HOORAY FOR STEVE

JORDAN

...he answers our prayer...

Following last month's desperate appeal, Steve Jordan has stepped up to the tool box and offered to help us rectify our garage door issue. Your committee broke out into spontaneous merriment at the news. For those who don't know; Steve is a long-time Crude Apache supporter, old mate of Jo Edye and father of Ellie “bass ace” Jordan. Thank you, Steve. We look forward to checking out the action on that door soon.

MORE GARAGE

NEWS...

Ask not for whom the garage bell tolls, it tolls for thee. Or something. This Saturday is Garage-D-Day. Chairman Will's latest initiative Codename: Chuck the Crap will kick off at the Browne St Garage on Saturday at High Noon. It will only take a couple of hours and there will be a party after as long as a certain committee member remembers to warn his housemates.

NB LaRPers and other theatre companies, if you don't help out, you won't get to borrow.

THIS INCLUDES YOU FLUFFY BEN !

Another HOORAY FOR JACQUI

MACKAY

Our first human honourary member has begun creation of a useful database. Soon a questionnaire will be winging (well emailing) its way to you picking your brains for contacts, rehearsal spaces, hire firms, etc. Jax will then collate the data into useful information that can be passed to all future directors. Good idea, huh?

Plone Sweet Plone

Will hassled some people this month to further his ambition to be Ploneward Bound (is that like Egg Bound?). The future beckons. Copy deadlines are next meeting. You know who you are...

Faustus

The show went well and attracted good audiences – especially the Thursday night that had the student reductions. Early predictions are for a £450 profit and a big welcome to new members Sam, Marion and Horny Dan. There were technical issues with The Garage but hopefully their intention to appoint a full time techie will iron out these problems. Post-show discussion covered use of different (slightly cheaper) venues in the future and how we approach grant applications with a view to building up a stock of stuff.

Singing & Swinging the Postman

Rehearsal continue apace. Gromore gets to snog two more men on stage but there are no whips involved this time.

Read The Newsletter

It emerged in the meeting that certain people were unaware of important social developments (ie. gossip) over the past few months. Here is a one off re-cap but in future, read the newsletter. (1) Manda and Harry had a boy called Billy

(2) Ian and Rachel had a girl called Rosa

3. Panda and Marc are expecting in August

4. Jax and Toby are expecting in September

5. Ding dong ding dong (say no more)

ALSO Norwich police are having a crackdown on untaxed vehicles. You have been warned...

What's In The Cupboard Russ?

Russell J's latest scheme to identify free beer, The Comedy Closet, will take place in August at the Cider Shed on waterloo Road. Please contact him if you have a song or sketch or are interested in developing something - ooh err missus!

Will Projects (Will projects what?)

Not satisfied with a regular Ploning from Rupert, Chairman Will is initiating projects all over the place. His latest script Neurotica – a comedy about office life – was read this week (read aloud that is, by others apart from Will). He has also decided to create a new play from improvisation. Mona 1992 will focus around a re-union of two schools friends, one successful and one not. Improv sessions will begin during June with a view to performing later in the year. Involvement in the improv does not mean you have to commit to the show and vice versa. Sounds interesting? Give Will a call – he gets so lonely.

Stiff Upper Lip

Tom Puppet's mate, the not at all hilariously named Mike Stiff (snigger!) is making a short film and needs extras. But seriously, he is an all round good bloke, very talented and good natured and comes highly recommended. The experience promises to be highly rewarding and fun. It will be filmed on Thurs 22^nd and Sat 24^th June. Contact Tom Puppet for more details or to express an interest. Or ring Mike directly on 0771 760 7483 saying you are a mate of Tom's.

A Commitment

Andy Bennett and Russell J aim to produce two shows together over the next 12 months. Is this a threat or a promise?

Oompah oompah, stick it up your jumper!

Andy also needs loads of really bad taste jumpers, sweatshirts and cardys. Not for a night out on Riverside but for some Coalition related filming. Drag those embarrassing gems out of the wardrobe and dump them on the northern one.
