It's getting close for the annual New-Werri-Thorpe Gang Show which has been held every year since 1997. Each year it's been held at the college in Glinton and is always a sell-out.

The show is performed infront of averge audiences of 1,000 people each year spread over 4 perfomances and over the past 3 years that I've been going has always been great fun.

It's amazing the confidence that the cast members have (remember that the cast includes cubs and brownies who may only be 8 years old, right the way through scouts and guides to some of the leaders). The number of people of the stage at the finale has to be seen to be believed, and it's all put on with the main rehearsals starting in January each year, that about 3 months that the cast have to put together the show.
