 Notes
The Chairman's PageOn behalf of myself and my committee, I would like to welcome you all to this year's production of 'The Yeomen of the Guard'. As you will no doubt be pleased to hear, in the light of current events, we have resisted all temptation to rename our production - 'The Yeopersons of the Guard' (or The Merryperson and his Person) and have relied on the wealth of talent in the Society and shear excellence of Musical and Dramatic production to provide enjoyment for our audience. We gratefully welcome back this year, John Bethell as Musical Director who, despite a long and serious illness, has been the driving force behind the musical development of the Society, and Marjorie Holt as Producer who, after far too long an absence, has repeated her successes of previous years with the Society, and we all hope that we will be able to cement our relationship with them to provide even greater successes in years to come. Thanks must also go to our backstage and front-of-house staff who work tirelessly night after night, seemingly without the reward of your applause. We only hope they realise that this must be shared equally between them and those onstage. It only remains for me to thank you, the audience, for supporting our Society once again, and know that you will enjoy your evening with us as never before.  Music
Complete recordings of this show (and all from 1964 onwards) can be purchased on CD from Mike Harris, our Society Archivist
