On Tuesday 28 September, KDC held its Annual General Meeting. An opportunity for the members to learn about the progress of the year, the changes made to KDC, and the financial situation of the company. Also, it is an opportunity for new members to step up and nominate themselves to become a part of the committee and have an active hand in shaping the direction of the company.
We have four new faces on the committee for the next year. Dave Balfour has joined Fiona Thomas on the technical side of things, after having stepped up and been the lighting guru for shows during the past few seasons. He even brought a gobo! Sarah Heenan is taking up the post as the New Writing Coordinator. Sarah was a writer for Summers Gone and The War of The Waleses (as well as the director) as well as being an active actor/socialiser in the KDC circuit. Kim Morrison joins us as Secretary, replacing Anna Marx. Kim is very new to KDC having just appeared in the devised piece, Pub Quiz Champion. And finally Aruna Buchanan-Brown has come forward to fill the long vacant position of Publicity Officer, so you can expect to see a lot more tweets, facebook invites and emails from her!
I would also like to that a massive thanks to Anna Marx and Sandy Nicholson who have been on the committee for… ooof… can’t quite remember how long. I blame the Hoop. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done to contribute with the committee, Anna for the bookings, the general crisis resolution and Showdown, Sandy for your help with the Round Tables, the new writing, both for stepping up as Liaison and Audition reps. Thanks both!
