Structure and Governance
The Charity was established by Trust Deed in 1968 and is registered with the Charity
Commission (number 800154). The Premises are the Woolstore Theatre, High Street, Codford,
Warminster, Wiltshire. BA12 ONE.
Contact details are.. The Secretary, Woolstore Country
Theatre, Hope Cottage, Townsend, Vvylye, Waminster, V￿ltShIre BA12 ORY.
Officers and Trustees are elected by the members at the Annual General Meeting. Trustees are
not remunerated and no expenses are incurred. Training is provided by the existing Trustees.
Ob'ectives and Activities
The Objects of the Charity are to educate the public in the dramatic and operatic arts and to
further the development of public appreciation of the same. It is organised as an independent
association of local residents who become members by subscription. The main activity is the
production of plays, drama and musicals by amateurs. Trips to professional performances of
plays are organised and the theatre also shows films and organises workshops and is used by
local organisations for varying events.
The charity received £2,198 in subscription in the year {2023.. £1,910) and is focused on
expanding the membership in future periods.
The Trustees confimi that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charities
Commission's general guidance on public benefit and consider that the activities and decisions of
the charity are conducted in accordance wrth the guidance.

Achievements and Performan
The charity has had both a busy and profitable year, producing a variety of productions, all of
which made a profit. The productions that have taken place are.. a festival of one act plays,
including festival winner 'Gilly's Gem., a night at the Opera, a sing-along to The Greatest
Showman, Measure for Measure by the Commandery Players, the singing duo 'Coda', three
nights of one act plays. Rudolph and the Jingle Tree, and 11 film nights.
The success of these productions and events has meant that the charity has been able to
reinvest profits to continue upgrading the lighting and sound equipment, allowing the theatre to
further increase its appeal.
The Trustees are also most grateful for the generous gift of £2,500 from the estate of Doug
Smith, which is to be used exclusively for promoting the involvement of young people within the
theatre.
Finally. although by no means least, being able to undertake such a varied collection of activities,
would not be possible without the passion and dedication from the charity's body of volunteers,
who give their time and expertise for the good of the charity and the local community. The eclectic
mix of skills and talent provided by the volunteers ranges from Directors for the plays and
musicals, to actors and singers. to the wardrobe and props, to design and printing of the
programmes, to the people who help backstage, front of house, running the bar and overall
keeping the theatre a welcoming place to visit.
We could not function without the dedication of these volunteers, and the support of our
members, who collectively are our greatest achievement. To all, we offer the sincerest of
gratitude and thanks.
Financial review
In order to ensure the ongoing success of the theatre a programme of improvements and repairs
has been initiated and will continue into the current period.
In the year ended 30th June 2023 a programme of electrical and lighting repairs was completed.
Additional refurbishment has continued in the year ended 30th June 2024, including new carpets
and general maintenance. Repair and maintenance costs in the year ended 30th June 2024
totslled £10,157 (2023.. £8,776).

Net outgoing resources in the year ended 30th June 2024 were £1,701 (2023: £14,257).
The charity has sufficient reserves to ensure that these costs can be incurred to ensure the future
success of the Woolstore.
The Trustees keep the risks affecting the Theatre under review and also the policies relating to
child protection. equality, health and safety etc with which we have to comply.
