Type of governing document Markinch Amateur Operatic Society is governed by a constitution.
Trustee recruitment and appointment Trustees are recruited from within the Society and are appointed at the Annual General Meeting. Trustees for the financial year ending 30-06-2024 were appointed at the AGM on 22-09-2023.
Charitable purposes The aims of the Society are to increase the knowledge of the public in performing arts and in particular, musical theatre. This is achieved by the presentation of public performances and other related activities which promote live theatre in the local community and so enable the society members to participate in various aspects of the performing arts.
Summary of the main activities Over a six-month period, we undertake the rehearsal and production of a in relation to these objects musical theatre show for a 5-night run in March of each year, allowing members to either perform on stage or to be involved in other roles associated with producing a stage show, such as: - Stage Management, Scenery, Lighting, Props, Costumes and Make-Up etc.

|Summary ofthe main achievements of||We successfully rehearsed and produced a 5-night run ofthe popular|
|---|---|
|the charity during the financial period|stage show ‘The Producers. Ticket sales were unfortunately down from|
||the previous year and as anticipated, the cost of putting on a musical|
||theatre show continues to increase in general. We also had to hire|
||additional lighting and stage equipment for this show.|
||The Balance Sheet shows a deficit of £4558.|
||The main source of our income came from the sale of tickets for our|
||performances, members and patrons’ fees, and the various fundraising|
||activities we hold throughout the year.|
||Outgoings included all the expected costs of putting on a stage show,|
||performance royalties and insurance, butwere higher than usual due to|
||theadditionalequipmenthirecosts.|
|Briefstatement ofthe charity’s policy|The majority ofthe banked funds held by the charity are unrestricted funds|
|---|---|
|on reserves|and represent income earned but not yet utilised in supporting the|
||charity’s activities. The restricted funds are monies held in trust or|
||received from grants for specific purposes, but not yet allocated.|
||At 30-06-2024, the charity held £19050 of unrestricted funds in the bank|
||account. An additional £25784 of restricted funds was held in three trust|
||funds to ensure the future financial stability ofthe Society. The Trustees|
||consider this to be sufficient to allow the work ofthe charity to continue.|
|Details of any deficit|The deficit of£4558 is partly due to reduced ticket sales and partly to a|
||large amount of our technical equipment being at the end of its useable|
||life necessitating the hire of additional lighting and staging equipment for|
||thisshow.|
