We were very pleased to welcome the Mayor, Councillor David Hopkins and his wife Susan to see our production of “The Gondoliers”.? They kindly posed for photographs and visited backstage after the show.

It was quite a a moment when our president breezily introduced them to our dressing room just as we were getting out of our costumes! They were completely unfazed, unlike the semi-clad actors!

Cllr Hopkins wrote us a very nice letter after the show saying how much they had enjoyed it. He enclosed information about his charity for 2017/18, Ride High and we have chosen them for our GanderS charity spot?in this issue.
