Unfortunately, due to the fact that Craig has been unwell today,we have had to take the decision to cancel the cheese & wine section of tomorrow nights get together. The Quiz will still go ahead starting at 8.15pm as previously arranged but as the idea was to fundraise,the cost will revert to £2.50 per person/£10 per team,as it has been in previous quizzes. (I understand there will be prizes!).
From a health and safety point of view we dont feel comfortable with Craig presenting food as it seems he has had some sort of virus which we would hate to be passed on to others. If he is not well enough to come to host the quiz Allen will take over.
We will do our best to re-schedule the cheese & wine tasting for another evening in the near future.
Apologies for the change of plans but please come along to the Quiz and have a great evening.
Regards
Debbie
Ammendment to:

Time is ticking: We need your help!
Exmouth Musical Theatre Company is urgently looking for a chess competition clock for its forthcoming production of Chess.
Director, David Youll said: “We really need a clock for our production of Chess in May and we’re hoping someone will be able to let us borrow one. We’re appealing to the local chess clubs and to everyone in Exmouth – we really need your help!”
Rehearsals for Chess are now in full swing, but with only a few weeks to go, time is running out to find one of the elusive chess clocks!
The musical, from the composers of the hit show Mamma Mia, follows the Cold War rivalry of two chess champions - one American, one Russian - as they vie for the world championship and a woman's heart. Florence, the assistant to American champion Freddie Trumper, and the Russian Anatoly embark on a love affair that packs in great vocals and lots of emotion.
Chess includes the popular songs ‘I Know Him So Well’ and ‘One Night In Bangkok’. Music is by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus (formerly of ABBA), with lyrics by Sir Tim Rice. The show is Directed by David Youll and Lynne Caygill is the Musical Director.
Chess will be performed by Exmouth Musical Theatre Company from Wednesday 27th May to Saturday 30th May (Wednesday to Friday at 7.30pm and Saturday at 7.00pm, with matinee performances on the Thursday and Saturday at 2.30pm).

 This is the review by the National Operatic and Dramatic Association, for our 2008 performance; 'NO SONG UNSONG':
Exmouth Pavillion | November | Director/Choreographer: Debbie Butler | MD: Lynne Caygill
After a successful summer production, hotly on its heels came the now essential find boosting musical evening. A perfect showcase for the equally talented members of the company who missed out on principal roles previously. As the title suggests, songs from a varied collection of well known musicals were performed, older favourites in act one, culminating in some of the most stirring work of the evening., in act two's modern segment. First night nerves contributed to a tepid start, quickly warming to positively hot, hot, hot, with energetic, concientious movement and memorable vocals, which included an unaccompanied version of 'I Dreamed a Dream' performed by the whole company, its harmonic accuracy was congratulatory achievement and pure joy to hear. With elegance, the company drifted into the excellent staging, devised to suit the mood and genre of the music, none appearing to seem anything other than 'at home'. A thoroughly entertaining evening, much to the audience's enjoyment.
