Rehearsals continue on ‘Still Life’ with a makeshift set as plans are formed to turn the village hall stage into a replica of Carnforth railway station over the next few weeks. Brief Encounter is one of my all time favourite films so it’s a labour of love rehearsing this time.

So rehearsals are now in full swing and Still Life begins to take shape. As we all know by now this is the play from which the film Brief Encounter was made, one of Noel Coward’s finest productions. So I am enjoying the rehearsals immensely.

The sun shone beautifully last Sunday for the annual BBQ and it was also very well attended. Good food, good drink, good company….no one misbehaved, good grief…so there you go another successful event by KBDG. Thanks to Andrea and Paul for their hospitality and to everyone else who came along for the array of food especially the desserts.
