Pop In Performer Award 17th September 2015…
Tonight we presented the most Improved Performer Award, after a talk to express that everyone's contribution is greatly valued especially when all the shows raise much needed funds for worthy causes.
The 2015 Most Improved Performer Award went to Aimee Rowe who has been with the group for some time, its been very rewarding to witness her blossom and see her confidence and ability improve a great deal in this time.
Well done Aimee and well done, to all our Young Performers.

11th October 2017
Last night I presented the Pamela Hoare Award for most improved performer, I always really consider very carefully who will be given this Award.
This year it was presented to a young boy who has been part of the group since he was about 5 years old, during this time he has undergone various surgical procedures on his lip and face, he has been through a lot but he has always enjoyed coming along to the group and has always tried so hard over the years with his speech and singing.
In the summer we staged Way Out West and he really excelled in his role as Dusty Slim.
There is a great lesson here for us all we just need to keep going and sometimes against all the odds you can still become really great at things if you want to be.
Congratulations to Jordan Hughes the 2017 winner, well done I’m really proud of you!
