Open auditions for our 60th Anniversary Production of 'A Brief Encounter with Noel Coward' will be held on Tuesday 4th August at Southmoor Village Hall. There will be the opportunity to audition for the one-act production of Still Life as well as a selection of short extracts/poems/songs etc from other Coward works. There are parts available for all ages. Also if you are interested in backstage/lighting/technical/producer/costume/props/front of house you should also come along on that date as we will be providing a gala supper as part of the Saturday night we do need all hands on deck.

Now is your chance to put your first foot on the show biz ladder for all those budding Brad Pitts and Angelina Jolies out there.

What else has happened this week? Pub Quizzes seem to be ruling my life at present. Thursday nights at The Fir Tree in Iffley Road, Sunday nights at the Swan in Faringdon and this week a quiz at the Corn Exchange in Faringdon again.

I am sure there will be some medical term for compulsive pub quizzing.

Now here’s a thing my bride and I have joined a gym (well nearly) we are going twice a week and will probably join. If anybody had told me this snippet twelve months ago I just wouldn’t have believed it. True to say we were advised by the doctor to attend but there you go. The funny thing is I am quite enjoying it.

So after a few months on various machines of torture I shall be slim and fit and probably not recognised if and when I step on to the stage next November.

Travel story this week. On a beautiful summer's day, two American tourists from Fairfield Glade were driving through Wales. They were at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch. They stopped for lunch, and one of the tourists, asked the waitress........................ "Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us"“Certainly, cooed the waitress” Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly? The girl leaned over and said, "Burrr … gurrr … king"
