Shindig - Bringing Professional Performance to Community Venues

Since 2004, Shindig has been working with voluntary groups bringing together theatre companies, dancers and musicians from within the UK as well as abroad. Through October, November and December they are bringing a selection of professional shows to Worcestershire towns and villages. Varying from Pinocchio with masked performers to a one man crime thriller play, Shindig brings something for everyone to local community venues.

The scheme is managed by Live&Local, a not-for-profit organisation, and hosted by a network of over 50 voluntary promoting groups who chose the shows and sell tickets locally.  This is an excellent opportunity to see top performances 'on your doorstep' and is not one to be missed!

For more information visit: www.shindig.org.uk for the full What's On listings and to find out how to purchase tickets.

Why not leave a comment if you have seen the shows before or are really looking forward to a particular show.  We would love to hear from you!

2012 Wychavon Sport Recognition Award Winners

Congratulations to all the winners of our Wychavon Sport Recognition Awards 2012.  The standard of those nominated was outstanding and after a lot of deliberation the twelve winning individuals or groups were decided.  Each winner has been nominated for the County Sports Awards and we hope to see many Wychavon winners this year. 

The Chairman of Wychavon District Council, Richard Morris, was present to announce and hand out awards.  He reflected on what an inspirational year for sport 2012 has been both nationally and locally.  Excitement was added by the presence of both an olympic and paralympic torch, kindly brought along by Dennis and Tracey Hodgkins. 

The Community Development Team would like to thank everybody that came along and made the evening one to be proud of.

Why not show your support for the winners on our Facebook:  Wychavon Community Development .
