TOADS would like to wish all our members and supporters a very happy new year as we start a new season!

The TOADS 2022 panto, Mother Goose, was another roaring success with (nearly) sell out crowds! Photos of the cast and crew are available here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAirrE

For 2023 we are starting a new production process where we’re seeking the knowledge, experience and ideas of the TOADS family to help us come up with ideas for our Spring and Christmas shows.

Firstly, we are seeking ideas for a Spring Show, and to that end we are having an “Ideas Night” at Christy Hall on Sunday 22nd January at 7pm. If you have a idea for a theme please come along. You don’t have to have a full script, or even a partial one – we are looking for a concept we can then work on together.

Also, the TOADS AGM will be Sunday 19th February at 6pm at Chritsty Hall. Any friends of TOADS are welcome to attend, but only those who were paid up members in the last year may cast a vote on the night.

At the AGM you can hear from the committee, learn more about what we’ve been up to over the last year and our thoughts on this year. You are welcome to ask questions on the night, or send the chair an email in advance (chair@oa-toads.org.uk) which he can respond to at the meeting.
