Hello all,
Following a recent meeting of the Committee, I am
now contacting you with an up-date on the current
position of the Society.
You will be aware that our financial position has
been difficult for the last three to four years.
‘Jekyll & Hyde’ was highly acclaimed and is a show
we can be proud of; but, unfortunately, the losses
incurred were not sufficiently recovered during ‘My
Fair Lady’ and ‘Annie Get Your Gun’.
We had hoped that the popularity of ‘Fiddler’, on
the basis of the performance of that show ten years
ago, would restore our financial position, but
whilst again it was a critical success, the
unfortunate economic climate affected ticket sales
and made the Society a loss of £7,000.
The Society is unable, therefore, to take on the
risk of a two-week show at this time and it is with
regret that I have to inform you that CAODS will not
have a performance in 2010.
On a brighter note, we wish to build on the
success of our ‘Walk Through the West End’ show,
which, as you are aware, is profit-making and this
will, of course, be showing at the Drill Hall in
June.
Please be assured that the Committee will be
looking at a Business Plan which will, hopefully,
put us in the position of enjoying our major annual
productions, as soon as possible.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but please do
not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries
or suggestions. (All those not on e-mail will, of
course, be contacted by letter).
By the way, we are also in the process of
finalising arrangements for an AGM, once a date has
been set I will contact you again with details.
Best wishes.
Kate Fenn
