A patient recently asked a doctor friend of mine if she should have a baby after 35. The doctor answered, quite rightly, no, thirty-five children was enough.
I use these words to link the fact that on club night last Tuesday I thought I had gone into the wrong room. There were at least eight teenagers in residence and here I have to say the first thing one of them did was go a fetch a chair for me, and other members who turned up later. A most well brought up young man I thought.
It’s good to see this number of young people taking an interest in drama and engaging in something creative especially as they normally get such a bad press.
Some of them read bits and pieces and I must say they were very good. Most encouraging. God I’m sounding here like Chuffer Dandridge the elderly well-known Actor/Manager.
Many were there to audition for our entertainment night on February 2nd which is now called ’For One Night Only’ an evening of miscellaneous poetry, prose and more. So there we have it.
Tickets are £6 each and the extravaganza starts at 7.30 pm Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor Village Hall. Want tickets? Call 01865 820605.
Having listened to a reading from a play suggested for the next production I thought it time to retire to the local hostelry and dragged with me friend George who does bear a striking likeness to old Chuffer.
Committee meeting last night in the lost continent of Charney Bassett (no relation) and the usual topics covered, last play, next play, festival plays, social events and three hours (possibly more) discussing the legal implications of having young people in our group. I did lose the will to live twice during the discussion but was saved by the doctor friend of mine, who being a dermatologist advised not to make any rash moves, as against the ophthalmologist who considered the idea short-sighted.
Christmas in case you haven’t noticed is almost upon us and in line with most people I guess like the idea of the holiday but get a bit disgruntled at the sheer commercialism of the whole thing. Why for instance is Lulu seen pushing a shopping trolley down the High Street whilst advertising Morrison Stores.
Has she pinched the trolley? Does she have her own gold-plated trolley? Come on Morrison’s let’s have some answers. Including why your nearest store is in Banbury!
