To receive the report of the Commercial Director, Alexandra Palace Trading Limited (APTL) advising the Committees on forthcoming events to the end of the financial year.

.

RECEIVED the Forthcoming Events report, as set out in the agenda papers and introduced by Duncan Wilson – Chief Executive, Alexandra Palace.

NOTED

·        There were a number of highlights for the last quarter – Torch Relay, Holland Heineken House and Sacrilege.

·        There was a full programme planned for the forthcoming months.

·        The Olympics had seen a number of event spaces created elsewhere in London, and the market was dynamic, which in turn would create more competition for the Palace in the future.

·        The ‘London Open House’ in September proved popular, with 800 visitors to the Transmitter Hall, BBC Studio A and Theatre.  Feedback was positive.  Duncan Wilson thanked John Thompson and the Friends of the Theatre for facilitating the tours.

RESOLVED to note the report.
