As you probably know, Clare has a personal interest in brain cancer research, and 20 September will see her at Windsor Leisure Centre for the Twilight Walk in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity.

Do please sponsor the lovely lady on the left! Her JustGiving page is at this link, but she’s in the alto chorus for the show this year, so you can shell out in person at any rehearsal. Good luck, Clare!

Following the recent auditions for principal parts, the production has now been fully cast, with the exception of Colonel Fairfax, as you will see at this link. Well done everybody!

There is still an opportunity for new chorus members to join the team. We welcome everyone, especially men – the Tower being a male-dominated environment! If you know someone who might be interested, encourage them to come along on any Wednesday, but don’t delay, since we will be starting on the floor during October. See this page for what’s involved in being a member.

Audition pieces for music and dialogue can now be downloaded at this link. Dates for auditions, and how to get involved in our next production, are given below.

The Chairman writes: “Several of us having been rehearsing in the last few weeks for the Christmas fund-raising concerts that we’re planning.  We’ve done three Wednesday rehearsals, and have one more planned, additional to the dates originally announced, next Wednesday (24 June).  The idea then will be to keep these items “warm” and add to them for the concerts around the time of Christmas.  (There’s still time and opportunity to be involved.)”

George writes: You’ll remember that we’d talked about beginning rehearsals for some of the items for the Christmas concerts before the summer, and then adding the more traditional items later.

Willie is proposing to hold rehearsals on three Wednesdays – 27 May, 3 June and 17 June – all at 7.30pm in Whitefield.  He has asked me in addition to invite you to consider what solos and/or small group items that you might like to volunteer.

Hoping to see a good number of you on 27 May!

Notice was given on 1 April that the Annual General Meeting of Dunfermline Gilbert and Sullivan Society will be held in Whitefield Day Hospital on Wednesday 22 April 2015 at 7.30pm. Links to a downloadable agenda and the 2014 AGM to which it refers were in an email circulated on 9 April, and George asks members to look at the agenda before the meeting. If you are a member, and haven’t received the email, please contact the Chairman or Administration Manager. The email also confirmed that a rehearsal would not be possible in the second part of the AGM night. We hope to see you there, even if you won’t be singing!
