– TRUSTEE REPORT FOR PERIOD MARCH 2020 MARCH 2023
Trustees:
Hazel Beckett Sylvia Rogerson Audrey Tarney
Following our 2019 show Jesus Christ Superstar we were not able to stage a show until January 2022 due to Covid. We were in preparation for our May 2020 show when everything was shut down. We incurred a loss following this show as we had to pay for rehearsal space, publicity which had been printed and had to pay Honoraria to our Producer and Musical Director. We did submit a claim to our insurance company however this did not cover all losses.
We were able to return to rehearsals in September 2021 and staged ‘ELF – The Musical’, 19 January – 23 January 2022. We incurred a loss of £4061.09 which was attributed to people being reluctant to return to the theatre following Covid and a further partial lockdown in December 2021 when our rehearsals were well underway. Fortunately restrictions ended and we were able to perform the show.
Immediately following ELF we went into rehearsals for ‘CALENDAR GIRLS – The Musical’. which was staged in May 2022. This too incurred a loss of £2279.74.
During this period our show for 2023 was selected – ‘SISTER ACT’. Rehearals commenced 31 October 2022.
AGM
We held the Annual General Meeting on Monday 3[rd] October which was well attended, however our President Daivd Brierley was unable to be present therefore the meeting was Chaired by Sylvia Rogerson, Committee Chair.
Subscriptions/Show Fee had been agreed previously by the Trustees d and it was agreed this would increase to £100 and could be paid in two instalments.
UPDATE:
In December 2023 our President David Brierley (ex Trustee) died suddenly therefore we do not have a President at the moment. This will be agreed by current Trustees and made known at the 2023 AGM.
