OUTWOOD:
SUPER TROUPERS:

- Mel Ashton 12th February, 2003)
I was so delighted to meet Ken Grace and his team last week and talk to
him about the excellent entertainment the group has given to many
audiences over the last 20 years. This Outwood group has an average age of
more than 70, and performs at fundraising functions all over the district,
at celebration evenings, in hospitals and is popular wherever the older
generation gathers. Its most recent performance was at Lee Moor Club,
where local resident Nancy Easter celebrated her 80th birthday. The
group’s performance ranges from the musicals of the 30s and 40s through
wartime Britain to modern day, always dressed in the appropriate costumes
and often with a funny routine. It was a privilege to watch them rehearse
and I have to say, if given the opportunity, I would have been up there
with them doing my impression of someone who has the tone of a seal and
two left feet. The group relies on donations and fundraising to buy
costumes, and only charges a nominal fee for the cost of travel. If you
haven’t seen the group then I can highly recommend it. If you want to
book the group then just give Ken a call on 01924 259194.

FAME AT LAST:
Outwood Community Video was invited to do some filming at the Mining
Museum along with the BBC1 Inside Out programme. Their film was shown
on BBC1 on January 6, 2002.
Anyone interested in joining the club or
just going along to see what happens is invited to a meeting in the
Memorial Hall on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm.
