Theatre Visits
Coordinators:
John Baggaley – email by clicking the name
Venue
The theatre visits planning meeting takes place on the second Friday afternoon of the month from 2:00pm to around 3:00pm at the Community Hall, Leyland Methodist Church, 9 Turpin Green Lane, Leyland, PR25 3HA
Background
The group aims to visit a show each month. We meet twice a month: once to visit our chosen show and once for a group meeting (see calendar for venue) to choose a show, discuss previous outings, pay for and distribute tickets and make transport arrangements.
We also operate a buddy system. A member with internet access will buddy up with one without. They telephone to keep them up to date and print information for them if needed.
Choice of Plays
Members bring suggestions to our monthly meetings of shows we might like to visit. One is chosen for each month by popular vote. We consider shows within a 30-mile radius.
Payment
Payments can be made at our theatre group meetings or at the monthly meeting. Payment by cheque is preferred, with separate cheques for each show you wish to attend. Please make cheques payable to Leyland U3A and write the name of the show on the back of the cheque. We usually have to pay for shows at least one month in advance (2 months for Bolton Octagon). Thank you.
Regarding our Waiting List, tickets do become available at the last minute due to cancellation with plans changing, appointments etc. These may be advertised on the Leyland u3a Facebook page. If tickets are sold out, put your name on a waiting list & you will be contacted if any become available.
