Various notices from Barney

The Wind in the Willows

James Burns is still having a reading for this wonderful play which we will be putting on in December. Next reading is Tuesday 12th September at 8.00 pm at Barts.
NB: David Sloan will not be holding a reading for his One-Act play on this date as he has decided not to proceed with the play this year.

Misery

Christine is having a reading for Misery - our festival offering on Thursday 14th September at 8.00 pm. Although this exciting thriller is a two-hander, both parts are very much up for grabs.

Anyone who wishes to be considered for acting roles but is unable to attend these readings should contact either James (9079 8344) or Christine (9070 5121) In addition both of these productions will be very demanding technically and there will be plenty of work for people backstage and offstage. If you feel you can contribute in any way please contact the director(s).

Sailor Beware

The final two performances of this show will be in St. Bride's Hall, Derryvolgie Avenue on 6th and 7th of October. If you know of anyone who has mised the show so far then urge them to go along. Also, I need some volunteers to provide 'front of house' duty including selling programmmes and serving wine and juice at the interval. Ann Sloan has offerred her help but anyone else who could assist her would be a godsend. Please contact me (9066 5643) if you can so help.

Gilbert and Sullivan

Hi everybody

Ken has asked me to pass this information along the line. He discussed it originally at the AGM but is now hopeful that we will support the event. Details are as follows:

'WEST YORKSHIRE SAVOYARDS' who specialise in Gilbert & Sullivan performances will be doing a Condcert Performance of 'TRIAL BY JURY' and a selection of Gilbert & Sullivan Songs from their show, in our own St Barts Canon Lindsay Hall on FRIDAY 7/10/2005 AT 7.30PM - ADMISSION £6. I think it might be possible to pay at the door. I will try to clarify that situation during the next day or so.

This year is the 250th Anniversary of the establishment of the Group and at present they are doing a tour of the UK and coming to Belfast at that time. The singers are all of notable reputation and it promises to be an good nights entertainment and worthy of as much support as we can give.

Cheers
June Silcock

Barts by Royal Appointment

(Clicking on this picture will enlarge it for you as with any of the pictures on this site)

Des Loughridge has sent me this very unusual photograph - accompanied by this much appreciated message. Again I think we all agree that we need more info about the event pictured.

Perhaps Barbera or Gillian could give us all a bit more info??

Cheers Des!!

Mark,

Congratulations on getting such an attractive site up and
running. It looks really great and I hope you get plenty of info for it.

Attached is a photo of Barbara's and Gillian's very successful and quickly put together show last summer before a very special audience at Barnett's Park. Barbera & Gillian wrote, cast, directed and acted in a very enjoyable pageant.

Hope you can get this on the website, and again good luck with it.
Des
