This event had been orgnised in Oaklands Park in Hythe to raise awareness about dementia, and featured vintage amusements, information stands, craft stalls and live entertainment throughout the day.

The Sound of Music https://sdarcwellness.com/online-therapy/ cast did their part with their first live performances, including both teams of Von Trapp children, raising both money for the great cause and promoting the upcoming show to the people of Hythe.

It’s the start of a new season and founder Joe Maplin announces that he is setting up a camp in the Bahamas. Joe needs female Yellowcoats (entertainers) to go and work there, and the annual ‘Miss Yellowcoat’ competition will decide who… imagine the rivalry!

Camp cleaner Peggy, meanwhile, is thrilled at the prospect of a vacancy for a new Yellowcoat and convinces Entertainments Manager Jeffrey that she is the ideal https://www.glenerinpharmacy.com/buy-generic-cialis-online/ candidate for the job.

Ted is forced to employ numerous money-making schemes when his ex wife turns up at the camp with a bailiff in tow, and Yvonne and Barry Stuart-Hargreaves send the rumour mill into its usual overdrive, when Gladys is overheard escorting Jeffrey into his chalet late one evening.

Hi-de-hi, campers!

FHODS will be performing Patrick Hamilton’s Victorian thriller ‘Gaslight’ this November and audition details are now available.

Jack Manningham is slowly, deliberately driving his wife, Bella, insane. He has almost succeeded when help arrives in the form of a former detective, Rough who reveals to Bella the shocking truth behind her husband. The action all takes place in one evening in the living room of the Manningham’s home.

This is the play that the 1944 film with Ingrid Bergman and Angela Lansbury was based on and this gripping Victorian thriller promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking production for all involved.
