The Woodlanders, Somerset’s longest running music hall, is famous for their annual music hall shows at East Woodlands Village Hall, near Longleat and always welcomes new members.
The company is inviting any budding thespians, musicians, costume makers, prop makers, painters etc who would be interested in joining them for this year’s show – which runs from Monday 7th October to Saturday 12th October to contact Trudi on 01373 462745.
They say, “We have a varied mix of music, from Cole Porter to songs from famous shows, sketches – some old (think Two Ronnies) some new (think Star Trek), musicians – from ukuleles to accordions and almost anything you can think of in between. It is a two-hour variety show put on especially to make you have a good time.
“Anyone interested in joining the group is invited to come along to one of our meetings, the next ones are on the following Mondays – 11th March, 1st April (AGM) and 13th May at 8pm at the Horse and Groom pub at East Woodlands. If you prefer, you can always give us a call on 01373 462745 or visit our website – www.thewoodlanders. org.uk for more information.
“We are a small friendly group who like to have a laugh and raise lots of money while doing a little bit of work and having fun. If this sounds like you, don’t be shy – give us a call. Each year, the Woodlanders donate the proceeds from our show to the local communities. Last year’s donations totalled some £3,000. To be considered, applicants need to state the group or organisation they are representing, why they would like a donation and what they would do with the money. Requests should be sent to: The Secretary, The Woodlanders, Mrs T Whittock, Windsbatch Lane, Oldford, Frome, BA11 2NN. All requests must be received by 1st April.
“This year the Woodlanders Music Hall AGM is on 1st April 2019 at 8pm at the Horse & Groom pub (in the conservatory), East Woodlands.
