First things first, thank you.
Thank you to all of you who bought tickets to put ‘bums on seats’. Each and every one of you, by doing so, played your part in raising money for local groups and charities, who’s donation from us is extremely helpful to keep these groups up and running.
Thank you to everyone who came and donated money in the buckets, this year we raised a lot of money by doing this, which of course means more profit to give away.
Thank you to everyone who told others about our little show, as by doing so we were able to sell this year over 4000 tickets!
And finally, thank you to every single person who volunteered to help out with the running of the pantomime this year. Whether that be by selling confectionary, donating much needed equipment, to those who helped out backstage. Without you, and of course, the members of the Monday Night Group, the show would not have happened.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears has been a monster of a show, that took its toll on everybody involved, however as the team we are, we all knuckle down and work hard to put on these shows for you all to enjoy, and to make the all important money to give away.
2014’s production of Humpty Dumpty was able to raise over £21,000 that we gave away to 79 groups. We believe we have raised more this year, and there will be an update here on the website (www.mondaynightgroup.org) when we have a final figure.
Applications for donations are now open, so if you are a local group or charity and think we might be able to help, please follow this link- Donations.
The date for our presentation evening is yet to be confirmed, but is usually around April/ May time, where we will be able to hand over the cheques to the happy groups personally.
Next year is already in planning, and there is much to do. Organising it has already started ready for our special 50th Anniversary production of Cinderella. Tickets available from early 2015. We hope to see you all again there.
Once again, thank you, and hope to see some of you at our presentation evening, if not, see you all again next year!
Alex, MNG.
