Mail should be addressed to: TRI IS'I'EES CONSTITUTION OF TILE SOCIETY Falkirk Operatic Society (SCIO) was forn]ed in 2015 and is the succe,s,%or body to Falkirk Operatic Society. The assets of Falkirk Operatic Society were transferred to Falkirk Operatic Society (SCIO wilh effect from 7ih August 2015. The Committee (Trustees) are elected by mernbers at the Annual General Meeting of the Society and hold office until the close of the next Annual General Meeting. The Society is affiliated to the Nationaj Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA). This body ha5 no sPonsIbl11ty for the running of the Society and is an umbrella organisation dedicaied to ihe promotion of amateur theatre. The Society is ajso a member of Falkirk Ans Network (FAN). (fornierly Falkirk Arts & Civic Council) this is an umbrella organisation which liaises between its member organisalions and Falkirk Council. This body may also make grants to its member where appropriate.
PURPOSES OF CIL4RITY The Society shall eucourage the participation of and education of the youth of the area in musical theatre. The society shall take perfonnances into the area with particul focus on groups amd organisations supporting the elderly and disabled. The Society shall support other charitable organisations where appropriate. This was accomplished through charity collections during our September Cabaret, and our April production, The Little Mermaid. APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES The Trnstees are elected by the members of the Society. No external body has the right to make such apFrf)iniments to ihe Committee (Trustees). ACTIVITIES In April 2024 the society perfornied the musical 'The Liitle Mermaid,. The cast covered a range of ages from 16 to over 65. The officials for this produclion have an educational role 10 assist mainly the young people to acquire the confidence and Skill to perform in public to a high standard. When generally it is rare for the April production to make money and the cosis generally exceed income, this remained ihe case this year. we made a large loss on our production of £17.469. The Society encourages groups and disabled lo attend and offer5 some free lickets for group bookings, as well discretionary rates for the elderly, disabled and youn8 people. In addition cares for disabled are given a complementary iicket. It is a150 the Society's policy to rnake collections al the end of the public perfomiances for a rxnge of selected chaTitable organisations. This year £828.40 was raised from the 8eneT05i¢y of audiences. LEVEL OF RESERVES The currenl level of reserves amounts to £7.94.04 in the bank account and £329.77 cash in hand. This represents an incre&se from the previous years accounts. This was entirely due to the granl received from Fa]kirk Council. Were it not for this one off grant, there would not have been any reserves and would have been unable to pui on the produclion. The Trustees and the Society will have work hard to augment that total in order to continue to mount a full scale production. TRUSTEES REMUNERATION The Tn]slees of ihe Society do not receive any remuneration for their services. Expenses are reimbursed. DONATED FACtLITILS Members of the Society donate their tie and money to support the work of the Society. This yeaT donation amounted to £448.63 over and above Subscription income.
