Enclosed with this newsletter is the booking form for the first play, Double Cut.  Please mark on it the number of tickets you need, both for your first and second choice of night, and send it to Vicki Lane with your vouchers and/or payment.  Please make sure you also send a stamped self-addressed envelope as well, so she can return your tickets to you, otherwise you'll have to collect them on the night, which can cause delays.

On the actual night of the play, please try to make sure that you arrive by 7.20pm.   This play is in two acts, which means that raffle tickets will be sold with the programmes before the start of the play.  Also for sale are sweets and chocolate (but try not to crackle them noisily in a quiet scene!).  If you want a drink during the interval, then either order a cold drink from the bar, or buy a coffee token from one of the stewards when you get your raffle ticket and programme.  Coffee is served black with cream in the bar or milky (ready-mixed) in the auditorium - please specify where you want your coffee.

It sounds complicated, I know but it's really quite simple.  If you get confused just ask one of the stewards, and they'll be delighted to explain!

The outcome?  They did it!  Or at least, Rentokil were hired to deal with the dry rot, which they did in an amazing two days (mind you, Steve Smith and the rest of the stage crew had done an awful lot of dirty, smelly work shifting everything out of the affected area, and doing all the pre-treatment work, which not only saved time, but also saved money).  The boilers have gone, and a new boiler has been  installed by our regular saviour  Mr "Fix-It" Higson, who knows our plumbing and heating system inside out (rather him than me!). 

The committee sighed a collective sigh of relief - disaster had been postponed - at least until the
