Directors' report period ended 31 August 2023

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 31 August 2023

Principal activities of the company

The principal activities of the company are to provide cultural tours and lectures, with an Art History and History focus.

Additional information

Work through the Arts Society (formerly NADFAS) continued to pick up over this period, with more in-person lectures being held and very few remaining as Zoom only, representing a return to normal after the pandemic. Income from the Arts Society has slightly increased as a result. ArtyFacts @ Blackheath weekly in-person lectures continued on a Zoom only basis. Some subscribers have expressed ‘Zoom fatigue’ and requested a return to in-person lectures. However, given that in-person lectures would incur further expenses, with venue rental, it is not yet considered to be worthwhile to return to that model. As a result, however, there has been a significant drop in income from this source, as people who were formerly happy to receive lectures via Zoom or recordings are now waiting for in-person ones. Zoom is likely to continue to be the principal mode for the Friday morning lectures, as the client base now includes people beyond the local area, who would be unable to attend Blackheath in-person talks. As a result of the drop in Zoom/recordings numbers, earnings from ArtyFacts @ Blackheath was once again exceeded by the income from the Arts Society, as it was before the pandemic began.
