their usual Wednesday afternoon (at 1.50 for 2pm)

"optional extra" Thursday evening walks from the

Our last production back in the middle
of May, Funny Money written by Ray
Cooney, proved to be a great success
with our audiences - three full houses and, if laugh-
ter was the measure of that success, then I'd say we
achieved our ambition!
We have had some great feedback from audience
members old and new and it was indeed very heart-
ening to have several new comers who are wanting
to know what we are going to do next.
I would like to know the answer to that question too,
so I am currently reading several scripts with the
Autumn Production in mind. Funny Money happily
saw the arrival of new members to the group but we
never have enough people to do all the different as-
pects of a production (set building; sound; lighting;
publicity; back stage; front of house; costume; make
-up; musicians and yes actors! ) if you would like to
join us you would be given a very warm welcome.
The dates for our Autumn Production are November
12th, 13th & 14th, rehearsals are on Tuesday and
Sunday evenings, beginning in September.
If you would like to know more, please email me.
