100 THEATRE TRIPS Dorothy Harrison, Pat Atherton and Gwen Holyland celebrated the 100th Theatre trip with a cake, a meal and a visit to Aladdin at the Everyman! Chairman Geoff Maitland presented Dorothy with a small gift in appreciation for all her hard work with the Theatre Club

The theatre group organises some enjoyable events, some small but mostly large groups at a cross section of theatre, musicals, opera, ballet, plays, Shakespeare, etc. Travel to these events is usually by coach.

We are doing occasional ‘Dial-a-Ride’ trips for those unable to use the regular coach or train visits
