Frome’s Woodlanders share the proceeds of their 2012 Music Hall

THE Woodlanders recently welcomed representatives from 15 different organisations to East Woodlands Village Hall where they were presented with cheques to a total of £3,000, raised from the proceeds of last year’s highly successful Music Hall.

2012 was the The Woodlanders 35th consecutive year of raising money by staging a week of Music Hall concerts at ‘The Woodlands Hippodrome’. Over the years more than £100,000 has been raised from the shows with many local charities, organisations and community groups benefitting from the proceeds in this way.

This year was no exception with the following organisations all receiving cheques from members of the group:

Society of Disabled Artists • Positive Action on Cancer • Gym Finity • Mendip Community Transport • Frome Carnival Committee • Frome Memorial Theatre Trust • Samvantva Juniors Carnival Club Warminster • Be a Brick  The Forever Friends Appeal • Life Education Wessex • Kids Out • East Woodlands Village Hall (The Woodlands Hippodrome) • Dorothy House • Frome Carnival Committee • Frome Autistic Support Team • MU Family Contact Centre.

This year will see the 36th Woodlanders Music Hall take place every evening from Monday 30th September until Saturday 5th October. Performances all begin at 7.45pm at East Woodlands Village Hall (Yes – this is The Woodlands Hippodrome).

Rehearsals are already well under way for this year’s ‘Monstrous Show’ and tickets are now on sale from Joy Chant, telephone 01373 463643.
