Hello everyone! After a quiet start to the year, we hope to pick up and continue doing what we love this year. Next up is our AGM, which will be held on Tuesday 24th May at 8pm in the Village Hall. The group is most definitely at an important crossroads and we desperately need new members to continue putting on shows. If you would like to join our friendly group, whether on stage or behind the scenes, or if you’d just like to come and see what we’re all about - the AGM is the perfect opportunity to do that. We are a relaxed, friendly group with the emphasis on having fun and a good laugh. We don’t do auditions or any of that scary stuff, so if you’re new…

…and that’s a wrap! Thank you so much to everyone who came to watch our show. We were so pleased to be back in front of an audience and loved hearing your laughter over the 3 nights. This week has made it feel like life is somewhat back to ‘normal’. Hopefully see you all again in the Spring. Tim - Director
