Community Drama -- an Exciting New Development!

20 - 30 local people attended our public presentation/discussion, which took place in the Brunton Hall on December 10th, 2012.  The Chairman, Roger Knox, and I outlined the Pinkie Cleugh-related developments that had occurred since our inaugural meeting 18 months ago........




and there was a warmly-welcomed presentation by Susan Marrins of her project with the P4/5 class at Wallyford Primary:



We also introduced the plan for a Battlefield Trail project, supported by 'All Our Stories' HLF funding, and described in my previous posts on this site.
The meeting completed with extensive interaction and discussion with members of the audience, including Irvine Allen, from Queen Margaret University.  Since that meeting, Irvine has been incubating an exciting plan  for a QMU Community Drama project centred on the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh.  Today, 22nd January, Roger and I had a brief but productive meeting with Irvine and some of the students who may contribute to this production.   The plan is only an outline at the moment, but the needs of the student timetable are even more demanding than our requirement to complete the whole project in September ---- so the project is set to develop dramatically fast!
