A successful show, it returned a profit. Our planned production of _Goldilocks and the Three Bears_ unfortunately again fell prey to increasing covid numbers and threats of further lockdown measures and was cancelled in mid-December. This led to some financial loss due to unrecoverable expenses. In April 2022, we were finally able to present _Our House_ at the Questors Theatre, postponed since April 2020. Though we faced increased production costs due to the unavoidable repeated rehearsal period, only a very small loss was incurred. ## **Financial Report:** See attached statement ## **Overall review:** The Society is suitably structured and, despite some losses due to the effects of the Covid pandemic on our production schedule, the company remains financially secure to return to our normal programme of business. * 8 o o o % 1188 88&38 &88 %88 8 S8 8 8 11 8 8 8 8 8 8 I 8 88% ¥ 8 8 8 ¥ 11 * * * 4Y %88 8 S8 8 8 11 8 8 8 8 8 8 I 8 88% ¥ 8 8 8 ¥ 11 * * * 4Y
