“The Gala Night for this production is in aid of the Surrey Association for Visual Impairment (SAVI). SAVI is well known to regular theatregoers having enjoyed several gala nights in the past. It is a Surreywide charity for blind, and partially sighted adults and children and is located in Fetcham. It started life as the Surrey Voluntary Association for the Blind in 1922 and, since then has transformed itself into a vibrant social enterprise provding many charity and contract services such as rehabilitation and work for deafblind, and a high quality resource and low vision centres, It employs almost 80 staff, full and part time, and is enormously proud of the services that its 300 volunteers carry out. This gala night coincides with SAVI’s recent incorporation. If you want to know more about the charity, contact us on 01372 377701.The website is www.surreywebsight.org.uk”.

Another item for your Diary. Artistic Director, John Norris, has organised a varied programme for the evening, centred on a new production of ‘Sea Food Lasagne’ by Lawrence Armitage and Vicki Jameson, in preparation for the Sir Michael Caine Drama Festival at the Leatherhead Theatre on 12th May. Come and support our younger members, even if you saw the play last September.

And, in addition, an array of talent will be on display. with a series of varied and fast-moving items provided by members of all ages to complete the evening’s enjoyment.

Don’t forget the Tuesday evening open evenings in the bar. Due to the hard work and enthusiasm of Helen Longes and the team, attendance is steadily rising. Now they plan a series of specialist themes for each night. Do turn up and support these efforts. The themes for the next few weeks are:
