The Drama Group will be taking part in a Community Drama Event organised by and held at Boston Spa School

BDG will be performing a

one act comedy called:

“A Funny Thing Didn't Happen'“

by Dorothy Galvin.

Directed by 18 yr old Robyn Henderson

Tickets £3 & £2 for concessions

An 18 year old ‘A’ level student from Bramham is set to make her debut this week when a one-act play she has directed is performed by Bramham Drama Group in the local village hall.

Despite the pressures of studying for exams, Robyn Henderson, who is taking A levels in Art, Theatre Studies & Product Design at St Aidan’s Church of England High School, Harrogate, is putting the finishing touches to the play ‘A Funny Thing Didn’t Happen’ which was performed on Saturday, 26^th June and again at Boston Spa School on Friday, 9^th July 2004 during a Drama Festival organised by the school.

The comedy, written by the late Dorothy Galvin (a former contemporary of Dora Bryan), is an hilarious ‘play within a play’ with the actors playing a drama group rehearsing for a play set in Rome – a sort of Up Pompeii meets Hilda Baker!

Robyn is well known in the village through her activities with the Guides having recently obtained her full leader status in charge of 1^st Bramham Rangers.

In her capacity as a Guider she visited Thailand in 2002 and Mexico in 2003 where she joined other guides in carrying out humanitarian projects in under privileged communities. In July she is off again for a month - this time to Pune in India to fulfil a similar task.

Robyn’s interest in drama goes back to primary school days when she first joined Bramham Drama Group with her parents. Since that time she has had a variety of parts in several pantomimes over the years and has helped backstage in school productions.

If successful in her exams, Robyn is hoping to continue her love of the stage at York, St John College where she hopes to study for a BA in Theatre, Film & TV Production.

I still hear voices saying “I wish we could refurbish the Chapel it would be great” .There are still a lot of you with memories of bygone days when Chapel was full with Boys Brigade Sunday school and other activities. The future as always is in God’s hands but he needs workers and that means you. So pray for God’s Will to be done.

The Council has been asked for clarification over the allocation of Residents’ Tickets for the Carling Leeds Festival in August. In particular, some residents erroneously assumed from the letter from the promoter, Mean Fiddler, that all applications would be successful. Originally Mean Fiddler offered the village 200 tickets to enable residents to attend at an advantageous rate. Mean Fiddler did this on the express condition that the Council ensured that only genuine residents of the village were to be granted tickets. Applications were received for a total of 500 tickets by the closing date. Many of these included friends and relatives not living in the village, and excluding them brought the number of applications down to 361. This was discussed with Mean Fiddler, who generously agreed to increase the allocation to 361 tickets, subject to the strict rules about residency being confirmed by identification for every ticket allocated. All the tickets have been allocated and will be sent out about a week before the event.

Mean Fiddler has also asked the Council to reassure residents that whilst their entertainment licence runs until midnight on each of the 4 nights, the live music on the main stage is scheduled to take place up to 11 pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. On the Thursday night and between 11 pm and midnight on other nights, there will only be music on the minor stages which will not be audible in the village. Of course, the licence does allow for minor over-runs on the main stage as happened on the Friday last year.

One issue that this activity has thrown up is that a significant number of residents, and not just people recently moved to the village, are not on the electoral roll. The Council encourages residents who did not receive the recent postal vote documents to check with Leeds City Council Elections on 0113 247 6726 that their details are correctly recorded.

West Yorkshire Police has decided to strengthen their community representation in the villages in this area, and the Council is pleased to welcome PC Kate Dunn, who has a role in Bramham, Clifford and Boston Spa. One issue which she has asked the Council to raise with residents is the recent spate of theft of high value items such as mountain bikes and golfing equipment from sheds and garages. These areas tend not to be protected by the usual security measures such as mortice locks and alarms and may also not be covered by insurance. PC Dunn will regularly be available to meet with residents to discuss their policing issues in the Old Peoples’ Shelter. Dates and times are published on the Parish notice board.

The Council has secured a grant from the Countryside Agency to produce the Parish Plan. There will be a public meeting in the Village Hall on Monday 12th July at 7.30 pm to launch the preparation of the plan. This is your chance to have a say in the future of your village.

No News this month

Before going on holiday, ask your neighbours to keep an eye on your home while you are away.

Ask them to pick up mail if it builds up into a pile behind the front door. If you are away for an extended period ask your neighbour to cut your lawns. Of course you can offer to do the same when they are away.

Keep garages and sheds locked so that the thief cannot use your tools and ladders to help them break into your home, or a neighbours.

Pay particular attention in the summer months when there is more a tendency to leave things open.

Think about taking photos of your valuable items. This may be helpful for items not suitable for postcode marking.

(Free ultra-violet Security Marker Pens still available from Church).

Not all burglars break into homes - some will try to trick or con their way in. They are known as bogus callers and will pretend to be on official business from respectable concerns such as the Utility Companies - Gas, Electricity , Water or the Council. They may claim to be tradesmen or workmen calling to carry out urgent repairs. They may even claim to be Police Officers.

Genuine callers should carry an identification card, preferably displaying their photograph. Do check this carefully.

If you are still not satisfied, do not let them in. Ask the caller to come back later and arrange for a friend or neighbour to be present on their return. Treat every stranger with caution. If you are still worried dial 999 immediately and ask for the Police.
