The Christmas Party format was slightly different this year - usually we have a little bit of business and a fair bit of eating and drinking and sandwiched in between a variety show where the members show off their talents. This year the sandwich filling was a "Victorian Melodrama" where the usual suspects in the normal variety performance showed off their talents as actors. The almost totally unscripted performance turned out to be a total hoot with all the cast being prepared to make idiots of themselves and doing it in the most hilarious way imaginable - it could easily have been a disaster but emerged as a total triumph!
Rosemary who adapted the screen play, made the costumes (sort of), produced, directed and generally chivvied everybody along is to be congratulated and thanked for all the hard work she put into the preparation. Thanks also to the cast for their undoubted ability to rise to any occasion and to the audience who wholeheartedly threw themselves into the action - singing, booing, hissing and catcalling at the least opportunity. A cracking morning!
