S WE NEAR the end of our rehearsal schedule., we anticipate with pleasure bringing this David Tristram play to our audiences. The plot of the play, with its echoes of “Hamlet”, concerns Edward, an aspiring writer who is trying, and failing, to recover from the death of his wife, Ruby. But can we ever shake off the Past? Was Ruby’s death all it seemed or is there cause to revenge “a foul and most unnatural murder”? The play is a six-hander, and is challenging for those in the cast-not least in learning all the lines! Each of the disparate characters is challenging to portray- but that’s what it’s all about. It’s been a bit of a bumpy ride along the way with change of director and unforeseen last minute change of cast - but the MTTG team always pulls together. All the effort is worthwhile if our audiences come to support us and enjoy the play. PLEASE COME ALONG TO SEE THE PLAY - YOU WILL BE MOST WELCOME. If you are a newcomer to the area , then do come and see what we can offer, We are an award-winning Drama Group with many successful productions to our credit – but none of that matters unless we attract audiences Of course, if you’re one of our valued regular patrons we hope to see you with us – and please do spread the word! The play is not suitable for children. ALL TICKETS ARE £6 AND CAN BE OBTAINED ON 07438 508166 or MTTG. THEATRE@GMAIL.COM

CONGRATULATIONS to our latest Year 11 pupils who have again achieved an outstanding set of GCSE results. Twenty-seven pupils achieved at least one Grade 9 (Highest grade possible) even though nationally fewer pupils have been awarded these grades. We are delighted that their hard work has been rewarded despite the challenges of the last few years. This success cannot happen without the support of parents and the dedication of all staff at the school. We wish our class of 2023 the best of luck in their future careers and post 16 destinations.
Postman Simon’s next charity walk
46 miles along the Llangollen Canal LOCAL POSTMAN Simon Moore of Field Head will be walking the LLangollen Canal this month to raise much-needed cash for the charity ADAPT (All Dependent and Pre Term Babies).
This 46 mile waterway begins at Thurleston Junction on the Shropshire Union canal taking in 21 locks and finishes in Llangollen after the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which is the tallest waterway in the British Isles. The walk will start from Nantwich, Cheshire early Saturday morning on Saturday 23rd September, continue to Whitchurch for an overnight stay and then continue on Sunday to Chirk. Arrival in Llangollen is planned for lunchtime on Monday 24th September. Simon says: ‘All my fund raising events have always received wonderful support from family, friends, the generous people of Groby and Royal Mail and I would like to express my sincere thanks for your fantastic support. I’m hoping this year can be just as successful, as the charity ADAPT, which I raise money for each year, is very close to our hearts.’ If you would like to sponsor me then please catch me on my post round in Groby or pop into Groby Post Office. For more information to donate or to fund raise on behalf of Adapt call Sue Williams, Trustee, on 01455 459523/07739 504783 or visit www.prembabies.co.uk
