WelcomeAs a founder member of this club, may I welcome other groups from Huntingdonshire to our 50th anniversary Party. Amateur drama has figured largely in my non-working life, over 100 productions, and I recall with gratitude a host of memories and valued friends it has brought me. Some of those close friends are no longer with us but always remembered. All clubs experience their highs and lows, their successes and flops, their unwanted back-stage dramas, the important thing is not to loose heart and to carry on. A great bonus of amateur drama is the camaraderie that exists between all participants, back-stage as well as those in the public eye. There is bound to be rivalry and competition between club and among club members but the strong bonding and mutual respect are still there. Think of happenings and anecdotes that can only be told and only be appreciated by like-minded people. Tonight, however, there is no spirit of competition. We are all here to have an enjoyable evening. Thank you for joining our party and taking part in the festivities. Jack Hyde
