Unfortunately the St Anne’s exhibition had to be cancelled because of the weather. Thanks to the exhibitors at both events and their camaraderie and banter which helped make the events an enjoyable experience. Thanks also to our members who dropped by to support us. Not to mention Lytham St Annes News for the video of us all. Last but not least thanks to Robin Theobald for organising the events and supporting the exhibitors so well.** ## **Summer Exhibition** **Wow! The walls and screens were full of amazing pictures from our talented artists and the display cabinet full of delightful crafts from our crafters, the room looked amazing. We were ready for our prestigious preview night and awards ceremony.** **Our lovely President, Jacqueline King, gave her opening address to a packed studio and welcomed special guests Karen Henshaw, Mayor of the Fylde, her consort Howard Henshaw, and the independent adjudicator Julie Nash.** **The Mayor gave her speech and said she was extremely impressed with all she had seen and was looking forward to a closer inspection once the all-important cups had been awarded.** **The Mayor presented the cups and highly commended certificates to each artist to hearty applause from the audience.** **Our President then announced the recipient of the President’s Cup, which is awarded each year in recognition of significant contributions made to the success of the Society.

**01253 731277**| ## **Christmas Gift Fair** **This year we were fortunate to be able to showcase the work of incredible needlewoman, Shelagh Thornber, who lived in Lytham and was a member of the Embroiderers Guild. Her family donated dozens of pieces of her work from framed pictures to hand-made lace and tablecloths. What a generous gift this was and we are presenting some of her work to the Friends of Lytham St Annes Art Collection to enhance the textiles it holds. Some of** **Shelagh’s family came on the day to see the display. Many of the pictures had been bought by members in the run-up to the Fair boosting our final total. There were lots of fabulous, affordable hand-made present ideas on show - Knitwear, jigsaws, new2U handbags and costume jewellery, home decorations, paper crafts, preserves, toys, greeting cards and art materials plua £150 hamper. All this created an appetite and visitors took the chance to buy home cooking too, from mince pies and scones, to celebration cakes, biscuits and even Guinness soda bread! It was a fantastic effort all round, but it couldn’t have happened without volunteers devoting many hours behind the scenes in the run-up to the big day, sorting and labelling donated items and preparing The Studio. More volunteers stepped up to help on the stalls, run the kitchen and generally add to the very convivial atmosphere which cranked up a gear when young pupils from St Peter’s Primary School arrived to get everyone in the Christmas spirit with some lovely carols. Thanks to everyone who played a part.** ## **Liverpool Trip** **What a fabulous day we had in Liverpool, the weather was gorgeous, the company brilliant and the places we visited just fabulous.** ## **Library Revamp 2025** **Over the years the library has proved an invaluable resource for our members providing a background for the history of art as well as books for beginners and more experienced artists on methods of working.** **Many of these books in both the world art movements and the ‘How to do it’ sections are very outdated and need refreshing with more modern techniques as mediums have advanced from the basics available in the previous decades.** **In addition, our comprehensive archive packed with events and photographs lovingly recorded in large portfolios is rarely used and probably the bulk of today’s membership have never even seen what they contain. It’s an amazing history of the society.** **The library is small and these portfolios are impossible to display in there. It needs a dedicated place in the main Studio and we have identified a space near the main noticeboard where a table could display a regularly changing display.** **Many years ago we stopped levying charges for borrowing books and having a designated librarian and it has inevitably led to fewer new books being bought though at the time it was agreed this could happen by applying to the committee for funds.** **We need an overhaul of the system and more shelving to display the books. To that extent we have colour-coded all the books in the different disciplines to make browsing – and returning books – to the correct section much easier.** **New shelving will mean there can be a more attractive display with space for highlighting new books, how the experts deal with the different mediums and a sale shelf for duplicate books and older editions members might like to buy. Already a dozen boxes have gone to local charity shops.** **A brass plaque on the door will be ordered to show it’s the Alan Bealey LSAAS library and archive and there will be a noticeboard explaining how the library works together with a comprehensive guide to the colour-coding. A smaller table will be used to free up the floor area.** **All this will add up to a revitalized and more cohesive space which will be user-friendly for years to come.** **Expenditure: New shelving £105. Brackets to fix the units to the walls £20. Art book catalogues suggest approx five or six new soft-back ‘How to books’ could be purchased for £100 with larger volumes in the range of £20-£30.Gilliam has the bill for the shelving from Graham. I have ordered catalogues for new art books.** **Barbara Waite** **Spring Quiz & Hot Pot Supper** **Our annual quiz and hot pot supper was on the 21st March at The Studio and what a good night it was.** **Gorgeous food by Le Roti and excellent service, lots of laughs and a great quiz by Jacqueline. But I have to say I still think a group of Pug dogs should be called a Puggle hehe.** **Apologies for the lack of pictures.** **Note to self - must do better.** **Lytham Hall Open Air Theatre** **32 adults and 1 child attended the open air theatre at Lytham Hall and from the comments received it seemed everyone had an enjoyable time.** **The shows were:** **A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Little Women** **Romeo and Juliet, The Gondeliers. The Adventures of Dr Doolittle and the The Hound of the Baskervilles** **We are booking to go again this year and the choice of shows is:** **Macbeth** **The Rivals** **Jane Eyre** **The Merry Wives of Windsor** **HMS Pinafore** **The Wind in the Willows** **Defbrillator Fundraising** **We raised the funds for a defibrillator and this is now in situ in the studio.** **We have had a talk on CPR and Defibrillator from Jeff Moore** **Thanks to Fylde Council for accepting our grant application of 50% of the cost of a defibrillator, wall bracket and pads.** **A huge thank you to Ann and Eric Greenhalgh for their significant donation towards the cost of a defibrillator.** **Lastly, thank you to all the members who donated money.** Docusign Envelope ID: 0D295EE2-E810-4767-B809-43204340D132 **REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 513961** ## **Report of the Trustees and** **Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **for** **Lytham St Annes Arts Society** CCW Limited Chartered Accountants 295/297 Church Street Blackpool Lancashire FY1 3PJ Docusign Envelope ID: 0D295EE2-E810-4767-B809-43204340D132 **Lytham St Annes Arts Society** ## **Contents of the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** |||**Page**|| |---|---|---|---| |**Report of the Trustees**||1|| |**Independent Examiner's Report**||2|| |**Statement of Financial Activities**||3|| |**Balance Sheet**||4|| |**Notes to the Financial Statements**|5|to|10| |**Detailed Statement of Financial Activities**|11|to|12| Docusign Envelope ID: 0D295EE2-E810-4767-B809-43204340D132 **Lytham St Annes Arts Society** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do 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.
