We're rich(er)...

Y'know, putting on a show like Sunshine on Leith is not cheap. There's the licence, hire of the venue, costumes, lighting, sound, beer(!) and other assorted items. Some of that can be covered by ticket sales and sponsorship, but the rest of it has to come via fundraising.

To that end, towards the end of November Ad-Lib Theatre Arts ran held a pub quiz at the Abbotsford in Perth. There was singing, dancing, drinking and quizzing. There were prizes too:

First place prize was 4 tickets to Sunshine on Leith
Second place prize was 4 bottles of wine
Last place prize was 4 giant tubes of Smarties!

There was also a raffle.

As a result of all the activity on the night the amazing sum of £723 was raised. Wow!!

Of course, it wouldn't have worked without a lot of help. So thanks go to the following:

  • Chic and the staff at The Abbotsford
  • Scott Reeves, Kelly, Alice & Tom, Kyle, Rachel, Sharon and Gill for entertaining us with music and song (not forgetting Pat and her tambourine)
  • Vicky Glennie for organising the event
  • Gill, Alice, Sharon and Steven for helping out on the night

Finally a HUGE thank you to everyone who donated raffle prizes and who took part in the quiz. Everyone had a fantastic evening.
