Crew


It may be a new website but the same old plea goes out for folk willing to give up their time and painting skills to come down for the work nights. We always need bodies and as the saying goes: Too many hands make light broth! And I think that's something we can all agree with. So, if you're up for a challenge come on down most Wednesdays night and we'll find you something to do. Even if you've been before give us another go!

Expenses


Request goes out from the treasurer that all expense receipts come with expenses claims forms! And here, before you even think about, all expense claims will be leaked to the Daily Telegraph. This means claims for your poodle's haircut or to keep your au pairs' yacht in Twechar Marine can no longer go through club expenses! I'm looking at you Mr Vice President!

Festival Entries


As usual we have entered and Adult and youth play in SCDA Festival Glasgow Division. This takes place in Denny Theatre Dumbarton on 6th, 7th and 8th March. Our Adult play "Teechers" by John Godber is drawn on the Thursday night at 7pm and our youth play "Mmmbeth" by Alison Williams is drawn on the Friday. As these plays require a lot of audience participation to make them swing we would love to have a lot of support in the theatre on both nights. Tickets will be available on the night we really do need your support it's not that far to Dumbarton!

" Tell me Why"


Having gone through at Dunbarton on the 10th and had a great ajudication there it was with great spirit that the team headed to a very cold wet and windy Irvine on Saturday. Unfortunatly they did not win but they did us proud and the audience seemed to love it festivals and ajudicators in particular are very strange things you can never tell what will happen. We would like to wish Kircudbright Academy all the best for the Scottish Finals as they seemed a lovely bunch of young adults.
