Chairmans September 2024 Letter
HAPPY AUTUMN TO YOU ALL.
As the perspiration from the heat of August recedes into memory, we are starting the new WP year with our AGM (Thursday 5th September) and rehearsing 2 plays (with food) for November 2024.
Joyce’s campaign for getting a WVH defibrillator for the WVH comes to fruition soon. The money is raised, and the electrician will be doing the enabling works this week, so we should be “LIVE” with the machine before too many of the rehearsals for the next show pass. Thank you to all who contributed.
A warm welcome to new member Emma Banks, who has a part in one of the Novembers plays.
Finally, we are all very sad to note the passing
of Ken Jones, a valued supporter and participant
in the full spectrum of WP activities over the last
35 years.
Our condolences to his widow, Claire Jones, a
staunch WP member and their family.
Jan

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY...
Forward events
social activities and dates of note are posted here. WATCH THIS SPACE REGULARLY...
Please feel free to suggest any new (or even) old social activities that you and very likely others in the WP's will enjoy. Speak to Jan (not at rehearsal... she's busy directing..) or send in an email or text via the contact on the contact page...
We'd like to do more WP events including the patrons and the wider village community as well as the "usual suspects" - our faithful members. We'll probably do a Quiz next year...
See if you can sound out people you know what they would like to do of a weekend afternoon or evening for entertainment - how about a Karaoke night? Or, a Race Night.
Westoning Players offer amateur drama as an entertaining and rewarding leisure hobby for adults. Every show is different. Each show has different needs for the actors, the set constructors, the Back-stage and Front-of-House teams too. And different challenges for the director and producer. We invite you come on down and get involved. Bring a buddy along too.
It's good fun. Cheap giggle therapy too!
Please come and see what we are about. We will need to have another show to choose, plan and execute for November 2024. So we need more ACTORS, directors and everybody* else... the more people participating the wider the choice of plays that we can stage...
*All skills & talents are needed including tea-making and empathising, carpentry, electrical, ladder-holding, tantrum management... etc. Ideal for a parent wanting a local outlet to escape for a couple of hours. We can even do job-shares for couples so you can alternate... You owe it to your own mental health.
