Last Year was a busy and exciting year for the Society.  At the end of October we put on a really successful production of HMS Pinafore at Poole’s Lighthouse, with packed houses and huge praise from our audiences.  Click here for the review by Linda Kirkman for the Bournemouth Echo.

 

Earlier in the year, during August, we took the 2008 production of The Sorcerer to the International G&S Festival at Buxton in Derbyshire and received several awards, including Best Male Performer, best Animated Chorus and came 2nd in the overall festival.

 

Our Spring Shows back in April and May went very well and this year we are planning a staged production of Trial by Jury, together with many of the favourite songs from the operas.  Have a look at the Spring Show page for more details.

 

We always finish our year with a carol season leading up to Christmas, raising money for the Macmillan Cancer Unit at Christchurch.  We are very proud that over the many years of singing carols we have raised well in excess of  £45,000 and 2009 brought a new record amount of over £4,500 to add to that.  Thank you to all those who give so generously.
