Sub-Committee on Theatre Visits – Decision The Sub-Committee on Theatre Visits decided at a meeting on 30 May not to organize a club theatre visit this fall because the steadily declining interest of members in such visits does not justify the work involved. Perhaps members prefer to organize their own excursions to the excellent and reasonably priced Drayton Entertainment shows the committee has been favouring. Perhaps two outings a year is one too many or interest will be revived if the committee organizes an excursion next spring to a show produced by some other theatre group. This it will consider when theatre companies announce their 2018 productions.
