Stagecraft and the Gryphon Theatre are always upgrading and developing. If you're interested in donating, we'd very much value some dark-coloured carpet to replace the worn carpet backstage.

If you're able to help us, call Iona Anderson on (04) 475 8434. Thanks!

Committee

As a volunteer organisation, Stagecraft relies on the efforts of its members to put on plays, maintain the venue and manage the affairs of the society.

Every year, at the Annual General Meeting, the society elects a management committee made up of the separately elected officers of the society, and up to nine members who take part in the decision-making and who have their own areas of responsibility. This committee takes overall responsibility for organising the affairs of the society.

Stagecraft's financial year runs from 1 September to 30 August. The AGM is usually held in early October to allow enough time for the accounts to be audited. The committee year runs from AGM to AGM.

The committee for the 2009/10 year is:

• President: Christine Bartlett
• Vice-President: Stephen Fearnley
• Treasurer: Devon Heaphy
• Secretary: Rodney Bane
• Costume and prop hire, theatre group liaison: Iona Anderson
• Club nights: Robert Hickey
• Club nights: Shannon Tubman
• Workshops and set hire: Sam Perry
• Newsletter compiler: Susannah Donovan
• Terry Binding
• Joy Hellyer
• Matthew Leather
• Rebecca Parker
