The operatic society had its AGM yesterday, which is normally something I will use any possible excuse to avoid, but since I have volunteered for the show-reading sub-committee we thought we'd better be supportive and tag along.
And actually it was a very pleasant experience. The reports were positive, the new committee election went smoothly and even a rather controversial amendment to the constitution went without any argument.
And there was a glass of wine at the end.
The society still faces some of the same problems (lack of men, money and orchestra pit) but the atmosphere was so much more upbeat than it was at the EGM we attended last May.
