Congratulations

That was a very enjoyable Party, an excellent Cabaret, an over-the-top pantomime and of course the Awards.

Congratulations to the winners:

1 The Muriel Cobb Cup for the play of the year was won by our Presidents with TIME AND LOVE

Runner up: Juliana Lisk’s TOY STOREY

2 The John Grange’s Cup for Comedy was won by John Hill, with HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL and he was also runner up with CHASING BECKETT

3 The Actor of the year award went to Phil Philmar, with Johnny Hansler as Runner-up

and

4 The Actress of the Year award went to Sophie Steel, with Helen Oakleigh as runner up.

Then there were two unscheduled awards of highly drinkable wine (a) to our outgoing chair: John Morrison and (b) to our outgoing Programme Secretary Peter Thompson (that’s me).  Both of us said what great pleasure we had derived from the activities of Player-Playwrights and that we would continue to attend and give our support to Ninaz Khodaiji and Mary Conway, who were elected to the chair at the AGM.

Thank you  very much and a Merry Christmas to you all.

Peter Thompson
