A Middlesbrough group of performers are hoping this year’s Wish campaign will help them to continue hitting the right notes.
Tees Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society is an amateur group which was founded back in 1971 and has been entertaining the people of Teesside by presenting operetta ever since.
Formerly Rosedale Gilbert and Sullivan Society, the group has around 40 members belonging to a range of age groups.
Rehearsals are held every Thursday evening at St Barnabas Church in preparation for the group’s annual production. A Christmas concert is also held each year at the church.
The group also perform throughout the year at Middlesbrough Theatre.
In the past, Tees Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society has entered The Gazette’s Wish campaign in an attempt to gain the support of readers.
With regards to this year’s campaign, Eileen Whittingham of the group said: “The Wish token cash will go towards the ever increasing costs of putting on a production in a theatre.”
Every year, The Gazette’s Wish campaign gives away thousands of pounds to not-for-profit groups and organisations benefiting the Teesside community.
Each registered group will be guaranteed a share of our £40,000 fund.
The more tokens a group collects, the bigger its share of the prize pot.
Tokens are now appearing daily in The Gazette.
The last token will appear on January 21. Submissions for tokens will close at 5pm on Monday, February 23.
To help Tees Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society, send your tokens to: 23 Arlington Road, Middlesbrough, TS5 7RD.
