Chairman's Page
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to this, our twenty-fifth anniversary production. "Princess Ida" is probably the most ambitious show we have ever staged and we hope it will be our most successful too. Our producer this year, Marjorie Holt, is a newcomer to the society, whilst our musical director makes a welcome return after six years.
Though 1972 is our Silver Jubilee year our continued existence has recently been threatened by possible future legislation concerning Students Unions. Should the proposals become law, we should lose one of our principal sources of income. May I therefore bring to your attention our patronage scheme?
Patrons receive a ticket for the show on the night of their choice, their names appear in the programme and they are sent frequent news of other society activities - all this for an annual fee of 1 pound (or more if anyone should feel so generous!) Further details can be obtained from the Society Secretary via the University Union.
In conclusion I hope sincerely that you will enjoy the show as much as we have enjoyed its rehearsal.
Philip Swee
 Music
Complete recordings of this show (and all from 1964 onwards) can be purchased on CD from Mike Harris, our Society Archivist
