It's been a busy few weeks - Part Two

On a sad note the Society lost one of its older members. 

Gil Greenslade died on Wednesday 13th October 2010 aged 78 years.

Gil was a member of the Senior Chorus amongst other things for many years and a few months ago at the Society's Annual General Meeting he was awarded his 20 year NODA Award for Services to Amateur Theatre.

Rest In Peace Gil.  You will be missed by all who knew you.

It's been a busy few weeks - Part One

Apologies for not posting for a while, but it's been a busy few weeks.

Firstly members of the Society were busy fund raising during Bridgwater Fair.  For four days the Society's Hot Dog van was staffed by volunteers from the Society.  Despite the horrible weather on and off over the course of the Fair we were very busy.

Thanks to everyone who supported us and bought food from us during Fair.
