Sweet taste of success at the Bolsover Gala

On Sunday 24th June the group held a stall at the Bolsover Gala on Hornscroft Park to promote the group’s forthcoming productions and raise funds for the group by holding a sweet tombola, which was well received.

Many thanks to Wendy Blunt, Rachel Johnson, Chris Peck and Mick Whitehouse who helped to run the stall on the day

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.

The technical crew is an integral part of any production, but there cannot be many amateur dramatics groups who are able to call upon such a reliable and experienced person as Phil, who manages to fit Bolsover Drama Group’s productions in alongside playing in a local band and his day job! Over the past few years Phil has also become involved in helping the group to transfer skills and knowledge to its younger members.  Kirsty, who works alongside Phil as Sound Director, became involved wi...

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.
