Wow!!!

MEMBERSHIP
So yeah, I heard the distressing news that there are still a few memberships due to come in......*SIGH*!!!!!!!! How many times does newsletter have to remind you guys about membership payment??? Pay it, pay it, pay it, pay it, pay it, pay it, pay it, pay it, pay it, pay it, PAY IT!!! Once it’s paid it’s paid because i’m getting tired of putting this in the darned newsletter!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to those who have paid it.

Summer Show Stuff
Everything is still going well. We’re nearly through all the numbers so the month of June will be mostly polish and tying up loose ends. We literally have no time left before this show!!....you know what I mean. It will feel like there’s no time left!! So lets get those remaining songs learnt, dialogue perfected and dances tip top! (I’m mainly telling myself this. If I write it down I might listen to myself). Don’t forget to keep thinking about props! Check the list.

Summer Social???????
The Orchard Players has a bit of a reputation for being social. The group is renowned for frequenting a Summer event where we all gather together, preferably on a sunny day, and have a lovely time chatting, eating and drinking. These events are usually in the form of a bbq but we’re happy to entertain other options.
The only issue is we need a venue!!! Is there ANYONE out there who would be happy to host a Summer social event at their abode??? Please get in contact with committee if you think you can help and a date can be arranged to your convenience!!!!
Panto 2018
What??? Have we just travelled back in time??? NO!!!! We are pleased to announce that our 2018 Pantomime Aladdin came in joint 2nd place for the NODA Best Pantomime Award for our region!! Great result and a massive congratulations to Rob and his team for this achievement!!!
Summer Show 2020
Don’t get too excited, I have no information regarding this show yet, however, I will tell you this!!...............If you want to direct something or have an idea for a show that you want to direct then now’s the time to get that butt in gear because we’re being SUPER organised and the proverbial feelers are well and truly being waved around regarding this one!!!! Have a think!!!
All for now I THINK!!!! By George, I don’t think there are any other documents to go with this newsletter!!!! No new NEW constitutions here!!!
If i’ve forgotten something then please ask someone else.
