Clare’s long walk

Clare White is organising a fund-raising evening on Saturday 24 May at 7.30pm in the Torryburn Community Centre: details on the members page.

Profits will be split between the Society and Clare’s sponsorship for her trek to Machu Picchu, which is in aid of Bobath Scotland, a charity that helps children with cerebral palsy. If you can’t come on the night, you can make a donation via Clare’s JustGiving web page.

Relay for Life

Others are being energetic in the cause of charity, and the Society is now signed up to take part in this event on the evening of 23 August, as you’ll see from the members page. For further information about other aspects of Relay for Life, which raises funds for Cancer Research UK, please talk to Geoff.

Yeomen auditions

If you are interested in auditioning for a principal part in our next show, Auditions will be held at Whitefield Day Centre on Sunday 22 June between 14:30 and 18:00. You will need to contact Lyn (01383 723633) for a slot. Make a note of the date: details of the audition pieces are on our audition page.

Make-up artist wanted

The Society would like to hear from any individual with experience of modern stage make-up. Knowledge of character make-up would definitely be required. Performances would take place during February 2009. This is a voluntary post, but reasonable travelling expenses would be paid. For further information please contact Mike Pendlowski, Production Manager, on 07867 517058 or e-mail mike.pendlowski@northernlight.co.uk.

What did you think of our show?

In our Pinafore 2008 archive, the beginnings of which you will find at this link, we’ve included a review of our first night. Since then, we’ve heard many people comment what a great show it was, but we’ve seen nothing in writing.

Why don’t you remedy this by adding your brief critique? All you have to do is press this link, and your browser will open up a blank email with the subject line “What I thought of the show”.

All contributions are welcome, but please add your name and address. This will be cut down to initials and locality when quoting your kind words, but, as with the press, we like to be able to substantiate anything we put on the web site.

WELCOME TO OUR WEB SITE

The Dunfermline Gilbert and Sullivan Society is an amateur group aiming to foster and maintain a knowledge and appreciation of the works of W S Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan by the regular, public performance of their works (read more of our history here).

The Society is a registered charity: Scottish Charity Number SC030518.

Our main annual show is performed in the Carnegie Hall each February and is usually one of the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. We also produce a Summer Concert held in late June each year.

NEW MEMBERS

If you want to sing with us, come along to the rehearsals for our Midsummer Musical Medley on 20 June at the Vine Christian Church, Garvock Hill, Dunfermline, which are at Whitefield Day Centre at 7.30pm on Wednesdays.

And there are always things for non-singing members to do! If you are interested, please email us or contact our Administration Manager, Lyn, on 01383 723633.

KEEPING IN TOUCH 

It’s always difficult to see at a glance when your favourite Society is performing, but Concert Diary have all our promotions on their web site, which is a useful place to look for other quality entertainment.

SET FOR SALE/HIRE

Everyone who came to our production of The Gondoliers said how impressed they were by the realism of the set, and by its marvellous sense of perspective. And the members enjoyed its ease of access for getting on and off the stage! But good things like this are better used, rather than kept in store, so the set is now available for sale or hire. See our Set for sale page for further information.
