The Lynden Players in 1986
THESE smartly-dressed ladies were about to take Germany by storm.
The Lynden Players were planning to travel to Hennef, Banbury’s German twin town, in 1986 to delight audiences with a traditional music hall show.
The group had started 25 years earlier with a one-act play at a Women’s Institute harvest supper.
Over the years, it grew into a group of 40, putting on musicals, plays and pantomimes, organising charity roadshows and giving free entertainment for the elderly in North Oxfordshire. The trip to Germany was another chapter in the drama group’s success story.
