There is very little snow in Kingston and with the weather forecast looking hopeful we do not envisage any problems. If this alters later in the day / early evening we will of course reconsider.

 

If you are not able to attend this evening but are interested in taking part in the show please email me on secretary(a)kvods.com

 

Auditions will be taking place in early Feb and therefore I need to send you a list of audition pieces asap.

 

The first official meeting for the show will still take place on Wed 3rd Feb at 8pm

If the hall is not sold within a specific time frame then the building will be closed and never used again. If it is sold then it is highly likely that the new buyers will not let us rehearse or perform there.

Either scenario means that KVODS will be homeless and we are all really upset about this. Anyone who has seen or performed in a show at the hall knows what a truly amazing and fantastic experience it is.

We have therefore decided that the only way forward to try and save KVODS home is to try and buy the hall ourselves. This is going to cost approx £300,000 and then a further £200,000 to renovate.

As a registered charity we are hoping to hold as many fundraising events as possible and we are starting this by  doing the following:

We would urge each one of you to donate a minimum of £1 to KVODS. A new account is being set up specifically for this purpose and details will be posted soon. In turn you tell all your friends about the scheme and ask them to donate and so it continues.

ALL money raised will go towards buying the hall, if we are not able to raise enough money then the amount already donated & raised will go towards funding a new home as close to KV as possible.

We have also set up a group on facebook for this purpose – please feel free to join…….

Please please help us keep our home.
