THEATRE TRIPS
“Romeo & Juliet” Ballet – Derngate
Theatre, Northampton, February 15th. Matinee. Please pay the cost of the
coach (£6 per person) when you collect your tickets which are here today for
you. The bus will leave the Bus Station by the Market Hall at 1.00pm
“Me and my Girl” – Kilworth House Theatre,
17th June matinee. Please pay for your tickets (£22 per person) by the 9th
February at the latest as we have to pay the Theatre for them very shortly
after that date.
PS - DON’T FORGET THAT THE COACHES LEAVE AT 6.OOPM TONIGHT FOR “42ND STREET"
AT THE LEICESTER ‘CURVE’ THEATRE.
THEATRE GOERS PLEASE NOTE : Although in the past we have accepted bookings
for theatre trips by listing names only, with payment by a given date, we
feel we cannot use this system any longer. Unfortunately it has greatly
increased our workload, since it has meant that we have to spend a number of
hours ‘phoning, at least once, those who have not paid for their tickets by
the requested date, and this frequently happens again when the coach fare is
due.
We do appreciate that members might think there is no urgency in securing
tickets in January for a show (say) in December, but please understand that
in order to book seats in a prime position, at a vastly reduced group price,
we have to reserve and pay for the tickets as soon as booking opens –
sometimes as far as a year ahead.
We shall now work on a ‘payment on booking’ system, and this one payment
will cover both your theatre ticket and the coach fare. As often as possible
we will announce the name and date of new shows in the Newsletter a month
before we accept bookings to remind you to bring either cash or your cheque
book. For instance, at the meeting on 9th February we shall be advertising
and taking bookings for “Twelfth Night” at Tolethorpe Hall Theatre in the
evening of July 13th.
Sorry about these alterations, but as you know it is only what theatre
box-offices have always done.
