Summer BBQ
Play Readings
After the success of last years
BBQ we are holding a similar
event on Friday 1st July 2011
at Meadowtop, Back Lane,
Chipping by kind permission of
our Chairman Terry Till.
Again this year Terry has
kindly offered to take anyone
who wants (for a small fee),
out on one of his military
vehicles. We may get him to
get the Tank out again too
(weather permitting).
The Play this year will be
directed by Lesley Haworth
and will be a farce or comedy.
The cost will again remain at
£5.00 per head, which will
include your food. Bring your
own drinks, glasses and a
garden chair (if you have one).
