CHAIR’S CHATTER
Hi everyone, it’s hard to believe we are nearly into December, yes we’re now less than a month away from Christmas. Rehearsals have been ongoing for both our Christmas Concert and also our pantomime, oh yes they have! Looking forward to seeing lots of you at both those events, details elsewhere in this newsletter. If you’ve not got your tickets yet, then make sure you give your Christmas a kick start by coming to our concert on 9 th and 10 th December. Take care everyone, continue to stay safe and I hope, free of all the various bugs that are doing the rounds currently. It’s distinctly colder as I write this and we had a good layer of fog this morning, maybe winter has arrived finally?! Look forward to catching up with you at our concert and pantomime. Dendy x

CHAIR’S CHATTER
Hi everyone, I hope you’re all keeping safe and well as we move through autumn towards firstly our Christmas Concert on 9th &10th December; then to our Panto in January. Rehearsals for the concert are underway, do come along to watch there’s going to be plenty of opportunities for everyone to join in. I know all those who auditioned for our pantomime worked hard and gave their Director, Leonie, some difficult decisions. Well done to all who made it in, now the hard work begins for all of you. Sure you all enjoyed our play last month and I know the cast kept you guessing right through to the very end when you finally found out…., it had all been a rehearsal ��� A huge well done and thank you to all involved, whether backstage, on stage or front of house, but especially to Ann. This production had been a long time in the making, thank you one all, it was worth the wait. Looking forward to seeing you at our Christmas Concert. Dendy xx
