Networking is always is a priority and our meetings and forums continued to be well-attended. I’m delighted to report that attendance at our refreshed traning programme was up by over 40% this year. We’ve also been working hard to represent the industry’s views at local, regional, national and international level. FST members played a major role in informing the development of Creative Scotland’s Touring Fund, and endorsed a new Code of Conduct for Touring Theatre & Dance in Scotland. Our new Go, See, Network, Share Fund helps our members to make and maintain the international connections and networks that will be ever more vital in the days and months ahead. Our Chair Alex McGowan came to the end of his second term of office at the end of September 2018; I’m particularly grateful for his support during my first year in post. We revised our Memorandum and Articles so that we could appoint new co-Chairs, Liam Sinclair and Belinda McElhinney, demonstrating our commitment to finding more flexible ways of working. Alasdair McCrone also stepped down at the end of his term, and we welcomed Louise Gilmour-Wills and Rhona Matheson to the Board. And just after the end of the year, our events and membership assistant Anna Broomfield moved on to a new role, taking with her our thanks and our very best wishes. We’re very lucky at FST to have such supportive and generous members. The team and I benefit enormously from their energy and enthusiasm, and we’re looking forward to the coming year as we continue to support the sector to flourish in times of change.

Since our last report in 2000 the RAE results have been published and our achievements reflect an increase in both the quality of our research outputs and also the diversity and range of research undertaken. In RAE 2001 we returned 43% of all our staff as research active which was amongst the highest in the new university sector across the UK. We were also pleased that four of our Research Areas submitted (Speech and Language Sciences, Social Sciences in Health, Physical Therapy and Drama) achieved an improved grade from the last RAE resulting in an overall 27% increase in income compared with our previous allocation. We are increasingly developing our strategies for the commercialisation of research and this is reflected in a significant increase in our CPD activities, the growth of our TCS programmes and successful spin out companies. Research and commercial activities cover a wide variety from highly focused consultancy for external organisations, including leading UK corporate businesses, the NHS, charities and government departments, to definitive academic studies which have won staff international reputations through their publications and presentations at conferences in the UK and abroad.

Sticky carpet. Check. Calls of two little ducks 22. Check. Puns about balls falling. Check. That was until we went and started to research what the Bingo was really like (as opposed to our ideas of what we thought it was). It’s fast, furious, stressful and it’s a bloody good night out. It made us think, wouldn’t it be good to try and write a show that shared those same characteristics.
