HMS Pinafore 2012
Thank You!
As we pack away the costumes and readjust to “normal life” after the exhilaration of performing HMS Pinafore, we’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who came to see the show, or who was involved in making it a success. By taking the show on tour on the 23rd and 24th March we helped to raise funds for two local charities: Wakefield Riding for the Disabled and The Society for the Blind of Dewsbury, Batley and District. We are now planning the programme for our concert series which we will rehearse over the summer, and starting to think about celebrating our 30th anniversary in 2013.
If you enjoyed the show and have been inspired to take up singing, do get in touch. We have a great time rehearsing and performing, and we are always delighted to welcome new members.
