5. Cowboy Panto

· Panto was very successful. Thanks to all committee members for all their hard work.

· Doing it in hall was very successful.

· Action: Frank to pass on thanks to hall for their support.

· Suggestion that A1 poster should be framed and put up in hall to commemorate first panto in hall for 50 years. Action: Frank /Lesley to take this to next hall committee meeting.

· Discussion about whether another performance should have been put on as we sold out. General feeling was that 4 performances were enough for cast and crew and although there were some people who could not get tickets this wasn’t enough people to fill another performance.

· Date for DVD showing agreed – Friday 3 April. Linda Evans invited to present Tony award. Action: Carol to put on FB and make sure those not on FB get date.

6. Financial update

· Financial update shared. Current bank balance - £2 610.60

· Discussion about purchasing storage case (£60) and tired seating (£846 or £618).

· Other areas for expenditure were highlighted that would cut down future hiring form Antony – black material for curtains, light and sound equipment, stage carpets, rigging, side steps, stage rigging. These were seen as greater priorities than tiered seating.

· Action: It was agreed to purchase flight bag but not tiered seating.

· Action: All committee members asked to bring priority list to next meeting.

· GLAD will be Albaston Fete beneficiary this year.

7. Future Plans 2020

· GLAD ‘performance’ planned for 9 Aug on Fosters Field as part of Bridge 500 celebrations. 4 ‘sketches, each 3 or 4 minutes performed as ‘rolling street theatre’. Action: Frank to send out script. Authentic costumes seen as key. Consensus to include children in some way.
