Our Chosen Charity for 2018
Each year APTG nominates a charity to support. This year we are supporting Child Bereavement UK, a Buckinghamshire-based charity that supports families and educates professionals when a child dies or is dying and when a child is facing bereavement.
Their aim is to ensure that every child, young person, parent and family member across the UK can access the support they need to rebuild their lives after the devastation of child bereavement. With your help, we can be there to guide families through the long and difficult journey of grief, for as long as they need it.

Future Events
- Bluebell Walk - Sunday 22nd April 2018 - This is kindly being organised by Rachel and Steve. There is a slight change to arrangements ** in that the event will kick off with a pub lunch at The Hit & Miss pub in Penn Street followed by the walk in the afternoon. Anyone is welcome to attend either the pub or the walk – or of course both! Please let Rachel know asap by email so she can book.
**We have changed the time as there will be an extra set build for The Memory of Water on Sunday 22nd April, so we don’t want to impact those helping with the build. - Summer BBQ - Sunday 5th August 2018 - Always a very popular annual event for the group, this year kindly being hosted by John and Denise at their new home in Hyde Heath. Please put the date in your diaries and let our hosts know if you are coming. All members, families, and children are welcome.
- National Theatre Tour - We are planning a trip to The National Theatre to take part in a tour of the Costume and wig department. Please let Janice G know if you would like to attend as numbers will influence the dates available to us.
- Family Walk and Play - Sunday 10th June 2018 - We are conscious that the two earlier walks have been less suitable for our younger members, so this is for all the family. This will be at the Aquadrome in Rickmansworth where there will be a lakeside walk (by it, not in it) and there is a playground for the children and café for tea and cake at the end. Please let Richard know.
- Treasure Trail - Sunday 9th September 2018 - As a result of his victory last year, Dennis will be organising this year’s event. More details to follow but please put it in your diaries and let Dennis know – friends and family welcome.
Annual General Meeting - 18th July 2018
Please keep this important date in your diaries free. We will be needing new members for the committee this year as many of the existing faces are standing down. Ros, Anne, Richard and Janice are all coming to the end of their terms or stepping down, so new faces are needed to keep the group running. We were already one short this year, so we will need five new people please, including a Chairman, Secretary and Social Organiser.

Sarratt Walk
Many thanks to Richard for kindly organising a circular walk around Sarratt on February 25th. This was very well attended and lots of fun was had by all, especially our extensive canine associate membership. Great timing to avoid the Beast from the East!

Play Readings
During 2018 we will be reintroducing regular Play Readings. For those that don't know, this is where a member hosts an evening to read a play. This could be either a play that a member has an interest in, perhaps with a view to Playgoers producing in the future, or just a good read. Please let Richard or Janice Gray know if you would be happy to host a play reading, or if you have a play to suggest for someone else to host.

Christmas Party
December's bash was held at Harewood Downs Golf Club, Amersham fulfilled its promise of being a great ‘black tie’ evening with music and dancing. We enjoyed a full 3 course dinner and a disco, courtesy of our very own Mr Ames (aka DJ Dennis). Despite the ice and snow, the turnout was great as we celebrated another fantastic year for Playgoers! In advance news, Harewood Downs is booked again for Christmas 2018 - block out Friday 14th December in your diaries now. |
