Minutes of meeting held Sunday 19thFeb. 2012 at 2.00pm The Lazy Lounge.

Present: Richard, Mark, Dee, Janet, Susan and Marion.

Mikado:

Chorus work is coming along well.

The dates for performances at Artworks, previously set for July, give an extremely long rehearsal time and leave too short a time for rehearsals for the end of year programme.

It was suggested that as Art works theatre is unavailable in May and June, we look at touring and performing in a number of venues.

This could be done with minimal costume changes and very simple staging.

Marion to contact Palm Beach Hall to find out availability.

Mark to contact Rocky Bay.

Dee to contact Onetangi.

Suggested dates, June1^st, 2^nd, 7^th, 8th ending at Artworks 15^th, 16th June.

Mark to contact Alan Knight re Directing.
