At last night’s General Meeting, the Committee presented the proposed new constitution to a very well attended meeting. We were delighted that the new constitution was adopted with the unanimous support of all in attendance. We will undertake to get a copy to all members as soon as we can.

It is with great sadness that we have to report the passing of Peter Clarke last night. Peter directed our 2004 Production of Fiddler on the Roof, and was held in very high regard and thought of very affectionately. Our thoughts are with Myrna at this sad time.
