You don't need to wait for us to organise a Bar Evening, just head along at your leisure.
- Christmas Dinner - Friday 13th December 2019 - For this years Christmas dinner we have booked Chartridge Lodge. This wonderful black tie event will be in a private room, with a three course meal followed by dancing the night away. Thanks to all of you who've said you're coming (good turnout!) and please watch out for menu choices. If you have any music choices, be they festive favourites or just something you'll strut your stuff to, please let Julie know so we can create a playlist
- Directors Workshop - Sunday 9th February 2020 - Ros, Richard, Jan G and Lesley are very kindly hosting a Directors Workshop for us in February. This is your chance to find out what it takes to be a director, and discover the help you'll get if you choose to give it a go. See the entry below for the kind of things you'll be learning. It's a free event which promises to be a lot of fun, led by some of our best regular directors. If you can make it, please let Anne know.

Directors Wanted!
Although we are delighted to have found a director for our November 2019 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? 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!

- Treasure Trail - Sunday 15th September 2019 - Last year's winners, Ian and Rachael, organised our 2019 Treasure Trail in Chesham Bois, followed by a slap-up Sunday lunch at The Ivy House.
