Social Evenings - Tuesdays 8pm
Don’t forget the Tuesday evening open evenings in the bar. Due to the hard work and enthusiasm of Helen Longes and the team, much more is happening. The first of the specialised nights was a Shakespeare Evening on the 22nd April, with contributions from many and covering readings (sometimes from memory) of some sonnets, Helen’s quiz, which revealed our lack of knowledge of the greatest writer (even expert Andrew Hamel-Cooke was beaten by some of the questions), a news broadcast by the bard and Alan Wiseman’s attempt to speak the whole of Shakespeare’s longest speech in under two minutes (he failed). The themes for the next two weeks are:
20th May: Games Night
Cards, Dominoes, Jenga, Cranium and Dictionary
27th May: Play Reading
The first of a series for directors and budding authors.
Do come along! |

It is a recent tradition that 'themed' beers are available in the bar during certain shows. Audiences of Viva la Costa have been treated to even more choices with not only the Spanish beer St Miguel but also (by special request) Spanish wines -- Vin Sol and Rioja. Ideas for future 'specials' will be welcomed! |

Mhora Samuel, who is the Director of The Theatres Trust, was our guest speaker in April. She began her talk with a tribute to Ken Woodward. Ken had been involved with the Trust since 1989. Almost up until his death in October he had been one of the Trust’s most active volunteer rapporteurs, visiting theatres and reporting back on developments. The tribute which appeared in the winter issue of the Theatres Trust Magazine is too long to report here but it ended with these words “The Theatres Trust would not have survived its early years without the help of people like Ken” and “Ken will be sadly missed. Theatre people everywhere, and the Trust in particular, owe him a great debt of gratitude.” Mhora told us that much of her focus in the last eight months has been creating greater awareness of the Trust’s work across the fields of planning, regenerationand development, theatre architecture, design and heritage. The Theatres Trust champions all theatres, historic, contemporary and new, as important places in our lives.
Our speaker in May will be Roger Broad. His title – ‘Philanthropy is Dead or What’s in it for me?’. What the arts can actually offer to a business sponsor /supporter – and in return what a sponsor can give back to the arts. Rodger has promised to make this subject both interesting and fun – with perhaps some audience participation. Members who are unable to attend the luncheon, please telephone Mary Brooks – 01483-283507 by Sunday, 18th May, 2008.
Due to the fact that our outing to Chichester will be in July this year, we shall be holding a luncheon on Wednesday, 18th June. There has not been time to arrange for a speaker, However, we can look forward to another enjoyable meal from Richard and a little light entertainment provided by members. |
