The tales of Ratty, Mole, Badger and the incorrigible, preposterous Toad have been delighting us for generations. When Mole abandons his spring-cleaning for the enchanting world of the riverbank he begins an adventure that leads to magnificent Toad Hall, to the open road, to the perilous Wild Wood – and finally to battle!Alan Bennett’s version of the classic fantasy tale is true to the original, yet written with distinctive Bennett flair.

It is with much regret that we are forced once again to cancel the Quiz Night scheduled for this Saturday, 16 March. Unfortunately the few confirmed bookings that we had taken were not sufficient to make this event economically viable and it wouldn’t have been much fun for the participants either. Apologies to any of you who were planning to support this event and were looking forward to it. Tim will keep the questions on the back burner in the hope that we can find another opportunity to use them in the not too distant future.

Right. Let’s try that again.
Wickham Theatre Centre, Corkscrew Hill, West Wickham. I’m sure you can Google the postcode if you feel the need.
A Drama quiz, full of questions and rounds on all those subjects we’re supposed to actually know something about. Theatre, plays, films, TV shows, that kind of thing.
The prizes will be as exciting as they usually are on these occasions; but it’s more about the insufferably smug look you’re allowed to walk around with for a while.
£8.00 a head. Come in a group or not, we’re not fussed.
Tables of six. Or some other number.

BTG GUILD QUIZ POSTPONED DUE TO CRAPPY WEATHER FORECAST!
Wickham Theatre Centre isn’t that easy to get into on a balmy summer afternoon, so the powers-that-be have decided in view of the secondhand Siberian weather due for tomorrow, it’s safer to make the decision now.
SATURDAY 16th MARCH IS THE NEW DATE.

(CAPS LOCK ON. GOOD. RIGHT.)
TIME FOR THE ANNUAL B.T.G. DRAMA QUIZ !!!
Ok, stop shouting now. Saturday 19th January, a week and a half from now. Wickham Theatre Centre, Corkscrew Hill, West Wickham. 7.30 for 8.00 kick-off.
Come along and embarrass yourselves on a topic that we’re really supposed to know something about. Theatre, TV, Film, etc, etc, Drama basically, with nothing at all about History, Geography or Cake. Or cats.
Book a table as a team; come with mates; if you haven’t got any, come on your own.
020 8658 4001.
Tell people.
£8.00 a head, negligible prizes, but the satisfaction of not coming plumb last, priceless.
