Tenbury Volunteer Recruitment Fair a Success

A big thank you to all who helped with the Tenbury Volunteer Recruitment Fair.

Despite, very changeable weather I think the day was a success.  Although we only collected 6 new names, if just one of those could turn out to be as good as the volunteers helping on the day then we have taken a further step forward.


 I think the day also helped to raise our profile amongst the many other local voluntary organisations and demonstrated yet another way the room can be used.

So once again, thank you to everyone that came.

Regal Trust Report May 2014


Last Friday we launched the brochure for the Summer Season.  The programme of events is increasingly diverse, with Hypnotism, Drama; both broadcast & live, live & broadcast Classical Music, Music from the 40s, 60s & 70s, Blues, Opera, Comedy, a poignant commemoration of D-Day and an evening of nostalgia and memories specially commissioned by the Regal, a film festival, and films of all genres including a feature film shot on location in Herefordshire & Monmouthshire, where we will be joined by the Director after the screening.


Luckily the only complaint has been that we were programming so much great content some people feel compelled to visit us several times some weeks.


One lady said that she has seen more great entertainment and has been able to participate in more cultural events, in the last two years than she has been able to in the last 70 years, and all this in rural Worcestershire. She previously lived near London!


Last night we staged Morecambe, this is the first time the Regal has been included as a venue on a major national tour.  The trust invested in additional stage equipment to make this show possible. The show was simply brilliant.


Tonight is also a significant night in the history of the Regal, with the first digitally downloaded film being screened.  Whilst we have had the equipment to accept films this way for a number of months, this is the first film to arrive by the method.


This coming weekend we host a volunteers fair where the people of Tenbury & the surrounding area will be encouraged to volunteer for 20+ local organisations. We are also encouraging school leavers to come and join us in running the Regal during the school holidays.


This month we also welcome back the reenactors from Severn Valley Railway, who will be arriving in their historic coach to see a classic film from the 1940’s.  We also welcome the staff, pupils and parents from Tenbury High School as they celebrate their achievements.


Fusion Dance & Cheer will be staging their showcase at the Regal, and we are delighted that their principal and head cheer coach has agreed to be the Choreographer for our pantomime, and will also be holding dance & cheer training at the Regal after the summer holidays.

The Regal is now often operational 7 days a week, with a mixture of advertised and private events, sometimes with more than one show or event each day.
