Arts Festival at The Harlequin
We recently wrote to all members advising them that BRBAC have been invited to hold an Arts Festival at the Harlequin Theatre in Redhill in the Autumn of 2012.This is to mark the re-opening of the theatre following refurbishment (costing £1.4m) by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council.
The stage would be made available free of charge for performances and large rooms in the theatre complex for static displays. This could therefore be an excellent occasion for all our members to demonstrate what they can do
Groups have been asked for initial suggestions on what they could contribute to such a festival and have been invited to provide BRBAC with their preliminary ideas by 23rd November 2011.After that, we will collate the proposals and develop options.
Please reply to Rod McFarlane, email: randm.mcfarlane@virginmedia.com or post: 19, High View, Cheam, Sutton , SM2 7DZ . If there is sufficient interest, we would aim to call a meeting of all BRBAC members at the Harlequin Theatre in January.
This is a most exciting opportunity for the Arts Council and its members and we look forward to hearing from you.
