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
