Update 2100 hours 03/03/18

The roads at the Uni have been cleared and there is access to the car parks.

When coming to drop off your costumes on Sunday between 4pm and 5pm you may be able to access the MacRobert foyer via the front door.  If it is closed then please enter the Uni via the door to the left of the MacRobert main door and ascend the stairs to the Atrium.  You will be met there and guided to the dressing rooms.  This applies to males and females.

Please note that most of the Production Team will be at the MacRobert all Sunday and Monday and cannot be easily contacted by email.

Update 1030 3/03/18

A bit more snow overnight but fortunately not much.  This afternoon's rehearsal will proceed as planned with cast members getting lifts as requested.  I would suggest that you walk if you stay anywhere near Beechwood (I shall be walking) although I'm aware that most of the cast live too far away to attempt this.   We'll have to rehearse without Props as we can't carry them but the fake radio mikes will be in use.

The MacRobert's backstage area will be open tomorrow.  We will check the access roads and car parks later today and keep you informed.  The costume drop off on Sunday should be OK but the route to the dressing rooms may be changed so please watch this blog.

The good news is that Robin and Phil made it to Thornhill this morning so we have backcloths.  They believe the lorry will be able to get there tomorrow so we'll have all our scenery.

We have contingency plans in place for most eventualities but your safety comes first.

Weather Update 1330 hours 2/03/18

With crossed fingers I can say that today is a lot better and we are planning to go ahead with Saturday's rehearsal starting at the earlier time of 1pm for the main Gang (although Junior Gang can also come then if it's more convenient) and finishing at 6pm.  Beechwood will be open from noon if you have to come earlier.  The Junior Gang finishes at 3.30pm.

An email is being sent out to everyone by 2pm today detailing transport arrangements and also appealing for help with transport.

Thursday 1 March 2018

Weather Update 1450 hours 1/03/18

The weather is so bad that there is little hope of significant improvement by this evening so tonight's rehearsal (Thursday) is cancelled.

Saturday's rehearsal will start at 1pm to try to retrieve some of the lost time.  The Junior Gang will still be needed from 2pm - 3.30pm but if a parent wishes to drop off a Brownie or Cub at 1pm because they are also bringing a main Gang member then this will be OK.

When arriving at Beechwood by car, the side road may be too snowy to approach the hall.   We suggest you approach from the St Ninians direction so that children do not have to cross the main road.  You can park on the main road and walk over to the hall which is on the right hand side of the houses and to the rear
