Geoff’s BBQ (Sunday 7 August)
Geoff’s
BBQ
went
down
a
storm
yesterday
afternoon,
and
no
I
don’t
mean
it
was
a
wash
out,
although
the
sun
decided
that
it
was
a
waste
of
time
trying
to
penetrate
the
smoke
rising
from
the
BBQ
and stayed away.
The
usual
old
retainers
turned
up,
have
you
ever
known
a
pensioner
turn
down
free
grub,
as
well
as
a
those
of
us
still
a
number
of
ever
increasing years away from retirement.
Unfortunately
Lorraine
who
was
in
charge
of
supplies
was
suffering
from
(wo)man-flu
and
had
to
leave
the
caramelising
of
the
food
to
Geoff
with
the
help
from
Sam
who
did
the
green-
stuff.
After
nibbling
on
a
chipolata
in
a
roll
we
moved
onto
burgers,
stuffed
roasted
peppers
and
Sam’s
beautifully
prepared
green-stuff.
Puddin’
followed
with
a
difficult
choice
of
chocolate
sponge
type
thingy,
carrot
cake,
low(?)
calorie
rocky
road
and
to keep it healthy some strawberries and raspberries.
Most
of
us
decided
the
choice
was
too
difficult
and
had
a
bit
of
everything.
Five
o’clock
came
and
the
old
retainers
made
their
excuses
and
having
thanked
Geoff
departed,
well
it
was
teatime!
The
rest
stayed
for
a
bit
longer
depleting
the
drink
supplies
and
talking
about
campanology,
gyms
and
personal
trainers
and
cats with glass cutters.
Thank
you
Geoff
and
Sam
for
hosting
and
making
everyone
feel
welcome
and
to
everybody
else
who
attended
and
help
raise over £40 for the Alzheimer’s charity.

Murder, Margaret and Me
Winner of The Derby Telegraph Award
for BEST PRODUCTION
at the Eagle Awards 2017
Thank
you
to
Geoff
and
the
three
cast
members
Lorraine,
Sam
and
Kate,
for
such
an
amazing
performance
of
Murder
Margaret
and
Me.
It
was
thoroughly
enjoyed
by
all
our
audiences.
They
were
also
full
of
admiration
for
your
ability
to
remember so many lines.
Congratulations
too
to
Ian
who
provided
such
dramatic
lighting
effects,
and
Andrew
who
worked
tirelessly
to
create
an
excellent
set
and
collection
of props.
We
were
delighted
to
welcome
our
new
member
Joanna
who
was
a
great
support
as
prompt
during
rehearsals,
but
became
redundant
for
the
performances.
This
production
will
most
certainly
be
remembered for many years to come.

Robert and Stella learn that their son has been kidnapped - not for ransom, but to
force them to allow one of the kidnappers to remain in their house. Two other men,
supposedly police officers, arrive and reveal that one of the kidnappers has been
murdered. Soon, however, it is clear that these two are far from what they seem.

ALLESTREE THEATRE GROUP
A Brief History
The
Allestree
Theatre
Group
was
founded
in
1960
when
a
group
of
residents
met
at
the
house
of
Robert
(Bob)
and
Roma
Wilcock
in Birchover Way, Allestree and since then we have presented two full length plays virtually every year.
The
first
production,
in
May
1961,
was
a
single
performance
of
the
three
act
play
“Happy
Days”,
a
prophetic
phrase
for
the
ATG.
It
was rehearsed and performed at Fraser Hall, Leylands Cottage Homes, Broadway, Derby.
“Bonaventure”
and
“Blithe
Spirit”
were
the
first
two
paying
audience
productions
at
Sturgess
School,
Queensway,
now
a
cleared
site. Scenery had been acquired from a TV production in Manchester and some of it was still used until fairly recently.
St
Nicholas’
Church
was
the
venue
for
“Casey”
and
Sudbury
Prison
the
venue
for
“Birthday
Honours”
in
1962
and
1963
respectively.
St
Nicholas’
Church
Hall
was
completed
in
late
1963
and
the
first
performance
to
take
place
there
was
“Prophesy
to
the
Wind”.
The
Hall
has
been
the
Group’s
rehearsal
and
performance
venue
since
that
time
and
we
have
been
involved
in
many
Church
activities. We continued to present a single performance of each play at Leylands for many years.
In
competitions
at
Arts
Festivals
in
Derby.
Chesterfield
and
Tamworth
the
Group
have
received
awards
for
best
actor
and
actress,
best production, and best set and properties. Two plays written by a member of the group have been performed at Festivals.
Awards
and
nominations
for
the
Eagle
Awards,
which
were
presented
at
Derby
Playhouse,
have
included
best
production,
best
actor, best actress, best supporting actress, best newcomer and best set.
