THE PLAY




Please note that the TICKETS for the play 'Losing the Plot' on October 13th at 1.00 p.m. are now available.

Admission will be by ticket only. Tickets do not need to be paid for in advance (the theatre company will be taking up a collection at the end of the performance)


There are only 100 tickets, we're trying to ensure that plot-holders get priority, then the rest can go to others who've supported the society this year (local residents, the judges from the Show, our local councillors, etc.)

You can get yours from any Committee member or by calling Margaret on 01204 844727 or emailing us at harperslaneallotmentssociety@yahoo.co.uk

Don't miss out!
