80th Anniversary Celebrations
The Society was founded in 1945 (probably in the September) with the first Show being produced on January 2nd 1946. This was H.M.S. Pinafore and it ran for four nights but we have no further information as to the success of that first Show. (Was it in place of a pantomime?)
We are hoping to have a series of events to mark the occasion: an Afternoon Tea Party, a ceilidh, a celebration meal and perhaps some memorabilia are some of the suggestions.
