Invitation to ReXpo
Dear members and friends of Reps
We have decided to stage a morning of information and interaction, to allow all our members – and people who are interested in possibly becoming members – to gain a great deal of both from the people in charge of The Repertory Players and Reps Theatre.
So we are staging what we call ReXpo, on the morning of Saturday May 19. This will run in the Reps Theatre foyer from 9am to 1pm and will feature desks at which each of the operational areas of Reps will be represented. The idea is for visitors to wander around and chat to the people at the desks, finding out more about what is going on in and around Reps, either just to be better informed or with a view to becoming more involved. There will also be a desk at which our society secretary will be updating information for our database.
The purpose of this mail, therefore, is to extend an invitation to members of The Repertory Players and people on our mailing list but who are not members to join us and take advantage of this event to become better informed.
The Avondale Scouts will be present and will (at the coffee bar) be selling teas, coffees, soft drinks, cakes and other items - and don’t forget that their sales help them in their fundraising activities!
The members’ bar will be open as usual just before lunchtime and after 12.30pm, the Saturday lunches provided by Adrienne’s Restaurant will be on sale on the Tada Terrace … and we invite members and friends to stay on and enjoy lunch and the company of the other people coming down.
A fun draw will be taking place and members will be entered by filling in of a card with their numbers on them … with some fun prizes that include vouchers from some lovely restaurants and hotels.
Please accept this invitation to join us at ReXpo … it should be interesting and informative and will be of value to everyone – whether someone actively involved, a parent of a Repteen or Preps member, a theatre goer, a social member or someone just keen on knowing something more about Reps.
See you at ReXpo!
