You don't have to come to any rehearsals at the moment. Hurrah!

saturday performance

saturday's performance will be at the mill. hurrah. bring a coat.

Friday's performance at Mill as planned

Friday 22nd weather looks fairly okay, so we're going ahead at the mill.

If it rains at all we may have electricity issues, but these may be surmountable, so bring something waterproof.

Thursday performance at the Courthouse

Thursday's performance is at the Courthouse because of threat of rain.
(even though it's getting sunnier - don't tell us, we know!)

Monday's rehearsal is at...

The Courthouse. Rain forecast.

Alan.

are we outside or inside?

Weather looking dodgy as it does for A Midsummer Night's Dream next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we will post information here by 7.15 on the night about where the play will be performed. If the weather is good, we'll be at the mill every night. If it rains, we can up-sticks and perform at the Courthouse on Thursday or Saturday. If it rains Friday, there'll be no show as we haven't found an alternative indoor venue. So, we'll make the decision by 7.15 on the night as to which venue we'll be at that night. We'll post the decision here, and we'll also leave answerphone messages on 01943 862651 and 07960 777761. Let's hope for glorious sunshine!
