Burton Joyce Players
Tickets for the BJ Players production this week are going fast as we have reduced the seating from 140 to 80 for Covid safety. Online tickets have sold out so if anyone in Woodborough would like a ticket and finds it difficult to get to Burton Joyce, call me on 0777 997 0269 and I will reserve tickets if available.

Our next meeting is on Monday, 20th September when we will be hearing about the Mitford Family – finding out what really went on!
So if you are free – come and give us a try!
