Finn-Brit Players Annual General Meeting

WHAT: The Players' AGM with free drinks and snacks
WHEN: Saturday 22nd January, ** 18:00 **
WHERE: FINNBRIT, Fredrikinkatu 20 A, Helsinki

Heading into our 30th anniversary year, we would like to have a number of special events over the year, but to do that we need people to give up a bit of their time and help out. If you too would like the society to be even more active and even better for its anniversary year, then please run for committee! Don’t forget that the society belongs to its members, and this is the best chance to voice your opinions! There will be some snacks and drinks, and everybody is welcome to attend.

** PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE TIME CHANGE! **

Committee

Dear Players,

An active society needs active members - in recent years there have been fewer and fewer people volunteering for the committee, and activities have been cut back. Heading into our 30th anniversary year, we would like to have a number of special events over the year, but to do that we need people to give up a bit of their time and help out. If you too would like the society to be even more active and even better for its anniversary year, then please run for committee!

The Finn-Brit Players' are celebrating Vappu in Kaivopuisto this year, so come along and join us. We'll be somewhere near the old FINNBRIT premises on Puistokatu at 14.00 on Sat 1st May. Fionna O'Sullivan is hosting and there will be some bubbly too - so come early! Due to the unpredictability of Finnish weather, please sign up here to be kept informed of any changes to the plan.

So March is looking very busy! Here is what's happening:

Weds 11: Poetry & Jazz. Day 1 of 3.

Poetry and Jazz is now entering the 8th year of performances. It has evolved over the years to include dramatic monologues and stories. The theme for the spring program is: The Four Elements with music provided by a clarinet played by John Millar. The program will contain poetry of many styles, dramatic monologues and a story. Most pieces are written by the performers and a few by well-known authors.

Directed by Joel Holmberg.

Fri 13: St. Patrick’s Day
