Whitecross Road HEREFORD HR4 0DH ## **Bank** Lloyds Bank PLC Business Banking PO Box 1000 ANDOVER BX1 1LT ## **Independent Examiner** Mrs Barbara Double ## **Charitable Status** Hereford Musical Theatre Company is a Registered Charity (Number: 511315), which is an unincorporated association. ## **Governing Document** Constitution of 1898 as amended on 24 February 1981 and 13 March 2007. ## **Trustees** Mr Paul Morris Mr George Powell Mrs Nicolette Willett The Trustees are elected by the members. ## **Governance** Membership of Hereford Musical Theatre Company is open to all those over the age of sixteen years having sympathy with the objects of the society and desiring actively to further it and who pay the annual subscription as appropriate. The annual subscription is determined by the Executive Committee and agreed by the members at the Annual General Meeting. In accordance with the constitution, the Executive Committee is elected by the members at the Annual General Meeting. It meets regularly throughout the year (normally once a month) and has responsibility for the day to day running of the society, and its financial and legal responsibilities. ## **Charitable Objects** To educate the public in the dramatic and operatic arts and to further the development of public appreciation and taste in the said arts. ## **Activities** To this end, HMTC aims to present a variety of full-scale musical theatre productions, considering the suitability and marketability of each. Each year, one show is normally presented at Hereford’s Courtyard Theatre (usually in November) and another at our own Tomkins Theatre, usually in the late spring or early summer. In addition, there is usually a concert of seasonal music in December. We run an active youth section for young people aged between eight and fifteen, which meets regularly on Sundays during term time. Each year, the youth section normally presents its own production – either an appropriate full-scale musical or a specific junior version – and/or a concert performance enabling as many as possible to perform. The young people also have the opportunity to participate in the main society productions, when there are roles for them. Members who do not wish to perform on stage are encouraged to participate in productions in other ways, such as stage crew, props, wardrobe, makeup, front of house, hospitality, etc. HMTC also runs social and fundraising activities, in order to encourage participation amongst members and to help fund major productions. ## **Annual Review** We ended 2022 in a better financial position than we started it which, considering the ongoing financial crisis was quite an achievement! As we emerged from COVID and started to “get back to some kind of normal”, it was good to see subs in most categories going up again from 2021, but 50 Club membership was down. Income from Hall Hire is always a critical element in keeping us going and, with our spiralling costs, especially for energy, every hire is crucial. Don’t forget that the hall is available for booking for parties, social gatherings, meetings, etc. Expenditure on Bar Stock appears to be down in 2022. This is down to two things: 1) The bar is far less used on a weekly basis than in the past; 2) The bar is mainly stocked prior to shows, concerts and events, so a lot of the costs are shown in the show breakdowns. In addition to shows and concerts, we had two events which yielded healthy profits. The Christmas Craft Fair was a great success and, of course, it was great to have another Dinner Dance! It wasn’t intended to be a money-spinner but, due to the terrific level of support, yielded a great profit. A new appendix has been added a to this year’s accounts, Appendix D “Event Totals”, to show the balances for each event that has been run. Some events, such as the trip to watch “The Addams Family” in Lichfield, were not fund raisers at all, but still added a small profit to the coffers! Prior to starting it, we thought that even if we made ‘Calendar Girls’ a sellout, we wouldn’t do much more than break even… how wrong we were. It was a terrific effort all round. The addition of the “WI stall” and the sale of ice creams helped to boost profits, but it was also the first show at the Tomkins Theatre, where we had a contactless card reader in action, and we really noticed the difference! Everyone who was involved in ‘Calendar Girls’ enjoyed it immensely and it was a job very well done! Whilst ‘The Addams Family’ did not yield a profit, it was not for want of trying. Costs at the Courtyard continue to rise and it was hard going to sell tickets at the height of the energy crisis. As always, the team put every ounce of effort into the show and the audience response was fantastic. At one point, we were anticipating a far greater loss and, therefore, coming in at a loss of just over £4000 was still something of a success, if a little muted, and, when you put it together with ‘Calendar Girls’, we still ended the year very slightly “up” on our two main shows. With a roughly “break even” from our main shows, it was up to the other shows and concerts to help us out and, once more, they didn’t disappoint. The team behind ‘Let’s Deck the Halls Again’ did a great job, bringing in just over £1500, but the last word on shows must go to our wonderful youth group and the team who continue to work their magic with our youngsters. ‘Matilda’ was a tremendous show, bringing in over £1600, and that was supplemented wonderfully with almost another £1000 from their summer concert. If you add that to the near £1400 from youth group subs, that’s over £4000 that the youth group has contributed to the reserves… put simply, what would we do without them? ## **HEREFORD MUSICAL THEATRE COMPANY** **AUDITED ACCOUNTS 2022** 2 **HMTC ACCOUNTS 2022** **2022** **2021** ## **INCOME** |Membership

It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material repect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; have not been met; or - (ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
