Details of how to contact us can be found on the Contacts page, along with the new Committee details. The newsletter will be produced twice a year, in the Autumn and in the Spring, keeping members and Patrons fully up to date with all the latest news, pre and post shows. If you have any suggestions for items which you would like to see in the newsletter, please let us know! With our best wishes

| Auditions were held in October for our next production, which is "Patience ". Producers Andy and Julie Weston with Musical Director Stella Brownsea, had a challenging afternoon auditioning, resulting in the following cast: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Rehearsals are well
underway and are proving to be the usual heady
mix of fun and hard work ! With several old and new members, the male
chorus is proving a force to be reckoned with. We are delighted to welcome the following new friends: Kath and Maurice Beth, Jeanne, Cathy and Steve. Plus Matthew, of course, already listed above! We hope that you enjoy being with us and that it will be the first of many shows with us! Andy and Julie have a delightful set designed around Bunthorne's library - involving enormous books with turning pages - Robin, our talented singing set builder/set building singer, is already getting excited about the ambitious project although we haven't seen any Lego models appearing for this one! We are also pleased to welcome Jenny Roberson as Rehearsal Pianist! |
| The Society has had
happy and sad news since the last newsletter. Congratulations firstly to Rachel and Andrew who celebrated their wedding in June - busy time indeed for Rachel who had just finished playing one new bride - Elsie in "Yeomen.." to be re-enacting the real thing! Congratulations also to Teresa and John who are looking forward to the birth of their first child - hope baby's lungs are future singer's ones as well! As well as celebrating happy events , we were also deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of two former members. Alison Tuffrey (McCully) had been one of the great principal sopranos of the Society and we were all shocked to hear of her death. She and her husband Brian had often played opposite each other and their involvement with ENOS had extended to Brian being Chairman in the late 1990s. Recently, we have been saddened to have lost Sue Christian - Sue and her daughter Ayshea both sang with ENOS, with Sue also serving as prompt and helping in so many capacities ..front of house, make up and so on. We remember both Alison and Sue with affection and gratitude. |

| 10 things we bet you never knew | |
| 1. What was your
first show with ENOS? Patience - 1996 2. What was or is your favourite ENOS show and why? My favourite show is always the one I happen to be rehearsing at the time. So at the moment Patience again! I love to see the production evolving before my eyes and feeling "This is going to be so good" 3. Your most disliked food. Jellied eels without a doubt or Vivienne's smelly scones in Yeomen 4. Your favourite film or TV show. It has to be a weepy like Gone with the Wind or Little Women. I love the BBC period Dramas like Cranford on at the moment. 5. The part you would most like to play on stage (not necessarily G&S but anything, anyhow, anywhere). I too could be Maria....................but rather less than more 6. Any irritating habits, that is - your own. Can't withhold one liners and can't hold my drink. If anyone cares to enlighten me to more I would be most interested 7. Most embarassing moment. Viewing a house and my "hold ups " fell to my ankles whilst crossing the garden and the owner (A man) turned round just as I was trying to discreetly step out of them. 8. Favourite animal. Pray you tell me if you can - what's the thing that's known as man? 9 . First musical memory. Singing hymns at school and everyone stopped after the first verse and I went on alone to second and third verses of Summer Suns are Glowing 10. What did you have for breakfast (day not specified). You do not want to know my bad habits but inevitably two cups of black coffee and a banana when I get to work |
