ON behalf of the Midland Musical Theatre Group I would like to thank all the patrons who packed the theatre each night when we performed this very special 25th anniversary show Let the Good Times Roll at the Festival Theatre, Malvern, between November 24-29.

Thanks to all the support the show received, it was a big success and as a charitable organisation we have been able to make generous donations to several worthwhile causes such as the Macmillan Paediatric Nurses, Worcester Wildlife Trust, Neonatal Unit at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital, Acorns Hospice appeal and the Swan Theatre.

Operation Christmas Child was also well supported with 571 filled shoe boxes being brought to the theatres. Well done and thank you. Children who live in countries full of poverty across Eastern Europe did benefit from your generosity with an extra 571 smiling faces at Christmas.

Thank you again for 25 years of loyal support and we look forward to meeting you all at the Malvern Festival Theatre on Sunday, March 21, or at the Swan Theatre on Sunday, March 28, when we will be holding a gala charity show for the theatre. Come along and support your local theatre. Tickets, all priced at £8, are already available from Carole Langford on (01905) 425299.
