Directors Wanted!
Although we are delighted to have found a director for our May 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!

Recent Fun!
- Bar Night - Friday 26th October 2018 - Great to see a good turnout for some drinks and a good catch-up in the Barn Hall Bar. Don't forget, if you're an APTG Member, you're entitled to use the bar whenever you want!
- Quiz Night - Monday 15th October 2018 - Congratulations to our 2 teams who picked up a Silver and Bronze medal in the Metro Lounge quiz. Thank you to Rachel for organising a great event.
- Treasure Trail - Sunday 9th September 2018 - A great turnout again this year for our annual Treasure Trail, this time organised by Dennis and taking place in Chesham. The lucky winners were team "Reed It And Weep", as announced at the pub afterwards, and tears of joy (probably) were seen flowing as the victorious captain realised he had the honour of arranging next year's event. Many thanks to Dennis for a super day out!
- Summer Walk - Sunday 15th July 2018 - Many thanks to Rachel and Steve for organising another lovely walk around Penn Street, ending with a pub lunch at The Hit & Miss. All who attended had a great time!
- Play Readings - Many thanks to Rachel for recently hosting a reading of her play "A Question Of Compromise", and to Jan G for a night of dodgy scouse accents while reading Willy Russell's "Stags & Hens". These are always highly entertaining events - if you have a play you'd like to hear read, whether it's for fun or because you're considering directing it, just let the committee know and we'll help you host your event.
- Summer BBQ - Sunday 5th August 2018 - Always a very popular annual event for the group, this year's BBQ was kindly hosted by John and Denise at their new home in Hyde Heath. Scorching weather and a great turnout led to a fantastic afternoon for all. Thank you Denise and John!
Future Social Events
- Christmas Party - Friday 14th December 2018 - Plans are now finalised for our Christmas bash at Harewood Downs Golf Course. DJ Dennis is oiling his decks as we speak, ready to spin us a festive selection of tracks, but it's not too late to pass on any requests! For those who are coming, it promises to be a great night again. Looking forward to seeing you there!
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.
