Thanks to some ‘Lockdown Rummaging’ the following batch of ‘new’ memorabilia has now been added to the Website. As with earlier additions and updates, you will find that most of these are highlighted in the website with a ‘NEW’ Icon
HOME PAGE/MEMBERS PAGE:
- The ‘Members Page’ has been revised and given a deal more prominence on the Website’s Home with a collage of those former members who have been back in contact since the 2007 Re-Union. The actual page has also been revamped and almost all of this group of members are now linked to an up to date Photo Gallery – albeit that a few of these have had to be taken from the 1977 Farewell Event when Mr M retired!
- The previous listing of all known members and school staff who were involved in both the joint school and Drama Club productions has been revised
PRODUCTION PAGE:
- 1962: The Town That Would Have A Pageant (TTTWHAP). Addition of the inner pages of the programme and a further multi signed copy of the cover – to compliment the one already in the Gallery!

Addition made to the cast list for Susan Riches as Prince Ricardo and inclusion of the script pages showing musical numbers, scene synopsis and the character list. A ‘spot the difference’ type rehearsal photograph has also been added to the existing one on the website – just to highlight the stage direction!
