News Letter April 2023
CHAIR’S CHATTER
Firstly, I would like to thank you for doing me the honour of electing me as your Chair for a second year. I will continue to work hard for you in the coming year and know you will all make me so proud yet again. I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate all the worthy award winners again: what you have contributed to our society is amazing and that makes us the great group we are: without all of you we wouldn’t be here. Plenty of exciting times ahead as we move towards our workshops and then auditions for our next show, Made in Dagenham. I’m looking forward to watching this show come to fruition with Charmaine, Lucy and Lisa and wish all of you who choose to audition the best of luck. Your new committee are already starting to plan our social events where we can all get together and enjoy gathering without the uncertainty of the last few years through Covid. I would like to wish you all a happy and peaceful Easter and hope the sunny weather will continue into the weekend. Dendyx
