VILLAGE SHOW
The WCDS stand at the West Chiltington Village Show on Saturday 13 July was a great success. We had lots of helpers, attired an an assortment of costumes to celebrate the timeline of the society's 75 year history. Visitors showed lots of interest in our society, and we trust that some of those to whom we chatted will make further contact with us. You can email us at membership@wcds.co.uk
One little girl went away very happy having won Paddington Bear in our Dr Who treasure hunt competition.
MAY PLAY
Although it was never intended to video the play, Rob took some clips and stills which he has assembled into a video memory. It is with the photographs from our production of DARK LUCY in our Archive pages at Archive 2024.
