 Firstly, a reminder to buy tickets for our stunning show Follies. A massive amount of work has gone into this show from every angle, from the techie boys Jerry Anderson, Bruce Smith, Derek Gilbert and their teams producing an amazing set with excellent sound and lighting, through to the wonderful direction from Judy Yeates - who, along with her husband John, is one of our Vice Presidents - the superb musical direction from newcomer Amy Wanless right down to the costumes from Team Angel. I would like to offer my personal thanks to the ladies of Team Angel who slaved away in the committee room - which became more like a costume sweatshop - in the days before the show, making more than twenty costumes and renovating almost as many more! Team Angel (Jenny Haywood, Clancey Smith, Susan Rusman, myself and honorary member Ann Dayton) got our name when planning the costumes for Follies, the original four decided to meet up to discuss the show and have a meal at The Angel on the Bridge. We pitched up at around 7:30pm, to be greeted by a sea (no pun intended) of people eagerly awaiting the arrival of Barnacle Bill who was coming along at 9:00pm to entertain the masses with sea shanties! We had not finished eating/discussing by then, but found it impossible to continue because of all the noise! We ended up joining in with gusto, adding harmonies and suitable comments much to the delight of the assembled company and to the landlord who sent us all over a drink to say thank you for making the evening such a success! Thus was born Team Angel!
We also have the Fun Run on Monday 2nd May to look forward to. This is our major fund raiser for the year and is always great fun - as its title suggests! We want to encourage fancy dress and families too - so please spread the word! If you would like to take part or help in any way please see the website for more information or contact David Holmes. All runners get medals and there is a prize for the silliest costume.
Best wishes
