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. ## **Audrey Tarney** Registered as a Charity No. 515089 **Trustee LADOS 28/3/2023** Registered as a Charity No. 515089 LADOS Income and Expenditure Account For Year Ended 31st May 2022 Income 2022 Elf & Calendar Girls 2021 Hairspray Sale of Seats Raffle Sales Programme Sales Programme Advertisements Donations Subscriptions Costume lee Plops sales Royalties & Rehearsal Materials refund Insurance claim Bank Interest Recewed 48,348.00 148.00 924.30 160.00 1.200.04 840.00 267.00 475.00 1,900.00 80.11 20.00 Total income 51,907.34 2,455.11 Exp•ndlture Royalties & Rehearsal Malerials Publicity & Posters & Prog Ads Costumes l Dressing Musical Accompaniment Scenery & Props Stage Lighting Siage Sound System5 Stage Staff Theatre Rent & Tickets Rehearsal Room Rent Orchestra Honoraria & Coaching Credit Card Fees Bank charges Insurance Postage Presents & Hospitality Repairs Social Costs Secretarial Expenses NODA Subs and Medals Subscriptions refund Accountancy Charges Printing Costs Donations Website Costs 12,055.02 1,882.90 4.145 75 655.00 8.503 24 4.884 00 2,778.99 1,300.00 9.960.00 2,477.50 3,915.00 4,000.00 649.63 127.69 300.29 61.02 201.14 68.85 311.67 38.04 30.00 243.00 72.00 1,110.00 148.00 Total expenditure 158.288. 171 11.630.561 Net Surplus I (Lossl 16.380.831 824.55 LADOS 8alanc• Sh••t as at 31st May 2022 2022 2021 Curr•nt Assots Royal Bank of S¢olland - Cuirent Accounl Royal Bank of Scotland - High Interest Account Barclays National Savings Investment Account National Savings Income Bond Paypal Cash in Hand Debtors Prepayments 432.74 85.24 14,392.19 1,234.61 11.(KJO 00 472.82 1,784.70 10.095.71 1,D98.17 1.085.17 20.043.86 1,234.61 11.0(K).00 0.00 446.64 632.00 3.058.59 39,498.01 38.599.04 Curr•nt Liabiliti•s Creditors Accruals 7.379.80 100.00 7,379.80 1CKI.00 N•t Currant Assots 32.118.21 38,499.04 £ 32.118.21 £ 38.499 04 RePr￿ented By: Capital Ac¢ount Opening Capital Nel Ideficilllsurplus for the year 38.499.04 6.380.83 37,674.49 824.55 £ 32.118.21 £ 38,499.04 CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND AND WALES Independent examiner's report on the accounts Section A Independent Examiner's Report Report to the trustees The Lancaster Amateur Dramatic and Operatic So¢iety On accounts for the year ended 31 May 2022 Charity no (if any) 515089 Set out on pages I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charty (Ihe Trust") for the year ended 3110512022.
