Martin Ogden

For those of you who don't know Martin on the amdram circuit, though many do, you have almost certainly seen his photography either on social media or gracing the pages of many a production program. Over the years he has done a tremendous amount for societies across the north west and to show our appreciation the committee unanimously decided to award him with a life time membership. Don't forget to congratulate him if you see him on your travels!
We also had the honour of awarding two of our most committed members firstly with the Janice Eastwood Award which was received by Eleanor Molloy. Plus our newest award for 2016 donated by Mavis & David Belton for most outstanding performance in a production went to Chantelle Champion.

Mavis & David offer their services at all of our productions and in recognition of this the committee wanted to award them both with life time membership.
