The LPP B B Q / Goodbye Adrian

The Leeson Park Players Annual BBQ on the 16th of June! It's on Bray Head kindly hosted by Roger and Maud (again). If you haven't been before - well, shame on you. All members welcome. Bring something to throw on the barbie (food wise) and maybe a salad/bread/dessert/drink item to share. For details of time and place and how to get there contact Charles - crichardsAToceanfreeDOTnet. Obviously you need to do the @ and . thing.

This will also be the official GoodByeAdrian get together which, to reflect the seriousness and mournful nature of the occasion, will change location and go on into the wee small hours.
Adrian has been a LPP'er for 10 years and will be sorely missed both on stage and off. I remember him as a young lad nervously approaching me (I was but a child myself) and asking where he should stand to sell programmes and tea tickets. He took the balcony option and did an excellent job, his accountancy training having well equiped him to give change of a fiver. Little did I know then what a Force he would be within the Players. Since joining he has been involved in practically every play, both on and off stage, acting, directing, a bit of painting, climbing the first couple of rungs on a ladder occasionally; he's even an honorary Techie - was it lights? sound? I can't remember but what I do know is this. He will be missed by all of us.

I'm a bit teary now... accolades for the man in the comments please.
