Autumn Production
We are delighted to announce that we will be staging our next play from November 23rd-27th 2021. This will be ‘Local Affairs’ by Richard Harris, of ‘Outside Edge’ fame. Auditions have now taken place and the play has been cast. Please see ‘Next Production‘ page of our website for further details.
Activity
As we are all aware, from March 2020 our lives changed significantly with the advent of COVID 19 and the first lockdown, which began on 24th March. It was therefore necessary to postpone the production we had planned for June of that year and, despite attempting to put it on on two alternative occasions, it was finally decided to cancel this production and possibly stage it at some future date.
However, as restrictions have slowly eased, we are pleased to say that we are well on the way to putting on our first production in two years in November which is entitled ‘Local Affairs’ written by Richard Harris of ‘Outside Edge’ fame. This is an extremely funny play and we thought it was an appropriate production to put on as our return to the stage. It is being wonderfully directed by Helen Halliday, who has directed several plays for us in the past. We hope that the audience will leave with smiles on their faces.
Our previous productions –“Comfort & Joy” (2019) ”The Happiest Days of Your Life” (2019) and ”Relative Values” (2018) were amongst our very best events and we are grateful to our directors, Pam Edmonds, Heather Young and Helen Halliday, and to all of the talented cast and crew who helped to make these three productions so successful.
AGM
As a result of the Covid Pandemic we have had to cancel our AGM in 2020. However a copy of the Trustees Report & Accounts, which have been submitted to the Charity Commission, can be seen by clicking on the link below.
As this is our first reporting period since being granted charity status, we are required to start the financial period from the date we became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation ( CIO ) . As a result, the attached accounts cover a 13 month period . In future, the accounts will revert to the 12 month period of 1st September to 31st August of the following year.
As this would have been the first AGM since the CIO was established, there is no obligation for any of the Trustees to retire by rotation on this occasion. No Trustees or Committee members have asked to retire and therefore until the next AGM the current Trustees and committee members will remain in office.
