On the 5 March 1974 Ken Andrews suggested to the committee a patronage scheme whereby people would pay a fixed amount and get tickets to all the shows. The first few patrons were made Vice Presidents at a cost of £10 each. Now we have over 1000 patrons who still pay only £16 a year, but are no longer made VP's of the society.

In addition to all 3 of our public shows our patrons also receive tickets to an exclusive patrons evening + a christmas carol concert.

The next patrons evening of this kind will take place on the 3rd & 4th April and this year features 3 one act plays as detailed below. The evening as-ever will include free cheese and wine in the interval.
