Upcoming Social Events
Don't forget, when the current situation subsides, all APTG members are affiliate members of the Amersham Community Centre, which means you can take advantage of the Barn Hall Bar (and its great prices!) any time you like...well, within licensing hours obviously. You don't need to wait for us to organise a Bar Evening, just head along at your leisure.
- Due to the Covid-19 situation affecting gatherings, there are no current plans for social events until further notice.
- However, members should be receiving communications from the Committee describing the ways we'll be trying to keep in touch. If isolation is affecting you, if you need help or support, or if you just want to chat and swap stories with the rest of us, just let us know. We're all in this together!

Directors Wanted!
Although we are delighted to have found a director for our May 2020 production, this shouldn't disguise the fact that there is a shortage of new talent emerging to fill this role in future.
If you have ever harboured thoughts of giving directing a go, why not now? As above, we are running a Directors Workshop on Sunday 9th February, run by some of our most experienced directors, to help you discover what it takes to bring a play to the stage, and what help is available from your Committee.
The Committee is always there to help you, and can offer as much support as you need or want, including:
As a director you'd have a dedicated Committee Liaison, there to help advise you every step of the way. Don't forget, we also have several experienced directors in our membership who would be delighted to offer their advice and support.
Go on, give it a go!
