Regal Trust Report May 2015

Regal Trust Report May 2015

Attendance figures

May 2013 1516 patrons
May 2014 1358 patrons
May 2015 1061 patrons

A disappointing month with audience figures down on previous years.

With the exception of Cinderella the film programme this month failed to excite.  We are of course governed by what is available and there have been complaints across the industry about the large number of very similar 15 rated films which were released in close proximity to each other.  

The national trend is a reduction in audience sizes as we come out of recession and people spend more on large ticket items such as cars and holidays.

Two highlights this month were a ballet from the Royal Opera House and Pirates of Penzance from English National Opera.  The later having broke all worldwide records as the biggest ever “Opera” event ever.

Representatives from the Trust met with the Conservation Officer from MHDC to discuss the proposed improvements to the building. (full details of these will be submitted to the Council later this month)

There have been a number of personnel changes at the Trust recently.

Management Assistant Danni Wiggins has been replaced by Julie Cox.
Play Leader Karen Wallace has been replaced by Leah Williams.

Relief Cleaner Emma Little has been replaced by Danni Fisher.
