Past Events

Skittles at the Haycutter

A very enjoyable evening was had by all at the Haycutter in April playing skittles, it was one of our most popular social evenings and we packed out the private room.  The winner of the tournament was Keith Harper, so well done to Keith!  After many rounds of skittles and fabulous meal, it was agreed that we shall make the skittles evening an annual event!

Christmas Party 2008

Nicky surpassed herself again by throwing an amazing Fairytale-themed Christmas party.  A team of helpers transformed the Hut into a magical fairyland complete with enchanted fountain, the Ugly Duckling’s pond and Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage – it was a vision to behold!

We saw some exotic costumes as well, most memorably the Snow Queen and the most terrifying Snowman I think any of us has ever seen!  Peter Pan flew in, Snow White’s Evil Stepmother corrupted one of the Dwarves for the evening, and the Ugly Stepsisters also put in an appearance.

You can see more photos on our Facebook page, but here are a few to whet your appetite...

2008 Winners

And we had some fantastic cabaret performances to entertain us between courses….

Keith and Gabi got us off to a fine start with their performance of Let’s Face The Music and Dance.

Then Gabi swallowed her nerves and braved the stage again when she and Christine gave a fantastic performance of Loathing from Wicked.

Against their better judgement Ellie, Angela, Nicky H and Louise performed a hilarious rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody – curry style!

Gee and Debs made us all giggle with their version of French and Saunders’ ballerina sketch.

And then Jay rounded off proceedings with his ever-changing ATG Anthem which had a couple of new verses written especially for the evening and had everyone singing along.

All in all it was another brilliant evening, and a celebration of the productions of the past two years, and 40 years of ATG.  We’re all looking forward to the 2010 Awards!
