Come for coffee... and a walk!

Coffee anyone? Come along for coffee and a chat this Saturday 3rd November at Carillon Cottage, between 10.30 and 12 noon.
Then join us for a lovely autumnal walk around Tidebrook on Sunday 4th November, led by John Whitehead. Meet at 10.30am by the telephone box, just past Tidebrook Church to explore this beautiful valley. Walk will be a couple of hours. All welcome - including dogs and children. We'll probably have a pint afterwards at the Best Beech.

In all Earnest....

...it was brilliant!
Congratulations to the cast and to Grainne on her directorial debut for a sparkling Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. It was excellent entertainment and much complimented by so many of the audience.
A big thanks too for all who contributed in so many ways - backstage with props, set, stage management, hair, make-up and costumes; on the lighting platform with sound and lights; and front of house with bar, tickets, programmes, publicity and lovely food.
Thanks most of all to the appreciative audiences - we need you most of all!!!!!
See you in January for the Panto - or come along this Saturday morning for coffee at Carillon Cottage and get involved.

Being Earnest!

All is now taking shape down at the Hall - tables set, ingredients for sandwiches and cakes listed to be bought, set up and props assembled, lights and sound organised, costumes completed - and lines fully learnt of course! Now all we need is an audience to come and have a wonderful evening or afternoon out and laugh their socks off at the wonderful Wilde classic wit. Forget the miserable weather and the dark nights and come and enjoy this marvellous comedy. Tickets are £8 each from Southern Cross Travel, The Old Library, High Street, Wadhurst (next to the Commem) or from the Box Office online here. There might be some available on the door - but don't risk it, they are selling well!

We're on the final push now to The Importance of Being Earnest and as you can see here from a still taken at our first costumed rehearsal on Sunday we've cracked the "Earnest" bit!  Actually - it's far from serious and rehearsals are getting more and more fun as time creeps on.
Amazingly - words were learnt months ago so our illustrious director Grainne has been fine tuning her cast.

The backstage crew are a flurry of activity and various bits of furniture, tea sets, cigarette cases, muffins & hats have been purloined, cleaned up, adjusted and generally made ready for their moment in the limelight.

It's going to be a cracking production so get on and book those tickets via the boxoffice link of head into Southern Cross Travel in the village.

Toodle pip - any one for a cucumber sarnie?
