C H A I R M A N S R E P O R T
The theatres 70[th] Year in line with the Queens Platinum Jubilee. Finally, no more lockdowns. December 2021 opened with the classic old school family pantomime Sleeping Beauty live following last years Covid restricted version.
We have had a range of productions over the course of this year with a multitude of new groups coming to use the building and continue with hires moving forward. I would like to thank the management committee, officers and those involved in the productions for their determination in supporting the theatre getting it back up and running.
New groups coming to us include, Mainstream, Sophie Dee, Base Performing arts, Debut and also with further bookings coming up for Lanes dance academy, United sports coaching, Nicolson academy, Willow wood Hospice Charles Dickens readings, and returning Pinked Floyd, circus star, La volta, and much more.
We still continue to ask our groups to support through fundraising and the majority of groups have not let us down again this year making us see some huge changes to the building.
We are still amending some policies and procedures following feedback from inspections however have come on a very long way from where we were at the start of the year. One key implementation this year was the requirement of a safeguarding officer and update on our policies and around this. The feedback we received from licencing visits has been nothing but praise on most occasions advising us of the level of detail and professionalism we strive towards as the theatre but also when supporting groups who hire the building. A huge win which I feel safeguarding has played a major part in, is the introduction of a volunteer’s rate for chaperones within the Tameside Borough. This is something groups have been fighting for, for a while now and I feel with the support of groups coming together from the Festival association and speaking as one voice. We have been able to achieve change for the better of all groups that use our premises.
Another huge achievement for the theatre is bringing in own bar. This has generated the theatre thousands of pounds when we really needed it and helped fund the regeneration of the building and its further development. This also has been heavily helped by the introduction of the volunteer programme which is now up to a figure of 25 with a further 21 delegates awaiting training dates. Since December our volunteers have worked up a massive 1611.15 hours
Further modernisation, cleaning and decorating has been completed over the summer period with a huge thank you to all the volunteers involved including those who are not on our volunteer schemes but have dedicated their time to us.
The biggest achievement of this year was the development of the front of our building to bring the theatre back to life and raise our profile in the community. This consisted of the BIGG reopening named after Roger and Carol Bigg in honour of their 50 years of service to the theatre. The event was a huge success involving constituent bodies performing sections from upcoming or previous showings including the theatres very first adult
Pantomime. This was then followed by speeches and a full front theatre projection display of the theatre’s history and development over the last 70 years. We have had a range of press coverage in relation to this and feel things can only get better moving forward.
We also this year had to replace our Red main tabs and supporting tabs in the same colour following damage from 2021s Panto, the entire replacement was done over the course of the summer period including a new track and we look forward to them lasting us another 20+ years.
Last year, we had seen a minor breakthrough in improving our relationship with our neighbours and we were working on building a better relationship in terms of communication, however this has sadly been set back slightly due to challenges over a licencing application from several members of the Islamic resource centre.
I am particularly proud looking at the attendance record for the committee for this season seeing so many people regularly attending and feel a part of the theatre and have their say. …
Finally after starting to review and implement areas of our constitution that seem to have faded out over the years, we have re-introduced our youth council back to the table, this has been a fantastic opportunity for the future development of the theatre and new ideas and benefits to help support youth development moving forward.
Seeing so many groups and individuals comment on the current condition of the theatre and its facilities is overwhelming at times as my previous visions became reality and I hope to serve another term as Chairman.
