Our former treasurer Chris Booth was recognised for his service to the group by being made an honorary member at the 2012 Annual Dinner and Dance.

Chris was treasurer of the group for over 20 years before stepping down from the post at the 2011 AGM. The presentation was made to recognise his hard work and dedication to the group following his announcement that he would no longer be an active member although he still helps out as one of the Front of House managers for our productions.

A great time is had at our Annual Dinner

Image
Members, family and guests of the group had an enjoyable time as the group held it’s 23rd Annual Dinner at the Angel & Harlequin at Spinkhill on Saturday 1st June 2019. Following a lovely three course meal the evening saw presentations of long service awards to Nicky Constable (10 years), Paul Holland (20 years) and founder member Janet Koszegi (35 years). Janet Koszegi receives her 35 year award Paul Holland receives his 20 year award Nicky Constable receives his 10 year award Phillip receives his “service award”. As way of a joke at Nicky’s expense (he’s been wanting a service award since he first joined the group) a special five year service award was also presented to “Phillip”, who some of you may remember as the masseurs dummy in our 2014 play ‘Who Goes Bare’. We will be looking forward to returning to The Angel & Harlequin on Saturday 13th June 2020 for our 24th Annual Dinner.

Success in the NODA East Midlands Awards

On Sunday 23rd June 2019 we attended the NODA East Midlands regional day at the Concordia Theatre in Hinckley, where we were proud to receive the award for best pantomime in District 2 for our production of ‘Mother Goose’, as well as receive a nomination for our Youth Section production of ‘Oliver!’ in the District 2 youth category. The chance to be nominated for awards such as these is one benefit we gain from being affiliated to NODA, the National Operatic and Dramatic Association, who also offer advice, information and workshops to amateur dramatics groups throughout the country.  It is also a testament to the cast and the production teams that the hard work they put into our productions is being recognised.

Following our 3rd Annual Steve Sowerby Celebratory Showcase Evening, ‘One Night Around the World’, which took place in March 2019 we were proud to announce that we raised a total of £340.31 from the evening for the NGS Macmillan Unit at Chesterfield’s Royal Hospital.  Our chairman, Mick Whitehouse, had the pleasure of presenting the donation during the summer. We are preparing for next year’s showcase evening themed around famous “jukebox” musicals, to be performed on Saturday 28th March 2020, and will be announcing the local good cause we will be working with shortly. A note of thanks from Macmillan
