It was a bright Saturday afternoon and ROS members, dressed in red and black, entertained the crowds with numbers from our hit show, ROS Presents Musical Magic in support of the Ruislip Manor Fun Day.  Crowds stood and listened to such numbers as Razzle Dazzle and You’ll Never Walk Alone.  Despite a hiccup when power to our keyboard failed, the members carried on singing until power was restored.  We look forward to performing again soon.

Those who joined us for the annual ROS Beetle Drive on 17th September had a wonderful time.  For those who have never played it is a fast moving  entertaining game.  It was an exciting and tense evening particularly at the end of the evening when it was announced there was a tie for first place and the winner would be decided by a “Beetle Off”.  The eventual winner was Beckie Miles with a score of 287 points.

StageWorks Summer School, comprising 26 boys and 30 girls aged between 8 and 18, will perform an 80 minute extract from Oklahoma!,  after just seven days of workshops and rehearsals. The performances are on 30th July at Winston Churchill Theatre, Pinn Way, Ruislip, at 2.30pm and 5.00pm. Tickets are only £5.00 and can be ordered from the box office on 07990 885956.
