Having been one of the adjudicators for the recent Dorset Young Farmers drama competition, I was very impressed by the talent shown by so many of the performers.

I thought you might like to know that Yeovil Amateur Operatic Society (YAOS), to which I belong, is looking to recruit new young members to take part in its production of Sandy Wilson’s 1920s musical “The Boy Friend” at the Octagon Theatre, Yeovil in October 2010.  Let me stress that you do not need to be an experienced singer or actor – enthusiasm and a willingness to learn from our friendly production director, Sheila Driver are all that is needed.

MARSHWOOD YFC WIN THROUGH TO NATIONAL FINAL PDF Print E-mail
Written by office   
Wednesday, 31 March 2010

Marshwood Vale YFC created a bit of history on Saturday afternoon in Weston-super-Mare when they won the South of England semi-final of the National drama competition, to be the first club from Dorset to reach the National Final in over 30 years. Marshwood Vale are the second smallest Young Farmers' club in Dorset having only 25 members with 15 of them in the cast.


Every year the National Federation of Young Farmers Clubs holds an entertainment contest and this year the brief was to produce a play. After much debate the club decided to present “Guess who's coming to tea?” by Sandy Tayler, produced by Kevin Goodfellow and set in Bakewell's cake factory. The leading character is Mr. Spratt, a bossy foreman played by Richard Rowe, currently the club chairman. The factory is making a cake for the Queen and when Spike, a 'punk' (Robin Goodfellow) loses an earring, the cast fear that it is in the special cake. They sneak back after hours to make a replacement cake and discover that Mr. Bakewell (Stuart Curtis) is having an affair with his attractive secretary (Laura Foot), with the humorous consequences you would expect from the situation. Another love interest was well portrayed between Sydney (Ali Hill) and Lettuce (Rosie Betherton), while Bradley Bowman gave a convincing performance as a stuttering Kevin on the production line.
