Thunderclap! A flash mob on social media! www.thunderclap.it/projects/15683-robin-hood-tickets-on-sale
REPORT by Matt Streuli, Vice-Chairman & Publicity Officer
The 2013-2014 season for our club was fantastic. In 2013 we
performed 3 shows, the Adults showed off their Romeo and Juliet, the award
winning youngsters performed Alice in Wonderland at the Woking Drama Festival
and we had pantomime.
We've been lucky enough to perform four shows this year:
Cinderella at the start of the year, and then our two summer shows; a Midsummer
night's dream by our our youth team, and then our first Farce in Two Weddings
and a conference. Our teenagers are finishing the year with a great play called
Care at the Woking Drama Festival.
Sandra and myself are immensely proud of our club. Most
amdram clubs and even theatre schools struggle to perform 2 shows a year and
yet we are doing 4 shows giving everyone different chances in the limelight.
Iver Heath is an diverse community: in Wood Lane there are
mansions worth over £2 million and yet there are people living in poverty on
benefits just 10 minutes walk away. At IHDC, everyone is equal and it is
fantastic to see children & adults from across the spectrum of wealth,
culture, skillset and ability working together over the past 66 years HOWEVER
we need your help in a BIG way if we are to continue.
Earlier this year the charity which runs the village hall
announced they would be increasing our rates. We do still have good rates but
our weekly hall rent has almost doubled. I have negotiated with the hall and
they have told me that they believe all hirers should pay roughly the same and
I of course argued that not-for-profit community groups like us or the Toddlers
and Mums club should pay less compared to a business. Either way, we need to raise
more money otherwise we will fall hundreds of pounds short of our rent. I am
sure those of you who read our website or facebook every few weeks will be
aware of this.
So, I can announce that we will be increasing the membership
fees for adults aged 16 and above to £3 per week. Under 16s will remain at £2.
We are hoping that an extra pound a week will not impact to heavily on our
members but will generate a good portion of the money needed to cover the hike.
This goes into effect from NEXT WEEK (Wed 10th).
We will also be increasing panto tickets from £8 for adults,
£5 for Concessions and £22 for families up to £9 for adults, £6 for concessions
and £25 for families. Considering we have not increased ticket prices for
several years and that we are considerably cheaper than our nearest panto
competition (Richings Players I believe charged £14 per adult last year) we
hope this small increase will not impact on our audience too much. However it
means we need you MORE THAN EVER to convince your friends, family, work
colleagues and neighbours that we are worth that price. I think the shows we
put on here are worth a lot more than that but I need you all to promote it.
Last year we sold 550 tickets, I need you to tweet, facebook, email and leaflet
so we reach that target again.
We are looking into grants from Buckinghamshire Community
Fund, which Carol is applying too, and Sandra Corcorcan our chairman and local
Parish Councillor Louisa Sullivan are helping Aidan Parr apply to the Iver
Parish Council grant. I am also asking Pinewood Studios for a donation although
they have been worried about how that might look over the past few years in
relation to Project Pinewood.
We cannot rely on grants, there is no guarantee we will get
them which is why I need your help in fundraising.
Emily Ashraf’s mum, Alison, is running the Maidenhead
Marathon and has announced she is fundraising for St Margret’s Church and our
drama club. She is here tonight with her sponsor form so please if you can
donate. The church has supported us for a long time as Reg will confirm so its
great to support them at the same time.
I am arranging a fundraising Quiz Night on Saturday 4th
October starting at 6pm. Bring your friends and family. Bring your own picnic
and drinks. Under 16s must bring their parents/carers. The prizes will be worth
it! Just RSVP and invite your friends on our facebook page.
Finally three quick points two of which are the easiest way
of fundraising I’ve ever heard of.
First, I am sure many of you shop online with very.co.uk or
Next, eBay and M&S. Well if you go via the IHDC EasyFundraising page then
we get the cashback. It doesn’t cost you anything extra so please for your next
tesco shop or with xmas coming up buy via our website.
Number 2 – EasySearch, everytime you search using our search
engine we get a couple of pence. It doesn’t sound alot but if everyone here
used our search engine instead of Google... well we could hit £10 a week
easily... £10 doesnt sound like alot but its money we don’t have.
And finally I am always looking for cheap but effective ways
to promote our panto. Social media is key and it is free. But it doesn’t work
if you don’t share statuses or retweet. So we’ve found a idea called
THUNDERCLAP. Think of it as an "online flash mob." When you click
join and support, you and others will share the same pre-determinded message at
the same time, spreading an idea through Facebook and Twitter. It takes 10
seconds and will only send this one message. Nothing more. This morning we had
25 people sign up. We need you to sign up and get us to 50.
In summary,
.
If we all do these little things, donate things we can like
a tin of paint or maybe do a cake sale, if we all pull together then we can
keep membership low, keep ticket prices reasonable and still be the best.
Thank you all for your hard work and as we enter year 66 I want our motto to be:– be the best we can be.
Thank you all for your hard work and as we enter year 66 I want our motto to be:– be the best we can be.

The Youth show is progressing very nicely and Terry ran a workshop with them to help them project and act with their voices - which is harder than it sounds - and they are doing really well at learning their lines.
Dot Cosgrove, Director of the Adult show, has now cast the play and is even adjusting the script to make sure everyone is involved. Feedback from the first full rehearsal was excellent with people enjoying having different and new input. Make Up and Hair trials will start soon, run by Dot and Claire, whilst Dot is asking main cast to bring any costume suggestions they have/own already - especially black shirts and suits.
The poster for the adult play is below but the youngsters will be coming soon - keep an eye on Facebook!

Tickets go on sale later this month (keep an eye on Facebook for more) at £5.00 each (under 5s go free). The adult's show is rated 'PG'. The adult humour is similar to Shrek and whilst 'rude' in places it is unlikely that younger viewers will get all the jokes ;)
EXTRA REHEARSAL - on Sunday 22nd June at Iver Heath Hall. Youth show, 2pm-4pm. Adults 4pm to 7:45pm. Thanks
The Youth show is progressing very nicely and Terry ran a workshop with them to help them project and act with their voices - which is harder than it sounds - and they are doing really well at learning their lines.
Dot Cosgrove, Director of the Adult show, has now cast the play and is even adjusting the script to make sure everyone is involved. Feedback from the first full rehearsal was excellent with people enjoying having different and new input. Make Up and Hair trials will start soon, run by Dot and Claire, whilst Dot is asking main cast to bring any costume suggestions they have/own already - especially black shirts and suits.
The poster for the adult play is below but the youngsters will be coming soon - keep an eye on Facebook!
