Hi Everyone!

We're all on a break now and scattered all around the world till the 27th Jan at Tewksbury.
The Xmas Show was generally agreed to be the best yet and we had some fantastic nights,too many to list.The B.I.C.(Bournemouth International Centre)was great this year on both nights partly due to the monster P.A. system we put in. Everyone in that huge arena could hear everything.Nottingham was superb and packed on the 28th,the best attendance ever,and so responsive.The two Worthings were definitely the best Xmas shows yet and we took advantage of the two night situation to all go into town and have an end of year curry! So to Stevenage and New Years Eve. Its becoming a fixture in our calendar and the atmosphere was brilliant.We've aquired two new more powerful projectors and we tried one out to great effect.The 'caberet' style first half included the last rendition of " Dick Whittington" which we had great fun performing. It's pure "Carry on Panto". We always try to 'cook' the crowd to come to the boil at midnight.The dancefloor was jammed packed and everyone was singing,and the New Year was duly celebrated in fine style.There's a sense of relief when we've completed another year and we were able to have a word with a few of the revellers!
The crew, always first in and last out eventually departed about 4 A.M. to drive back to Bristol.Happy New Year guys!
Since then the repair and servicing of equipment has been in full swing and is due to be completed by the weekend. Look out for our new truck in the spring with personalised number plate "T'11BTD".
I'm off for a week to sit in warmer climes and do some writing,reading, planning and running.We alredy have some interesting ideas for the New 2007 Show. Keep suggestions coming in though,I always read and digest them.
See you all during the year,"Lets hope its a good one,without any fear". (Thats not me,thats John Lennon) Trevor

Happy New Year!

Well that's done then, Christmas is over and we had a really great run of shows ending on the 23rd in Maidstone. Thanks to everyone who plied us with cards, sweets, drink and other prezzies. It was much appreciated and it kept us going in what by any standards was a busy schedule.

Of course we're not done with the festive bit yet and it's amazing how well the show is received between Xmas and New Year. Nottingham on the 28th is the busiest we've ever been and both Worthings are sold out as is New Years Eve at Stevenage.

Here comes the big news!
Mark and Natasha got engaged on Christmas Eve, it's true, it's true! He did the whole bit. What a romantic.
I know you will all wish them happiness - everyone in the company is excited about it and the atmosphere back stage is great.

What a way to end the year, we'll let you know how the rest of the run and New Years Eve go but it's time to wish all our fans and friends the happiest of New Years and here's to 2007.

Best wishes
Trevor x
