NEWSFLASH

We will be adopting the new constitution at this meeting, so please come along and encourage others to do so as well.

Summer is over and the new season is just around the corner. The first play of the 2006/7 season, the long-awaited "Dry Rot", has been cast and rehearsals are in progress. The performance run is from the 10th of October to the 14th of October, tickets are available from the usual channels (phone 01756 791552, elsewhere on this website, through cast members) at the usual price.
The AGM looms closer, but as yet a date has not been confirmed - sometime in the week of the 17th is the likely time. Check local press for further details (and here!).
We still require a new Webmaster to run our website. As I said before, it's not hard to learn or do, there is a full guide to how to do it in the Members' Area of the website (someone on the Committee will give you the password after you volunteer), and all you basically need to do is take a few photos, ask a few questions, and type a few cryptically self-explanatory sentences in a text editor. Oh, and watch every show, hang out in the bar, and be able to tell the difference between technobabble and mere gibberish.

SLT is going quiet for the summer. Apart from the reading for the October play ("Dry Rot" by John Chapman, directed by Sue Clement) on Tuesday 8th August at 7.30pm, there is nothing going on at the theatre until then. The date of the AGM has not yet been confirmed, either.
There have been a couple of changes to the website, though. There has been a new link added (to Malhamdale.com), and there may shortly be another one, too. We have also submitted ourselves to join the Am-dram-ers of the World WebRing, which is bascially a link system to take you to other am-dram sites (it may take a few more days to activate). And I have added a few FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) to the General Information page. The site will roll-over to the next season shortly, so hopefully everything will be done by then.
Keep watching this space for news of the AGM and so on.

Well, the final play of the 2005/6 season is over, and it was a cracker! (There were times when I had trouble breathing because of all the laughing) Although the houses may not have been as good as they could have been, we'll put that down to the football. Let's hope the Farndale ladies come back with another production sometime soon.
Anyway, the next thing on at the Theatre is a Clairvoyant Evening, led by Scott Williams, on the 25th of July. We currently know little about this, but check local press for details.
The Annual General Meeting has been moved, from the end of the season to the start of the season, so it will not be taking place on Thursday 6th July as you may have seen on this site earlier, but it will now take place sometime in September. Watch this space for updates.
You may have noticed a slight change in the SLT Website - the long-disused Merchandise page has been removed to be replaced by the News page. This page will basically carry a copy of what goes out in the EMailshots, and will act as a news archive (once we get enough articles for it). By remaining subscribed to the EMail list, you can get the news as and when it comes out, as opposed to when you remember to check the News page.
Finally, the SLT Website will be needing a new Webmaster come September. I (Brian) will be stepping down as Webmaster at the AGM, to leave it to someone closer to the actual building to regularly pump the Committee for information on coming events, new plays, auditions, casts, and all the other stuff that a Webmaster needs to do. Any volunteers should contact the Committee over the summer - it's not hard, I've coded the pages with ease of updating in mind, and I'll be doing the major work of changing over the season from 2005/6 to 2006/7 at the start of August, so you'll have almost an entire year to practice in before you have to do it yourself.
