We would be glad of everyone's support, come along and bring your friends.
Due to the fact that Norman Turkington broke his arm early January we are pleased to welcome Con McAllister to the group to play the part of St Leger Alcock. Con is a very experienced actor, a member of CB Players and a guest member of Theatre Three.
We are rehearsing in the hall on Tues and Thurs nights and would be glad of visitors.
