Did You Know?

The Society's 52nd Gilbert & Sullivan production and the sixth time for "Iolanthe".

We welcomed Ian Abbott, who joined us for the first time as Musical Director. Ian went on to fulfil this role for the following 2 years.
The production was dedicated to the memory of Allan Haigh who sadly passed away this year. Allan was a leading light in the society, taking a number of principal parts over many years, more often than not in one of the comedic roles.
