Issue - meetings

Members heard from the Commercial, Cultural and Leisure Development Manager regarding the performance of the Trinity Arts Centre and seeking to approve the new Business Plan. Members were happy to receive the positive report, noting there had been a significant turnaround in the success of the Centre. Members offered their praise for the programme of events offered, as well as the involvement with the local communities, and the outreach initiatives. There were many examples given regarding personal experiences of Members attending shows at the Centre as well as praise they had heard from other residents and visitors.

With regard to possible improvements, a Member of the Committee suggested that the marketing plan should be looked at, explaining that whilst there was an element of marketing, the reach could be extended. He cited an example whereby there was a show taking place in a nearby area which was also taking place in Gainsborough. However, the other venue achieved greater marketing reach and therefore people booked tickets for the other venue, out of the district, not knowing it was also taking place in Gainsborough. Officers recognised this and assured the Committee there was work ongoing in relation to the marketing plan.

With widespread Member support, and having been proposed, seconded, and voted upon, it was unanimously

RESOLVED that the 2024 – 2027 Trinity Arts Centre Business Plan be approved.
