December was a predictably busy time for the Regal Trust and the volunteers.
A second brochure was printed and distributed giving details of shows until the end of March. This was widely supported by local businesses through advertising.Additional funds were also raised through the highly successful dedicate a seat campaign, which has allowed the continuing capital expenditure program to buy additional equipment.
More than 2,500 people enjoyed shows during the month.
There were a total of 6 full houses, across three genres. Film, Ballet & Live Music.In addition the the “public” shows there were performances and screening by local schools which were well attended by parents and supporters, and special film screenings for Tenbury High School, and a number of Christmas parties were also hosted.
In addition to the 60 active volunteers, the Trust have appointed 3 part-time cleaners, a part-time book keeper and a part-time general manager. They are also in the process of formalising their operational management structure and appointing additional trustees.
The Trust is just putting the finishing touches to the schedule for April to June which will once again have a wide cross section of films and events including, Opera with Plácido Domingo, an audience with Pam Ayres, Classical Music with Fordante, Drama from the Vamos Theatre Company, concerts from the Town Band and hopefully the Teme Valley Band & Little Hereford Choir, Music from Gerry & the Pacemakers, Fairport Convention, the Fortunes, and a Queen tribute band to name but a few. Plus a very special Mayors Charity show.
