Dear Thesps,

Message from Dave Page

Joe Wilkes, a remarkably talented and imaginative individual, left an indelible mark on our productions over the years, breathing life into the stage with his evocative paintings. Beyond his artistic contributions, Joe was a truly lovely person, and his absence will be keenly felt.

In a gesture of sincere condolences, flowers and a sympathy card were sent to his wife, Sue, on behalf of the Hartpury Drama Group. Our thoughts are with her during this difficult time, and we express our deepest sympathies for the loss of such a remarkable and cherished long-time member of our Group.

Chairperson HDG

Message from Gill Rigler:

Dear all,

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the warm and caring sentiments I've received, along with the thoughtful Get Well Soon card.
Your kindness has truly been a source of comfort during this time.
I'm pleased to share that I'm on the road to recovery and look forward to returning to full strength soon; I’m looking forward to treading the boards again, in 2024.

Thank you again for your well-wishes and support.

Wishing you all a joyful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Best regards,

Gill Rigler

Message from Mike Rowe:

Dear Hartpury Drama Group Committee and all Members,

I wanted to inform you that I have recently stepped down from my role in managing the HDG webpage, hartpurydramagroup.org. Creating and maintaining the website has been a fulfilling journey, and it has been a pleasure to contribute over the years. However, I believe it is time to pass the reins to someone with fresh perspectives.
I am delighted to introduce Giles Lantos, who has taken over the responsibility. Giles has already made significant improvements, and though the website is still a work in progress, I am confident it will be a valuable asset to HDG upon completion. I encourage you to visit the site and explore the updates he has implemented.

Sarah and I extend our best wishes for the continued success of HDG in the future. While we will be stepping back from our previous roles, we hope to stay informed about the group's activities.
We would also like to express our gratitude for the lovely card and bottle of sparkling Champagne that Angie delivered on behalf of the Group. Your thoughtfulness is truly appreciated.

Wishing you all a joyful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Warm regards,

Mike and Sarah Rowe

Happy New Year!
