Helmdon Bridge Players
As a group we have gone from strength to strength over the 26 years of our existence. Young folk have grown older …many have passed through… and some have stayed. We are delighted to have enjoyed the talents of many Helmdon folk. Our technical expertise has improved year on year and gone are the days of banging coconuts together.
Thanks to the generosity of Sue Wallace (one of our founder members)
we now have our own lighting rig. We are happy to welcome allcomers who want to tread the boards or help backstage . If you would like to join us, contact Becky on [phone number removed].
We continue to be grateful to Sue Wallace and Peter Burns who offer us storage space at their farm, to the Sports Club who house our container at their ground and to Paul Duncombe who generously provides trans-
port to move our larger items around the village.
What a wonderful village we live in! We want to wish you all a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.

Directed by: Morag Underwood and Becky Leitelmayer

The Action
As Christmas approaches, Helmdonville is threatened by a wave of crime. The Red Claw has become hungry for power and is also cheesed off that Father Christmas never brings her any presents because she is on the “naughty girls” list. Al Capuccino, another local thug, decides to help out with the dastardly plan to capture the mayor and begin the transfer of power to the criminal underclass.
Captain Righteous, the local superhero, hears of the kidnap and tries to rescue the mayor and defeat the baddies. He gathers a group of brave souls as he mounts his quest. But everything does not go as planned. It looks like the end of Father Christmas is nigh and global misery is just around the corner. How will Captain Righteous foil the evil plans? Will
Father Christmas live to make his Christmas distribution of presents and good cheer?
Pay careful attention – the plot is complex and you will need a drink at the interval to rekindle the brain cells….. Enjoy!
