New Forest Player's Youth Group
for 'A Woodland Tale' after Shakespeare
Our congratulations to all the above, in fact to all the groups and actors who took part, particularly the New Forest Players group that presented 'The Hitch Hiker', due to a late cancellation by a Group due to illness. This play which had been originally produced for a New Forest Club night was well received, but did not receive an award, as it had not been entered in the Festival
If your group does not already enter a Festival, persuade them to do so next year. It is a challenge. It keeps members stimulated and on their toes. Above all it's a lot of fun. RS
