Rehearsals for **Charlie and the Chocolate Factory** commenced in October 2024 and will be staged in May 2025. Many new members came along to the first rehearsal, including two children who will take the title role and in total we have a cast of 33. Ticket prices include school groups, adult groups and first night price. ## **AGM** The AGM was held 30 September 2024 and was well attended. This was Chaired by Sylvia Rogerson, President of LADOS. Subscriptions/Show Fee had been agreed previously by the Trustees and it was agreed this would remain the same as last year - £100. ## **Future Plans** We have booked our 2026 show and this will be **The Wizard of Oz** and once again will include Adults and Children. As is always the case these days, costs are increasing We are fortunate to have a wonderful Social Committee who are proving very successful in raising funds which go towards the cost of the show. ## **Audrey Tarney Trustee LADOS 19/3/2025** Registered as a Charity No. 515089 ## **LADOS** ## **Income and Expenditure Account For Year Ended 31st May 2024** ## **Income** |Sale of Seats
