  • Marketing Plan Template
    Sutton Coldfield Arts and Recreation Trust – Business Plan notes – MARKETING The marketing plan is aimed at achieving income by the sale of tickets and the hiring of rooms. Main income streams Tickets 1. The sale of tickets to the general public for theatre shows 2. The sale of tickets to the general public for non-theatrical events Room hire 3. The hiring of the theatre for use by professional acts 4. The hiring of the theatre for use by amateur dramatic and orchestral societies, schools/clubs. 5. The hiring of the rooms by the public for weddings and civil ceremonies 6. The hiring of the rooms for non-theatrical public events (e.g. trade fairs) 7. The hiring of the rooms by companies and public for private events (e.g. company presentations, charity balls, parties). THEATRICAL Theatre (Vesey Suite) The Town Hall theatre is currently a receiving house, a theatre that produces no original work of its own and instead, hosts or ‘tours in’ other people’s productions, usually those of commercial production companies and amateur dramatics/music societies. The unique selling point is that Town Hall has no commercial theatre competitor in close proximity, is central to the town and to public transport and can provide a fully functioning 427 seat professionally working theatre for the local community. The competing theatres are listed below. From community research is it quite clear that the people of Sutton Coldfield would prefer to see theatre shows locally rather than travel to Birmingham City Centre or Staffordshire. This is especially the case for older residents and young families with children.

  • Economic Impact Study of West Midlands Theatre
    Economic impact study of West Midlands theatre Dominic Shellard, University of Sheffield April 2005 Contents Acknowledgements 2 Introduction 3 Executive summary 4 Key findings 7 1 Research for the West Midlands study 7 2 Methodology 9 3 Results of the West Midlands study 10 4 Calculation of economic impact 12 5 Number of volunteers in the West Midlands theatre sector 14 6 Recommendations for future work 16 Appendix A West Midlands economic impact study responses 17 Appendix B Calculation of economic impact of West Midlands venues not included in the Economic Impact Study of UK Theatre 18 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the following people for their help and support in the undertaking of this study. Derrick Elliss FCA: the project accountant, and my collaborator The University of Sheffield Julie Eaglen, Arts Council England West Midlands Dominic Shellard 2 Introduction Theatre in the United Kingdom is admired throughout the world for its quality and creativity. The excellence of its plays, actors and performances are unrivalled. This study of West Midlands theatre builds on the work of the Economic Impact Study of UK Theatre (Arts Council, 2004), which was the first national study of the contribution that theatre makes to the local and national economy. It established that the economic impact of UK theatre was £2.6bn: £1.5bn coming from London theatre and £1.1bn from regional theatre. The impact of regional theatre had previously been undervalued and this new study – of the economic impact of West Midlands theatre – further highlights the fact that regional theatre is economically as well as artistically vibrant.

  • BOA Alumni Christmas Newsletter
    BOA Alumni Christmas Newsletter Principal’s Message: “Wishing you and your friends and families a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2019. Please keep in touch and spread the word about BOA! “ - John Reilly, Principal BOA held its third ‘Alumni Morning’ on the 21st of September, which was a huge success. The aim was to provide advice and guidance to our current Year 13 students. There were 6 of our alumni from across a range of pathways that were invited back for a question and answer session. The questions asked were focused mainly on progression routes and what our current stu- dents can expect when they are ready to leave. It was a great way for our alumni to talk about their own personal experiences and progression since parting from BOA. We feel as though this two hour session will benefit our current students when applying for their chosen progression routes, at the end of the school year. Following the event and its positive outcomes, we received some valuable feedback from the current students, that this session was extremely helpful and something that enlightened our cur- rent students. Our alumni morning will definitely be something we continue to do, as we love to keep in contact with our alumni and find it’s important for them to still be involved also. “Birmingham Ormiston Academy is like a big family, it’s a place we know we can come back to for help” Birmingham Ormiston Academy Christmas Term 2018 PAGE 2 "Make the most of your time at BOA, and take on every opportunity that you have offered to you” “Don’t be afraid to ask for support.

  • Appendix 13 Sarehole Residents' Association Response to The
    Appendix 13 Sarehole Residents’ Association Response to The Boundary Commission Proposals from the Residents of Green Road, Keel Drive, Burke Avenue, Moseley, Birmingham B13 Our part of Moseley is not Sparkhill South. In terms of its environment, social and historical links it is Moseley: shops, churches; local businesses, schools; and all the Moseley organisations that make up the community. We have no connection to a proposed Sparkhill South Ward. We are a small enclave: a corner of Moseley, one mile from Moseley Village centre itself. We are bounded on one side by the River Cole, with variable access via a ford to the Hall Green area; on the other side direct access by road to Moseley: its centre; its surgeries; cafes; pubs; festivals and Farmers’ Market. Moseley is where we belong; and we are part of its vibrant community-driven culture. As you will know, Moseley, last year, was voted the best urban living environment in the UK by a panel of Sunday Times judges; and featured widely in newspaper articles. The ward boundary structure facilitated a cohesive approach to effective local government within the community. In our recent door-to-door survey we contacted 35 of the 42 houses in Green Road, Keel Drive and Burke Avenue. The proposal to include our part of Moseley in Sparkhill South Ward was rejected unanimously. There are no working links, common issues or affinity with Sparkhill South. One Sparkhill South councillor, dealing with a heavy workload of different needs to ours, could well cause our part of Moseley to be severely marginalised.
