NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2012

A Happy New Year to you and your families.

“MY FAIR LADY”

The show was the most successful production we have staged for a number of years. Ticket sales were up considerably on previous years shows. Our audiences thoroughly enjoyed it. We are still getting positive feed back. There have been no negative comments. Many congratulations to our wonderful production team, everyone in the cast and all concerned with staging it.

CHRISTMAS PARTY

On 14th December 2011 we held our 3rd Christmas Party. It was a lovely evening with a quiz, solo singers and then all joining in a sing-song of Christmas songs. Thanks to Roger Browne for obtaining artistes, Carol Ackers for organising the food, Marjorie Dunn for accompanying the singing & to all who attended.
