Please can you help?

This summer, a production of 'Guys and Dolls' is proposed at the Exmouth Pavilion. Nicholas Walton has been asked if it is possible to provide a ladies uniform for the occasion. This will need to be a' stand up collar' tunic and an old style bonnet with long ribbon. The size needs to be reasonably generous with a full length skirt.

They need to know by the end of April if anyone is able to help. Any queries please speak to Nicholas as soon as possible or email him at Nickascalon@aol.com Thank you, in anticipation
