This week saw the annual Childrens’ Workshop in full swing with two full days of tuition being put in by the Group’s keen types with 20 children under the age of 10 attending the Circus themed event on Wednesday, and Thursday the 10-14 year olds threw themselves into a modern version of Oliver.

Rehearsals start first week in September for Still Life and I am cast as the Albert the Ticket Collector who has designs on Myrtle who works behind the station refreshment counter. Stanley Holloway played my part in the film (Brief Encounter), it’s a great part and I am looking forward to getting to grips with the role and possibly Myrtle in the autumn.

This weekend is our Group barbecue so we’re obviously hoping for fine weather. This is a rare treat as group social events have bitten the dust a tad of late. A full account next week on what happened, who misbehaved etc., etc.

Apart from the above snippets the silly season continues and news is scarce. However I have been forgiven by Kate (see last weeks blog) and I have it in writing, Chuffer has been behaving himself on the lady front of late, mind you he is going to the barbecue so this might not continue, and we still have no Chairman but this is to be resolved at a special meeting in a couple of weeks.

So there you have it, you now know everything there is to know concerning Kingston Bagpuize Drama Group. Further revelations next week.

I did meet a man once who said he looked upon my blog as a source of new jokes, so for at least his edification One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the road-side eating grass.

Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.

"We have to eat grass."

"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said.

"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."

"Bring them along," the lawyer replied.Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us, also."

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"

"Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered.They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind."

"Thank you for taking all of us with you."

The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it.You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high"
