AGM summary - a good season reviewed

The Society's AGM took place last night at the Black Lion Hotel in Richmond.

Chairman Nick Reckert presented the Annual Report. Two Trustees had retired, and one new Trustee had been co-opted. Membership numbers were somewhat down, but revenue was up as a result of a strong increase in single-ticket sales.

Concert Secretary Anna Jackson reported on six well-received concerts, and our largest total  audience number on record. She was particularly pleased with audiences' reactions to new and recent works.

Treasurer Philip Wicks presented Income and Expenditure reports which showed a small deficit; however, this was entirely covered by delays in Gift-Aid recovery and some sponsorship receipts. The Society's reserves and operating capital remain healthy.

All Officers and Trustees were re-appointed or confirmed in post, and a lightly revised Constitution was approved by the meeting.

The next AGM will be on Wednesday 13 June 2018, at 19:30; location to be confirmed.
