COVID-19
In light of the current advice regarding the current COVID-19 outbreak all Bolsover Drama Group activities have been suspended for the foreseeable future.
This includes rehearsals for the adult and youth sections and the One Night of Jukebox performance on Saturday 28th March.
The committee will review the situation as it progresses and will provide updates to members via email and our Facebook group as necessary.
I am sure you are as disappointed as we are, but the safety and wellbeing of our members and audience has to be our primary concern.
We will look to reschedule our planned events in the coming months.
We look forward to seeing you all again once the situation has improved.
