85th Anniversary celebrations!

Members and guests of the Dramatic Society celebrated 85 wonderful years of drama with a meal at The Ship Inn,  Handbridge.   After a delicious meal and a super table quiz, the evening was topped off with speeches from our Chair and our President (pictured).  It is amazing to think that we have now performed over 125 productions in the village hall and we look forward to many more in the years ahead.

Happy Anniversary UDS !
