The TATS 2023 AGM took place on Monday 4th December at Turvey Village Hall at 1930.
A great time was had by all and following the formal side of the meeting a very good attendance enjoyed mulled wine, soft drinks, mince pies and off course the obligatory catch up conversations.
A special mention to Joint Chairman Rosemary Gentry, who after many years of sterling service stood down from the new Committee and in recognition of her significant contributions to the society over the years, was awarded an honorary membership.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our brilliant audiences over the year and hope to see you all again for our events in 2024.
We are still planning our programme ….but for a sneaky peak at what’s planned so far click on 2024 below.
So the curtain comes down on another fabulous TATS Musical.
Me and My Girl delighted sell out audiences from 22nd November to 25th November and showed once again what a talented group of actors, directors and support team TATS Possess.
Many thanks to all involved and especially Director Jan Clemens and assistant Michelle Swales for bringing such fun and professionalism to the amateur stage here in Turvey.

The TATS 2022 AGM, took place on Monday 5th December, 730pm in Turvey Village Hall.
Over 30 people attended (including most of the Oklahoma newcomers), and we even needed a vote as there were so many volunteers to the Committee.
The formal elements were then followed with a very enjoyable social event including mulled wine and mince pies.
We even signed up some new members.
A great success and here’s to 2023.

November 2022
Tickets being sold out weeks before the first performance give some idea of the audience anticipation for this show and they weren’t disappointed!
Superbly directed by Jan Clemens and brilliantly acted by a large cast, many new to the TATS stage, the audiences were enthralled by the set and high standards of both acting and singing, fabulously supported by the live band and professional sound and lighting.
As usual there are also many unsung heroes behind the scenes of these productions so a massive thank you from all at TATS for all help received to enable this show to be a great success.

TATS cast the show in late June and immediately started rehearsals.
The picture to the left shows us setting the first scene, with Rosemary Gentry as Aunt Eller and Spencer Barlow as Curly.
We were thrilled to welcome some new faces to the TATS stage and we think we can promise our audiences a superb evening’s entertainment come November.
Congratulations to all our successful cast.
