At end the of our final performance of Potted Shakespeare we had a surprise appearance by Mike Smith, our NODA representative, to present our 2023 award winners with their certificates:
This included the NODA London District 2 Flame award, with the following citation:
“Beaufort Players set a fine example to the world of amateur theatre, and fully deserve to be recognised for their continued ability to raise the standard of excellence. The encouragement given to its members to expand their horizons is to be applauded. The membership contribute so much to the success of their productions — from original script writing, set design and physical construction to actual performance. Audiences are provided with both exciting and stimulating experiences through Beaufort’s very many varied performances.”
