The Village Hall

Group Picture Village Hall September 2007

The hallowed institution - The Village hall, scene of unparalleled local country dramas
 This is the setting for three interlinked comedy plays.  We start with the panic of organising the Jumble sale.  Later in the week the local amateur dramatics have their dress rehearsal , and the following week the scout master has the job of organising the scout and guide jamboree. I mean,  what could possibly go wrong with any of these simple tasks ?  Surprisingly enough - everything

A good fun production enjoyed by audience and actors alike.  Here are a few pictures of the action
