Finances

Phillip approved the payment of the Artworks Theatre bill.

We expect a letter from Harrop and Hargrave at the end of the year that they may be unable to continue as our accountants

Susan gave Nassai the 2014 accounts from Harrop and Hargrave

Susan and Mark will be doing online banking with Business Fastnet

Play

We still only have 3 cast members for The Fat Lady Sings: Janis McArdle and Renee Casserly have been suggested for the 4^th and Andy has contacted them.

On Thursday the 14th we will have a rehearsal at Artworks Theatre for the variety show.

Ann is not available between 9th and the 18th of July; so probably only Th/Fr/Sa/Sa/Su shows on two weekends—10 shows.

Phillip suggests that the Fat Lady play is too long and may need editing; Andy disagrees…

We will hold a musical rehearsal with costumes at the pensioner village on the Thursday before the Press Dress (Th18Jun).
