Michael Smith is digitalising many of the plays and pantomimes which have been performed over the past decades. This will preserve them and stop the gradual loss of quality which the existing recordings are experiencing. Scroll down this page to see what has been achieved so far.

The drama group was formed in 1981 our first production being the Happiest Days Of Your Life. Since then we have presented a play in the autumn every year, with the occasional production in church of a more religious nature. All the members of the group have strong associations with the church with occasional help from outside. Most of the members of the group are associated with the Trinity Pantomime Society formed in 1964.

If anybody has got any other plays or pantos not listed he would be grateful for them so that they might be converted as well. The reason this was started was because the colour starts to fade the longer you leave a videotape. Also, one video actually stopped working as it was playing as it was so old! Luckily it started working again after a few more tries.
