CIO Constitution

Under our constitution, one-third of the number of Trustees must retire by rotation each year at the AGM but, under Section 16, are eligible for reappointment. As a result, Clyde Young (Treasurer) & Irene Osprey stepped down and were re-elected. All other Officers, Trustees and Members are happy to stay on the Committee.

Last year, it was decided to invite Robert Barker and Suzanne Toynton to join the Committee as Committee Members with the view of them becoming Trustees at a later stage. Both were happy to become Trustees, so a resolution was made at the AGM for Robert & Suzanne to be officially appointed as Trustees and a vote in favour taken.

This will bring the number of Trustees to the maximum level.

The present Committee is as follows: -

Officers & Trustees               

Chairman                                 Ann Walker

Secretary                                 Pam Edmonds

Treasurer                                 Clyde Young

Officers &Trustees 

Anita Gunn, Lizzie Hutcheson, Maria Hadlow, Irene Osprey, Robert Barker, Suzanne Toynton.

 Angie Trew Award 

 

Each year, at the AGM, two awards are made. The first is to the Most Deserving Actor and the second to the person who has given the Greatest Input to the Society in that year. Each winner receives a certificate and a voucher for £50.

These awards go back to 2010 after the death of Angie Trew. Her mother donated some money to us to fund these two awards every year and was most insistent that the “actor” award should not be for the “best actor” but that it could be won by any actor no matter how large or small a part he or she had – hence the strange title!

This money is held in a separate dedicated bank account.

At the AGM 2025, the award for the Most Deserving Actor was presented to Kim Twinn for her excellent roles in 'The Late Mrs. Early' and 'Plaza Suite' and the award to the person who gave the Greatest Input was presented to Jonathan Austin for his continued work on Sound and Set Construction .
