Bolsover Drama Group

This summer saw the group enjoy its 20th Annual Dinner and Dance, which took place on Saturday 4th June at the South Chesterfield Golf Club, Grassmoor. The evening, which has been been a part of the group’s calendar since 1996, provides members, their friends and family an enjoyable evening which includes a three-course meal, entertainment and presentation of service awards. This year’s event saw awards presented by group’s Chairman Mick Whitehouse and Vice-Chairman Chris Peck to Derrick Hulett and Ray Hall for 10 years service, Lyndsey Whitehouse and Istvan Koszegi (15 years) and a 20 year service award for Diane Hulett. This year sees the the group celebrates its 35th anniversary, so the service awards for the evening were concluded with a 35 year service award presentation to founder member Rachel Johnson who has been a continual member since the group was founded in 1981.

On Wednesday 29th June Bolsover Drama Group Vice-Chairman Chris Peck was invited to a meeting of the Rotary Club of Bolsover to give a talk about the group, including how the group has flourished since its formation in 1981 to provide opportunities on and off stage for both youth and adult members.  The presentation and the subsequent question and answer section was well received by the members of the Rotary who found the evening very interesting. We would like to thank Geoff Davis for his invitation to attend on behalf of the Rotary Club, and the members of the Rotary Club of Bolsover for their kind hospitality and donation of £50 which will be invested in purchasing sound equipment for use at group rehearsals.

Bolsover Drama Group would like to congratulate our member Tara Madeley on her wedding to David Foster in July.  We wish the new Mr & Mrs Foster the best in their future together.
