CHAIRMAN'S CHAT
It is with great sorrow that we are all lessened by the death of Colin Miller. A great talent and a great friend - he will be much missed and our love goes out to Sue and her family. Cudos did well to sing with such gusto through their tears at the funeral. God bless you Colin.
On a personal note may I thank everyone who was connected with Bazaar and Rummage - it was a great play and the cast were stupendous. Many thanks to all the usual team and also to Lucy who put in so much enthusiasm. Congratulations to all who received a nomination at the Cinderella Cup Awards. I am delighted at the enthusiasm in the Society for 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ - see you at the auditions. Polly x

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of one of our members, Colin Miller. Colin joined the family only a few years ago and soon became an invaluable member with his tremendous drumming skills and always a great help at set builds. We showed him our appreciation when we voted for him to receive the Neill McClintock trophy for outstanding contribution over the year. Colin will be greatly missed and we send all our love and thoughts to his wife Sue and the rest of his family.xxx
