Structure, governance and management
Type of governing document _ Glasgow Orchestral Society is an unincorporated charitable association,
governed by a Constitution. The membership elects a management
committee to oversee the running of the Orchestra.
Trustee recruitment and appointment The Trustees are appointed by the members at the Annual General
Meeting, through an electoral process.
The AGM is usually held in May or June each year where accounts to date
are presented. The Trustees approve the Accounts as soon as possible
after the financial year end on 31 July before handing all relevant
paperwork to the Independent Examiners. Once this is complete all
members are given a copy of the Annual Accounts. (Previously an EGM
was called to approve the accounts however constitutionally this is not
necessary.)
Objectives and activities
Charitable purposes The purpose of the charity, as recorded in our constitution, is to promote
and encourage the study, practice, public appreciation and performance of
music in Glasgow and the surrounding district, and other education and
social purposes connected therewith.
Summary of the main activities The orchestra performed 4 concerts in Glasgow this season. This gave
in relation to these objects maximum practice for members and more members of the public were
able to attend live concerts.

APPENDIX 1

Other optional information

.

As well as the main operating account, GOS had an “Additional Activities” current account. This account will be used for extra events in future and currently holds a small float to keep it open.

GOS also has a Savings Account which currently holds significant funds, primarily due to a generous donation from a large company. These funds will be used for future activities as determined by the orchestra. We explored the idea of organising a tour to Spain, but after receiving details and costs from the organising company, it was decided by a majority of the orchestra not to proceed. Money was moved from the savings account to the main account in order to purchase new percussion, to pay a soloist and conductor, all at the decision of the committee,

The Statement of Balances page now shows all funds belonging to the orchestra and our surplus is healthy. Future discussion will take place to decide on how this money will be used to further the objectives of the group.
